Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is an important gaseous signaling agent mediated by many physiological processes. However, current downconversion H 2 S probes are impractical for bioimaging due to the short tissue penetration of UV/visible light. As reported by J. S. C. Loo, Q. Zhang, and co‐workers on page 4874, a new design for the NIR‐excited imaging of H 2 S is developed by using coumarin‐hemicyanine (CHC1)‐modified upconversion nanophosphors. This work can be further developed as a diagnostic tool for the detection of H 2 S‐induced inflammatory diseases.
