Successful upconversion (UC) tuning from multi-bands to one single red band from Er3+ ions was realized in cubic perovskite ABF3:Yb3+/Er3+ (A = K, Cs; B = Zn, Cd) through Mn2+ doping. Based on UC emission spectra and decay kinetics of KZnF3:Yb3+/Er3+ with different Mn2+ contents, a bidirectional energy transfer process between Mn2+ and Er3+ ions was confirmed to explain the UC tuning mechanism. More importantly, we studied the influence of the Mn2+ energy level position on the UC properties for Er3+ in ABF3 hosts. Interestingly, great enhancement of green UC emissions was observed for Er3+ ions in KCdF3 and CsCdF3 hosts upon Mn2+ doping. Comparison of UC emissions and lifetimes of Er3+ ions in the three materials was carried out to probe the different UC processes in ABF3 (A = K, Cs; B = Zn, Cd) hosts. The different energy transfer mechanism between Mn2+ and Er3+, which is affected by the Mn2+ energy level position, was proposed to explain the UC difference in the three matrices. This research convincingly confirmed the occurrence of energy transfer between Er3+ and Mn2+ ions and provided deep insights into the importance of the Mn2+ energy level position in tuning the UC properties of Er3+ in diverse hosts, while allowing us to better control the UC properties through Mn2+ doping.

The growing demand for broadband near-infrared (NIR) irradiation in security, biomedicine, and food science is driving the development of new NIR light sources. Herein, a series of Cr3+/Ni2+ co-doped transparent glass ceramics containing octahedrally coordinated KCdF3 nanocrystals have been successfully prepared. Under 450 nm blue light excitation, the combination of Cr3+ and Ni2+ results in an ultra-broadband NIR emission band ranging from 700 to 1800 nm. Based on the excitation and emission spectra and the decay lifetime curves, the energy transfer (ET) efficiency from Cr3+ to Ni2+ is confirmed to be 50.2%. A glass ceramic-converted NIR-LED was fabricated by integrating a commercial blue LED chip with a representative Cr3+/Ni2+ co-doped glass ceramic and has demonstrated potential applications in the areas of covert information recognition and night vision illumination. Our investigation provides new insights into the development of ultra-broadband NIR light sources that are both cost-effective and efficient.

Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer based upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) have great prospects in biological and photonic applications. In this work, the broadband upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer in perovskite nanocrystals is systematically engineered under multi-wavelength excitations. Under the excitation of 980, 940 and 915 nm lasers, KCdF 3 :Yb 3+ /Mn 2+ UCNCs generate yellow broadband UCL from Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer at room temperature and achieve maximum intensity as Mn 2+ concentration reaches 7.5 mol%. By introducing Er 3+ ions into the KCdF 3 host matrix, the UCL color can be further tuned to pure red with high spectral purity, and the red-to-green (R/G) UC intensity ratio is promoted dramatically. The bidirectional energy transfer (ET) processes between Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer, Mn 2+ and Er 3+ ions facilitate color modulation, supported by power dependence and lifetime measurements. Especially, the ET efficiency is evaluated under the multi-wavelength excitations, confirming the high efficiency of ET processes from Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer to Er 3+ ions. Moreover, the obtained KCdF 3 :Yb 3+ /Mn 2+ /Er 3+ UCNCs present a maximum magnetization intensity of 2.01 emu/g when Mn 2+ concentration reaches 98.5 mol%. Both the tunable UCL and excellent paramagnetism properties indicate that these KCdF 3 :Yb 3+ /Mn 2+ /Er 3+ UCNCs have the capability of bifunctional biomarkers of nanomaterials and can be a candidate for bio-related applications.

Due to the lack of intermediate levels and the large energy mismatch with Yb3+, the achievement of efficient upconversion (UC) of Eu3+ is a great challenge. Herein, intense UC emission of Eu3+ is demonstrated via controllable and efficient unidirectional energy transfer from Yb3+–Mn2+ dimers in perovskite fluoride KCdF3:Yb3+,Mn2+,Eu3+ synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The UC emission color of KCdF3:Yb3+,Mn2+,Eu3+ can be well tuned from yellow to orange and ultimately turned into Eu3+ pure red emission by controlling the Eu3+ concentration. Moreover, a significantly prolonged Eu3+ UC emission lifetime is observed in this system, and it is ascribed to the genetic effect of the sustained resonance energy transfer from Yb3+–Mn2+ dimers to Eu3+. The pump power and temperature dependent UC behaviors further suggest that the phosphor exhibits excellent chromaticity stability. Owing to the long-lived and chromaticity stable UC luminescence, the as-prepared KCdF3:Yb3+,Mn2+,Eu3+ phosphor may be a highly suitable candidate for lifetime-encoded information encryption, anti-counterfeiting, etc.

In contrast to simply static fluorescence, the introduction of time-resolved visualized fluorescence in materials can significantly improve their anti-counterfeiting performance; however, this remains challenging with photon upconversion (UC) luminescent materials. Herein, we demonstrate a color-tunable UC luminescent perovskite fluoride KCdF3:Yb3+,Mn2+,Ln3+ (Ln3+ = Er3+, Ho3+, Tm3+) with both long (∼20–40 ms) and short (∼0.4–2 ms) emission lifetimes. Under steady 980 nm laser excitation, color-tunable steady UC fluorescence from yellow to red (or green) and yellow to blue (including UC white emission) could be easily achieved by tuning the doping concentration of Mn2+ and Ln3+ in the system; whereas, an unalterable yellow UC afterglow was observed by the naked eye when the excitation source was removed. Moreover, the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibited excellent pump power- and temperature-dependent luminescence stability. Static and dynamic photoluminescence analysis provided an understanding of the unique UC luminescence in this system, and a bidirectional energy transfer UC mechanism between Mn2+ (or Yb3+–Mn2+ dimer) and Ln3+ is presented. The multiple anti-counterfeiting prototype using the unique UC luminescent materials demonstrated a high throughput authentication rate without the need for complex, time-gated decoding instrumentation, suggesting their high potential for anti-counterfeiting application, and also providing new insights for the design of photon UC luminescence materials.
