Abstract

ABSTRACT Flexible mechanoluminescence (ML) composite elastomers have emerged as promising materials for wearable devices, sensing, and monitoring applications. However, most reported systems emit predominantly in the visible or near‐infrared region, which can only be effectively detected in darkness. Solar‐blind ultraviolet (UV) ML systems that can be monitored under all‐weather conditions, in contrast, remain scarce and typically rely on pre‐irradiated phosphors. Herein, a robust solar‐blind ultraviolet‐C (UVC) ML composite elastomer composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Sr 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Pr 3+ (SPO:Pr) phosphors is developed. This composite elastomer exhibits self‐powered and self‐recovered UVC emission…
