Core@shell structures of Fe3O4@Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb/Tm nanoparticles (NPs) with multifunctional properties were prepared using a hydrothermal route with a seed-growth procedure. The effect of Mn2+ ions on the phase, shape, and upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Fe3O4@Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb/Tm NPs was explored using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Furthermore, hydrophobic to hydrophilic surface modification of the Fe3O4@Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb/Tm NPs was achieved by coating the NPs with an amphiphilic polymer (poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene) (C18PMH)) modified with amine-functionalized methyl ether poly(ethylene glycol). Then, the NIR-to-NIR UCL ascribed to the Tm3+ ions, T1-weighted MRI ascribed to the Mn2+ ions, and T2-weighted MRI ascribed to the Fe3O4 core of the hydrophilic Fe3O4@Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb/Tm NPs were evaluated. The results indicate that Mn2+ doping is an effective method to control the size/shape and improve the UCL intensity of Fe3O4@Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb/Tm NPs, which are promising as imaging agents for NIR-to-NIR UCL and T1/T2-weighted MRI in biomedical research.

A novel fluorescence method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and uric acid (UA) was developed. The procedure was based on the hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which effectively quenched the fluorescence of the Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Based on the property of Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles, the Fenton reaction and enzymatic reaction of uric acid, this method could be used for highly sensitive detection of H 2 O 2 and uric acid. Under optimal conditions, we observed that the fluorescence quenching signal showed good linearity with the H 2 O 2 concentration in the range of 3.00 × 10 -8 M ~ 6.00×10 -5 M, and the detection limit of this assay was 1.30×10 -8 M. Meanwhile, the linear concentration range for UA was 4.00 × 10 -9 M ~ 1.00×10 -5 M, and the lower limit of detection was 1.90×10 -9 M. Furthermore, the developed method was successfully used for the determination of UA levels in human serum with satisfactory results.

An upconversion luminescence method was developed for the determination of glutathione (GSH), L -cysteine (Cys) or L -ascorbic acid (AA) based on redox reaction . We synthesized poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-modified Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), and the luminescence of these UCNPs was effectively quenched due to their carboxyl groups coordinating with Fe 3+ to form a UCNPs/Fe 3+ system. GSH, Cys or AA reduced Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ , which induced the luminescence recovery of the UCNPs. Under the optimized conditions, wide linear concentration ranges from 0.25-300 μM for GSH, 0.5–875 μM for Cys and 0.5–350 μM for AA were found, and the detection limits (3 S/K) were 0.2 μM, 0.5 μM and 0.2 μM, respectively. Thus, the UCNPs/Fe 3+ system was successfully applied for sensing GSH, Cys or AA.

A highly sensitive luminescent bioassay for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium was fabricated using Mn 2 + -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the donor and gold nanorods (Au NRs) as the acceptor and utilizing an energy transfer (LET) system. Mn 2 + -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm UCNPs with a strong emission peak at 807 nm were obtained by changing the doped ion ratio. Carboxyl-terminated Mn 2 + -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm UCNPs were coupled with S. typhimurium aptamers, which were employed to capture and concentrate S. typhimurium . The electrostatic interactions shorten the distance between the negatively charged donor and the positively charged acceptor, which results in luminescence quenching . The added S. typhimurium leads to the restoration of luminescence due to the formation of UCNPs-aptamers- S. typhimurium , which repels the UCNPs-aptamers from the Au NRs. The LET system does not occur because of the nonexistence of the luminescence emission band of Mn 2 + -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm UCNPs, which had large spectral overlap with the absorption band of Au NRs. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of detecting S. typhimurium was 12 to 5 × 10 5 cfu/mL (R = 0.99). The limit of detection for S. typhimurium was as low as 11 cfu/mL in an aqueous buffer. The measurement of S. typhimurium in milk samples was satisfied in accordance with the plate-counting method, suggesting that the proposed method was of practical value in the application of food security.

A novel aptasensor labeled with Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs) was employed in electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA). The ECL aptasensor was assembled by immobilizing the thiolated aptamers of BPA covalently on a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-modified electrode and pairing with complementary DNA labeled with NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs. The ECL aptasensor can not only rapidly and accurately detect BPA concentrations from 0.05 to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.037 ng/mL but also provides a new platform for ECL applications based on the use of upconversion nanoparticles as a promising alternative material.
The NaYF4:Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs combining with the BPA aptamer serving as recognition elements create a ECL platform for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A. The change in ECL signals induced by aptamer-target interactions was measured and a significant decrease in intensity was found on interaction with BPA in the concentration range of 0.05 to 100 ng/mL.

An redox luminescence switch was developed for the sensing of glutathione (GSH), l -cysteine (Cys) or l -ascorbic acid (AA) based on redox reaction. The Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion nanorods (UCNRs) with an emission peak located in the red region were synthesized. The luminescence intensity of the UCNRs could be quenched due to the Mn 2+ could be oxidized to MnO 2 by KMnO 4 . Subsequently, when the AA, GSH or Cys was added into the MnO 2 modified upconversion nanosystem, which could reduced MnO 2 to Mn 2+ and the luminescence intensity was recovered. The concentration ranges of the nanosystem are 0.500–3.375 mM (R 2 = 0.99) for AA, 0.6250–11.88 mM (R 2 = 0.99) for GSH and 0.6250–9.375 mM (R 2 = 0.99) for Cys, respectively.
