Summary: | Dual-functional nanoparticles with near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence and sun-light photocatalytic activity are highly desired for medical diagnosis and environmental protection. Here, we report a facile one-step method for simultaneous enhancement of persistent luminescence and photocatalytic activity of the dual-functional persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs).
