Abstract

Abstract The limitations of single fluorescent anti‐counterfeiting technologies necessitate the development of more sophisticated encryption methods to protect information and data. Traditional optical anti‐counterfeiting encryption techniques, which rely on light sources with varying wavelengths to identify information, are now insufficient to meet contemporary security demands due to their restricted response to a narrow range of wavelengths. In this study, the fabrication of patterned, lead‐free double perovskite (DP)/poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) fluorescent piezoelectric composite films (CFs) is reported. These CFs integrate the up‐conversion and down‐conversion photoluminescent properties of Cs 2 Na 0.8 Ag 0.2 BiCl 6 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ DP crystals with the piezoelectric properties of P(VDF‐TrFE) film, facilitating multi‐modal information protection. The fluorescent signals of different concealed information in CFs are observable under the excitation of 365 nm UV light and 980 nm infrared (IR) light. Additionally, external pressure applied at various locations on the CFs generates corresponding electrical signals, thereby providing triple‐layer encryption for protected information. A multifunctional anti‐counterfeiting device has been further developed by integrating patterned optical and electrical responses onto flexible CFs, achieving synergistic protection of information security in cross fields and bringing a significant advancement to the high‐level anti‐counterfeiting market.
