Abstract
Comprehensive Summary Monitoring of sweat pH plays important roles in physiological health, nutritional balance, psychological stress, and sports performance. However, the combination of functional MOFs with phosphorescent material to acquire the real‐time physiological information, as well as the application of dual mode anti‐counterfeiting, has seldom been reported. Herein, we developed multifunctional gel films based on MOFs and phosphorescent dyes which responded to H + ions and the related mechanism was studied in detail. Upon exposure to H + , the composite gel film exhibited decreased fluorescent signal but enhanced room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), which could be utilized for sweat pH sensing through a dual‐mode. Moreover, multifunctional gel films exhibited a potential application in information encryption and anti‐counterfeiting by designing of stimulus responsive multiple patterns. This research provided a new avenue for portable and non‐invasive sweat pH monitoring methods while also offering insights into stimulus‐responsive multifunctional materials.
