To realize photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer/tumor both the photothermal conversion and temperature detection are required. Usually, the temperature detection in PTT needs complicated instruments, and the therapy process is out of temperature control in the present investigations. In this work, we attempt to develop a novel material for achieving both the photothermal conversion and temperature sensing and control at the same time. To this end, a core-shell structure with NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ core for temperature detection and NaYF 4 :Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ shell for photothermal conversion was designed and prepared. The crystal structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the temperature sensing properties for the NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ and core-shell NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 :Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ nanoparticles were studied. It was found that the temperature sensing performance of the core-shell nanoparticles did not become worse due to coating of NaYF 4 :Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ shell. The photothermal conversion behaviors were examined in cyclohexane solution based on the temperature response, the NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 :Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ core-shell nanoparticles exhibited more effective photothermal conversion than that of NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ nanoparticles, and a net temperature increment of about 7 °C was achieved by using the core-shell nanoparticles.

Chirality, universal characteristics of nature, introduces asymmetry in synthetic materials. Revealing the microscopic asymmetry of macroscopically symmetric materials is the key to control the growth of chiral materials and give full play to their application potential. Materials for photon upconversion (UC) are of great interest for many applications owing to their anti-Stoke luminescence process, especially for chiral UC materials. For the preparation of UC materials, a tiny change in reaction parameters will lead to variations in morphology, phase components, and fluorescence intensity, as well as its chirality. Because of the strict reaction conditions for the formation of chiral UC materials, there are no reports of the successful synthesis of chiral UC materials. Therefore, a facile method for the controllable synthesis of chiral UC materials is highly desired. Herein, chiral-assembled hexagonal prisms of β-NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ microcrystals were synthesized to realize the smart manipulation of their morphology as well as a great improvement of the fluorescence efficiency. We proposed a three-stage doped β-NaYF4 crystal growth mechanism on mesoscale regulation, where the fluorescence enhancement principle of chirality was revealed. The enhancement of fluorescence efficiency of chiral UC materials endows their promising application in luminescent displays.

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.

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are widely used as energy donors via a luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) technique in biosensing field. To enhance LRET efficiency and afford an improved sensitivity for Cu 2+ detection, sandwich structured NaYF 4 @NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 UCNPs have been designed and prepared. For the core-internal shell-external shell structure, luminescence ions (Er 3+ ) are located in the internal shell near the nanoparticle surface, which is close enough to energy acceptors outside. To study the sensing properties, the UCNPs are used as energy donors and rhodamine B hydrazide (RBH) as energy acceptors to construct the nanoprobes. It is found that the sandwich structured nanoparticles gains more intense luminescence than the naked NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs, which is beneficial to the further improvement of signal sensitivity in biological detection. Moreover, the specificity for detecting Cu 2+ is also checked and found that the designed probe is much more sensitive to Cu 2+ than the other ions including K + , Na + , Li + , Ca 2+ , Ba 2+ , Mg 2+ , Zn 2+ and Sr 2+ . The experiment on the stability of UCNPs-RBH probe and RBH shows the 980 nm laser produces less photodamage to RBH than that of visible light. Therefore, the UCNPs can be used to construct potential probes for realizing effective detection of Cu 2+ .

Novel nanoplatform with excellent photothermal conversion and temperature feedback are preferable in clinical photothermal therapy (PTT). In this work, a hybrid of NaYF 4 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) conjugated with gold nanorods (GNRs) was fabricated in order to achieve effective photothermal conversion and excellent temperature detection. In this nanoplatform, the GNRs as photo-activated nano-heaters could effectively convert the 808 nm photoenergy into heat, meanwhile UCNPs as 980 nm triggered temperature probe could read the temperature in an exact microdomain where the nanocomposite was located at. The effects of excitation source, GNRs concentration and power density on photothermal conversion were investigated. In addition, the difference between eigen temperature of nanoparticles and solution temperature, and the potential for temperature feedback were analyzed under double lasers excitation. Moreover, the photothermal conversion efficiency was experimentally confirmed from thermodynamic analysis. It was found that the nanocomposite can be an excellent nanoplatform for potential application in advanced PTT.
