Abstract

The long lasting luminescent β-Ga₂O₃: Cr³⁺ nanorod allows detection in deep organs hours after injection based on the fact that it exhibits more than 72 h afterglow in the wavelength range of 650–850 nm after the cessation of ultraviolet light irradiation. Moreover, its mesoporous structure provides a reservoir for anticancer drugs.
