Although there have been numerous reports on broadband near-infrared (NIR) emitting phosphors, their emissions are mainly concentrated in the range of 700–1000 nm (NIR-I). Herein, we successfully synthesized a broadband near-infrared phosphor CaMgGeO4:Cr4+(CMG:Cr4+) with an emission in the range of 1000–1600 nm (NIR-II). The introduction of Er3+ ions into CMG:Cr4+ resulted in a wider near-infrared emission phosphor CaMgGeO4:Cr4+,Er3+ (fwhm = 361 nm), compensating for the luminescence of 1500–1600 nm. More importantly, an energy transfer from Cr4+ to Er3+ ions has been discovered. Furthermore, a NIR pc-LED was fabricated by combining the CMG:Cr4+,Er3+ phosphor with a 590 nm chip. The changes in intensity and profile of the transmission spectra of light passing through different liquids reveal its potential application in organic compound recognition. This work opens a direction for the development of NIR-II phosphors.

Piezocatalysis has emerged as a green and efficient technology to address widespread environmental challenges and public health concerns. However, scalable fabrication of high-performance, cost-effective piezocatalysts remains challenging. Herein, we propose a facile strategy utilizing rare-earth element doping to significantly enhance the piezocatalytic performance of BaTiO 3 ceramic powder synthesized via solid-state sintering. The Er-doped BaTiO 3 demonstrates exceptional RhB dye degradation with a rate constant of 257 × 10 −3 min −1 , representing a 4.9-fold improvement over pristine BaTiO 3 and surpassing reported lead-free perovskite piezocatalysts. Remarkably, even at ultralow piezocatalyst loading (2.5 mg 1 mol% Er-BaTiO 3 in 5 mg/L RhB), the system maintains a high reaction rate constant of 241 × 10 −3 min −1 . This performance enhancement originates from Er 3+ -induced polarization intensification, oxygen vacancy proliferation, and charge carrier density elevation. Our work establishes an effective strategy for developing high-efficiency piezocatalytic materials with promising applications in wastewater remediation.

Er 3+ /Yb 3+ -codoped CaIn 2 O 4 nano-fibers with good morphology were synthesized by electrospinning technique. X-ray diffraction was performed on the synthesized phosphor of nano-fibers to confirm that the CaIn 2 O 4 crystalline phase is dominant in it. The morphology of the nano-fibers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Optimal power supply voltage and thickener concentration for the synthesis were obtained. Er 3+ 980-nm-upconverted emission characteristics of the nano-fibers were investigated. The results show that two-photon process is the dominant mechanism for the upconversion emissions. The nano-fibers doped with 5 mol% Er 3+ display the strongest upconversion fluorescence. Temperature characteristics of the green 530 and 550 nm upconversion fluorescence of the nano-fibers were also studied for thermometry purposes. The results reveal that the nano-fibers show thermally stable spectral structure and the ones doped with 5 mol% Er 3+ display the highest thermal sensitivity of green fluorescence intensity ratio. We conclude that there exists an optimal Er 3+ concentration of 5 mol%, and the CaIn 2 O 4 nano-fibers doped with this optimal Er 3+ concentration display some spectroscopic properties favorable for ratiometric thermometry in the high-temperature regime.

(Gd 1−x−y Er x Yb y ) 2 Ti 2 O 7 (GTOEY) fibers were synthesized by electrospinning technique and heat-treatment processes, in which nano-scale fibers vested with homogeneous porous morphology, high crystallinity and elevated temperature heat-resistance. Under 977 nm laser excitation, GTOEY nanofibers exhibit effective frequency upconversion (UC) fluorescence, therefore, the violent green and dimmed red UC emissions are identified as two-photon absorption processes, attributing to 2 H 11/2 / 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 radiation transitions of Er 3+ , respectively. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity based on UC emission fluctuation of Er 3+ over a wide temperature range of 303–633 K has been derived. Thereby, having used a 980 nm laser and achieved green UC luminescence of GTOEY fibers centered at 525 and 545 nm, the maximum absolute and relative sensitivity values are obtained to be 0.382% K −1 and 1.12% K −1 , respectively. These significant results demonstrate that the GTOEY nanofibers with distinct porous structure and admirable photothermal sensitivities can be regarded as a promising temperature sensing material used for overheating alarm and safety protection equipment.

