Abstract

Stimuli-responsive micro/nanoscale photonic barcodes show great capacity for encryption and anticounterfeiting technologies due to multiple authentications, yet their application is commonly restricted by invasive stimuli. Herein, we report noninvasive light-stimulated high-security photonic barcodes based on spatially assembled photoresponsive two-dimensional (2D) 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate (BTB)@Ln-MOF host-guest heterostructures. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra information on BTB@Ln-MOF heterostructures could be precisely controlled by the different wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) light trigger. By using the PL properties and 2D heterostructures as cryptographic primitives, spatially resolved smart photonic barcodes based on both spectral and graphical coding are realized in BTB@Ln-MOF host-guest materials. These results will pave an avenue for the development of smart stimuli-responsive photonic barcodes for anticounterfeiting applications.
