Near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials have emerged as a growing field of interest, particularly for imaging and optics applications in biology, chemistry, and physics. However, the development of materials for this and other use cases has been hindered by a range of issues that prevents their widespread use beyond benchtop research. This review explores emerging trends in some of the most promising NIR materials and their applications. In particular, we focus on how a more comprehensive understanding of intrinsic NIR material properties might allow researchers to better leverage these traits for innovative and robust applications in biological and physical sciences.
近红外（NIR）发光材料已成为一个越来越受关注的领域，特别是在生物学、化学和物理学的成像及光学应用方面。然而，用于此用途及其他应用场景的材料开发受到了一系列问题的阻碍，这些问题使得它们无法在台式研究之外得到广泛应用。本综述探讨了一些最有前景的近红外材料及其应用的新兴趋势。特别是，我们关注对近红外材料固有特性的更全面理解如何能使研究人员更好地利用这些特性，在生物和物理科学中实现创新且稳健的应用。
