The substantial amount of data generated every second in the big data age creates a pressing requirement for new and advanced data storage techniques. Luminescent nanomaterials (LNMs) not only possess the same optical properties as their bulk materials but also have unique electronic and mechanical characteristics due to the strong constraints of photons and electrons at the nanoscale, enabling the development of revolutionary methods for data storage with superhigh storage capacity, ultra-long working lifetime, and ultra-low power consumption. In this review, we investigate the latest achievements in LNMs for constructing next-generation data storage systems, with a focus on optical data storage and optoelectronic data storage. We summarize the LNMs used in data storage, namely upconversion nanomaterials, long persistence luminescent nanomaterials, and downconversion nanomaterials, and their applications in optical data storage and optoelectronic data storage. We conclude by discussing the superiority of the two types of data storage and survey the prospects for the field.

基于发光纳米材料的光学和光电数据存储的最新进展

在大数据时代，每秒产生的大量数据对新的和高级的数据存储技术提出了迫切的要求。发光纳米材料（LNM）不仅具有与其块状材料相同的光学特性，而且由于光子和电子在纳米级的强约束而具有独特的电子和机械特性，从而能够开发具有超高存储容量的革命性数据存储方法，超长的工作寿命和超低的功耗。在这篇综述中，我们调查了LNM在构建下一代数据存储系统方面的最新成就，重点是光学数据存储和光电数据存储。我们总结了用于数据存储的LNM，即上转换纳米材料，长余辉发光纳米材料和下转换纳米材料及其在光学数据存储和光电数据存储中的应用。最后，我们讨论了两种类型的数据存储的优越性，并概述了该领域的前景。