The co-doping effect of Zr 4+ ions on upconversion (UC) luminescent properties in visible region of Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ and Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ sub-microcrystals prepared by urea precipitation method has been investigated under 980 nm excitation. Compared with the original Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ and Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ sub-microcrystals, the UC luminescence of sub-microcrystals with similar size was enhanced after Zr 4+ ions co-doping. The UC luminescent properties have been discussed in detail via luminescence spectra, decay curve analysis and a suitable energy level diagram. The enhancement mechanism of UC luminescence in the two series of Zr 4+ ions doped sub-microcrystals was attributed to the complex crystal field around Er 3+ ions caused by Zr 4+ ions co-doping. After Zr 4+ ions substituted Y 3+ ions and entered the crystal lattice, the charge mismatch and lattice distortion made the crystal field more complex. This research contributes to the understanding of UC luminescent properties of lanthanide (Ln 3+ ) ions doped UC materials and their technological applications in fields such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and optical temperature sensors.

In this paper, upcovnerison luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped NaYF4 nanophosphors was regulated by changing the Er3+ concentration. With increasing the Er3+ concentration, the green and red emissions increased first and then decreased, but the intensity ratio of red to green emission decreased monotonically. To clarify the role of Er3+ doping, the factors including crystal structure, morphology and size of particle, photon absorption, energy transfer, multi-phonon relaxation, population of emissive levels and emission probability of radiative transitions were considered and analyzed. More importantly, we proposed a simple method for discussing radiation transitions based on luminescence temperature sensing.

A series of MgMoO 4 : x%Er 3+ ( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) phosphors were synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction. The doping concentration of Er 3+ was optimized, and the thermometric properties of the phosphors were investigated based on the thermally coupled energy levels of Er 3+ ( 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 ) via the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technology. The absolute sensitivity (S A ) and relative sensitivity (S R ) of the samples were investigated with the maximum S R being 0.83% K −1 . To maintain the electrical neutrality of the phosphors and reduce lattice distortion of the hosts, a certain amount of charge compensators (Li + , Na + , K + ) were introduced into the phosphors. The luminescent intensity of the phosphors was enhanced greatly, and the thermometric properties were improved slightly with the maximum S R at 0.89% K −1 by the charge compensators.

A series of Sr 2.99-x (PO 4 ) 2 :.01Er 3+ /xYb 3+ ( x = .02, .04, .06, .08, .10) phosphors in the presence of impurity Tm 3+ were synthesized by high temperature solid-state method, and X-ray diffraction results show that these samples are pure R-3 m(166) space group phase. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Er 3+ and impurity Tm 3+ under 980-nm laser excitation were investigated, and the results show that the intense blue UCL of impurity Tm 3+ and thermal enhancement of 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 of Er 3+ simultaneously exist. When Er 3+ doping concentration is kept at .01, both the blue UCL intensity of impurity Tm 3+ and green and red UCL intensity of Er 3+ reach the maximum at Yb 3+ doping concentration of .08. The thermal enhancement effect of 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 of Er 3+ was observed as high as 3.27 times from 303 to 723 K, which is because of lattice distortion and phonon-assisted transition. In addition, the optical temperature performance of Sr 2.91 (PO 4 ) 2 :.01Er 3+ /.08Yb 3+ sample was studied, and the maximum absolute temperature sensitivity was calculated as .00623 K −1 at 538 K. This study suggests that Sr 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors in the presence of impurity Tm 3+ have a promising application prospect as optical temperature sensor at high temperature.

