Multimodal anti-counterfeiting based on CsPbBr<sub>3</sub>/Er<sup>3+</sup>-codoped tellurite glass phosphor
This work presents a novel, to the best of our knowledge, multimodal anti-counterfeiting (AC) phosphor based on CsPbBr<sub>3</sub>/Er<sup>3+</sup>-codoped tellurite glass powders. Benefiting from the sensitization effect of CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> nanocrystals (NCs) on Er<sup>3+</sup>, the photoluminescence (PL) excitation band of Er<sup>3+</sup> is greatly extended, permitting far more excitation channels that offer unique near-infrared (NIR) emission properties absent in conventional Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped phosphors. This innovation enables encrypted information identification invisible to the naked eye and smartphones but detectable by commercial NIR cameras, with additional upconversion luminescence under 980 nm excitation for smartphone-based detection. Our study explores the energy transfer mechanisms between CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> and Er<sup>3+</sup>, demonstrating the potential of these glasses in advanced optical and security technologies.
