Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of luminescent materials, and in particular to a broadband near-infrared stress luminescent material that does not require pre-irradiation, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Stress luminescence refers to the luminescence phenomenon produced by materials under external mechanical stress (such as compression, tension, or friction). Due to its unique force-light conversion characteristics, stress luminescent materials have broad application prospects in stress detection, structural health monitoring, and non-destructive testing. In particular, near-infrared stress luminescent materials, due to their strong penetrating power, can effectively reduce autofluorescence interference in biological tissues, making them suitable for deep imaging and monitoring, especially in the biomedical field, enabling more precise detection of physiological parameters.
[0003] However, most current near-infrared stress-luminescent materials rely on defect control and require pre-irradiation charging from an external light source. High-energy irradiation often produces long afterglow luminescence, and these interfering signals further reduce the "purity" of the ML signal, affecting its accuracy and thus limiting its operability in biomedicine.
[0004] Patent CN112063382A proposes a stress material that does not require pre-irradiation and can instantly self-recover luminescence, utilizing Cr 3+ Doping to achieve stress luminescence (LiGa) 5-5x O8:5xCr 3+ This material emits light without external irradiation and possesses self-healing properties, making it suitable for applications such as smart electronic signatures, stress sensors, and bio-stress imaging.

[0022] The present invention is further illustrated below through specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the basic idea of the present invention, as long as they do not depart from the basic idea of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.
[0023] Example 1 A near-infrared stress-luminescent material that does not require pre-irradiation and its preparation method, the method comprising the following steps: Lanthanum oxide, gallium oxide, germanium dioxide, and chromium oxide were selected as starting materials. The raw materials were weighed according to the stoichiometric ratio of each element, resulting in a total of 5 groups. The proportions are as follows: (All proportions below refer to molar ratios) (1) La: Ga: Ge: Cr = 3:5:1:0 corresponds to x = 0.00; (2) La: Ga: Ge: Cr = 3:4.9875:1:0.0125 corresponds to x = 0.0025; (3) La: Ga: Ge: Cr = 3:4.975:1:0.025 corresponds to x = 0.005; (4) La: Ga: Ge: Cr = 3:4.95:1:0.05 corresponds to x = 0.01; (5) La: Ga: Ge: Cr = 3:4.9:1:0.1 corresponds to x = 0.02; After the mixture is ground and mixed evenly, it is placed into an alumina crucible; the alumina crucible is then placed in a high-temperature box furnace. The heating rate is strictly controlled at 5℃ / min, and the mixture is pre-calcined at 800℃ for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, and ground and mixed evenly; then it is calcined at 1250℃ for 5 hours, cooled to room temperature in the furnace, and ground to obtain the target near-infrared stress luminescent material, that is, a near-infrared stress luminescent material that does not require pre-irradiation.
[0024] Figure 1 The XRD patterns of the near-infrared stress-luminescent materials obtained according to proportions (1)-(5) in Example 1 are shown. Cu target Kα rays were used as the irradiation source, with a test voltage of 40 kV, a current of 40 mA, a scan step size of 0.02° / step, and a scan speed of 0.12 s / step. XRD pattern analysis results indicate that the sample obtained after holding at 1250℃ for 5 hours is La3Ga5GeO. 14 The structure is intact and no other impurity phases have been introduced.

The stress emission detection system of this invention was self-built and includes two parts: a stress application system and a spectral collection system. A uniaxial universal testing machine (model: CMT1104, range 10 kN, accuracy class 0.5) is used to apply compressive stress. The optical signal collection system consists of a laptop computer (Lenovo ThinkPad E480), a spectrometer, and a compatible fiber optic probe. The spectrometer is manufactured by Marine Optics, Inc., and uses a QE65pro for signal detection in the visible band (300-1000 nm), equipped with a Hamamatsu FFT-CCD detector. Figure 2 It can be seen that under a stress stimulus of 25 N, all samples can produce near-infrared stress emission centered at approximately 737 nm, with a wavelength range covering 600-1000 nm, corresponding to Cr 3+ of 4 T1→ 4 A2 transition.
