As demand grows for high-performance luminescent materials in solid-state lighting, bioimaging, and anti-counterfeiting, the challenge of enhancing emission efficiency in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) remains critical. Now, researchers from Jilin University, led by Professor Xinyi Yang, have developed a breakthrough strategy using pressure treatment to significantly enhance the blue-light emission of MIL-140A nanocrystals. This work offers a clean, efficient, and scalable approach to modulate luminescence in MOF-based materials.