Fluorescent powders exhibiting excitation dependence and luminescent discoloration are profoundly relevant for concealing information and enhancing optical antiforgery protection. In this study, Bi 3+ /Ln 3+ (Eu 3+ , Er 3+ )-doped phosphors exhibiting multicolor luminescence and excitation wavelength dependence were synthesized. The Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ -codoped phosphors emitted blue, pink, lavender, and red lights under excitation from conventional ultraviolet (UV) sources. In addition to emitting blue light, the Bi 3+ /Er 3+ -codoped phosphors also transmitted upconversion-emission light from green to yellow under 980-nm laser excitation. Additionally, the luminous color of the Ca 3 Y 2 Ge 3 O 12 :0.01Bi 3+ , 0.2Er 3+ phosphor changed from yellow to orange as the temperature increased. Combining the above luminous-color-change phenomena, the word-hiding experiment exhibited excellent realistic information hiding, with complex color transformation in the stamen and petal parts of the flower pattern. Furthermore, rapid multimodal and complex discoloration was achieved using easy-to-obtain light sources, confirming the potential of Bi 3+ /Ln 3+ phosphors for anticounterfeiting applications.

The single-band red upconversion (UC) emission of lanthanide-doped materials have attracted attention due to its great potential for versatile applications. In this work, YbOCl: x Er 3+ with super pure red UC emission had been successfully synthesized by conventional high temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) confirmed the rhombohedral structure with space group R -3 m (166). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) exhibited agglomeration morphology of smooth sheets with nanometer thickness. The UC emission spectra of YbOCl:Er 3+ manifested intense red emission and much lower green emission when pumped by 980 nm diode laser. The dominating red emission peaking at 670 nm was assigned to the electron transition 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 . The green emission at 521 nm and 547 nm were corresponding to 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transition of Er 3+ , respectively. The CIE chromaticity coordinates showed the color of samples lain in red region and the purity of red emission could be tuned by the concentration of Er 3+ . The UC luminescence mechanism was proposed based on the relationship of UC intensity versus pump power density and their lifetime. Our research provided a new thought for realizing single-band red emission without any further modification.

Cryolite is a suitable host for up-conversion luminescent materials due to its low phonon energy and good optical transparency. In this work, a novel up-conversion material K3YF6:Yb3+, Er3+ with a cryolite structure was prepared successfully by a solid state method. The crystal structure, morphology, composition and up-conversion luminescence properties of the as-prepared sample were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence spectrometer in detail. K3YF6:Er3+, Yb3+ has a cryolite structure. Under 980 nm excitation, the as-prepared sample can generate slight green emission at 524 and 546 nm (attributed to 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 transition, 4S3/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3+) and strong red emission at 661 and 672 nm (corresponding to 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 transition, 4I9/2 → 4I15/2 transition of Er3+). All the green and red up-conversion emission of K3YF6:Er3+, Yb3+ transfer and electronic transition process of the red and green light the sample emitted, the possible luminescence mechanism is discussed in this paper.

The Er 3+ @Yb 3+ co-doped SrAl 2 B 2 O 7 phosphors were prepared by a sol-gel auto-combustion method. The components, microstructure and up-conversion (UC) properties of samples were investigated systematically. The phosphors emitted red light and green light under the excitation of 980 nm wavelength. The intensity of red emission and green emission nearly linearly decreased with increasing ambient temperatures. The red emission, green emission and their intensity ratio as a function of Er 3+ concentrations and Yb 3+ concentrations were studied in detail. The results show that 4.0% Er 3+ and 8.0% Yb 3+ doped samples can obtain the best luminescence intensity while the best light purity cannot be obtained simultaneously. The intensity of red and green emission was measured as a function of excitation power. It indicates that there was no photon avalanche mechanism for SrAl 2 B 2 O 7 : Er 3+ @Yb 3+ due to the absence of sharp change of n values. The UC luminescence corresponded to a two-photon absorption process which was illustrated by the energy transfer mechanism and the steady-state rate equations. Because of the controllable monochromatic luminescence and excellent temperature-dependent luminescence properties, the SrAl 2 B 2 O 7 : Er 3+ @Yb 3+ phosphors have potential application in the fields of non-contact temperature measurement and bio-polychromatic label.
