Non‐Destructive and High‐Fidelity Sensing of Plant Water Content Enabled by Near‐Infrared Luminescent Metal Halides

Real‐time, accurate water monitoring is a crucial technical foundation for industrial, environmental, and biological research. However, traditional detection methods typically include destructive processes and suffer from response delays. Near‐infrared (NIR) luminescent metal halides offer a novel solution to this challenge, but they still face issues such as ultraviolet excitation and low photoelectric conversion efficiency. Herein, a luminescent material was synthesized based on the blue‐light‐excited lead‐free perovskite Cs 2 HfCl 6 :Te 4+ /Mo 4+ , in which energy transfer (ET) from Te 4+ to Mo 4+ enables highly efficient NIR luminescence in the 800–1200 nm wavelength range. Upon encapsulation with a commercial blue light chip, the fabricated NIR light‐emitting diode device achieved a photoelectric conversion efficiency of up to 16.1%. By utilizing the absorption characteristics of water molecules in the NIR spectrum and receiving signals via a sensor. An interactive learning process based on a neural network machine learning algorithm was employed, achieving an estimation accuracy of up to 98.6% for plant water content. This non‐destructive and precise NIR detection module provides a new solution for the real‐time monitoring of crop physiological status and holds broad application prospects in the fields of precision agriculture and plant science.
