A novel composite double-layer film was developed using TiO 2 /La(OH) 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles (P25/UC) and porous-hollow TiO 2 microspheres (PHTS) for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). P25/UC was used as the first layer and coated onto fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate to create a good contact and upconversion effect. The P25/UC layer can absorb and convert infrared light into visible red and green light, increasing light utilization. PHTS has a large size and a high specific surface area, was deposited onto the surface of the P25/UC film to improve the light scattering performance and dye adsorption of solar cells. The P25/UC composite double-layer film (P25/UC + PHTS) achieved the highest short-circuit current density of 20.33 mA/cm 2 and photoelectron conversion efficiency of 8.89% due to the synergistic effect of the upconversion layers and light-scattering layers, which increased by 51.26% and 38.04% compared with that of the pure P25 film photoelectrode.

A composite film was prepared by mixing NaLuF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ up-conversion luminescent material with commercial P25, and a scattering layer composed of flower-like TiO 2 was added on to the composite film (UC/P25) to form a double-layer composite film (UC/P25 + FT). An AgNO 3 solution was irradiated by ultraviolet light to deposit nano-Ag particles on the prepared double-layer film, and a nano-Ag modified double-layer film (UC/P25 + FT + Ag) was finally obtained. The synergistic effect of the three improved methods conferred the UC/P25 + FT + Ag film with a wide spectral absorption range, strong light-scattering ability, and strong light absorption capability, which greatly improved the photoelectric performance of the film. The maximum photoelectron conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells with the UC/P25 + FT + Ag photoanode reached up to 8.14%, which increased by 32.36% compared with that of the pure P25 film photoelectrode .

Constructing full spectrum photocatalyst is an effective strategy to improve the conversion efficiency of solar energy. In this work, BiOI:Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ /Bi 2 O 4 (BYE/BO) direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a fast and simple microwave-assisted hydrothermal method . XRD , XPS , FE-SEM, TEM , PL , DRS, and BET were used to investigate the physical and chemical properties of samples. Compared to pure BYE and BO, as-synthesized BYE/BO samples had significantly improved photocatalytic activity in the degradation of Ciprofloxacin and Rhodamine B when exposed to visible or near infrared light (NIR) light. Among them, 20% -BYE/BO has the best photocatalytic activity , and its NIR-light degradation ratio of Ciprofloxacin is as high as 66 and 103 times that of BO and BYE, respectively. The enhanced photoactivity of as-synthesized BYE/BO heterojunction is attributed to synergistic effects of the upconversion and the direct Z heterojunction . Moreover, capture experiment showed that the·O 2 - and h + were main active species, and the directive Z-scheme mechanism was proposed.

Glass-forming region guided design gives a stable Zn(PO 3 ) 2 -AlF 3 -NaF fluorophosphate host (ΔT ≈ 166 °C) for fiber drawing. • Fluorine as a network modifier creates a low-phonon environment, boosting 1.5 μm emission. • Broadband 1.5 μm emission in bulk (47.2 nm) and fiber (ASE 1450–1650 nm, 0.187 dB/cm). Driven by the rapid growth of AI, 5G/6G, and chip-scale LiDAR, broadband 1.5 μm gain media with high efficiency and fiber compatibility are urgently needed. However, the structure-spectroscopy correlation governing the luminescence performance of Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped glasses remains insufficiently understood. In this work, a Zn(PO 3 ) 2 -AlF 3 -NaF fluorophosphate glass composition (ZAFPN15) was selected based on a previously reported glass-forming region and characterized from atomic structure to fiber-level performance. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that fluorine predominantly acts as a network modifier and that Er 3+ ions are predominantly coordinated by fluorine (Er–F coordination number ≈ 7.73). The local phonon energy around Er 3+ ions is estimated to be below 500 cm⁻ 1 , much lower than the nominal maximum phonon energy (∼1260 cm⁻ 1 ). The optimized glass exhibits a measured emission cross-section of 0.54 × 10⁻ 20 cm 2 at 1535 nm with an effective linewidth of 47.2 nm, together with a low inversion threshold (∼0.2). Fiber fabrication from this glass shows amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spanning 1450–1650 nm with a propagation loss of 0.187 dB/cm at 1535 nm. These results demonstrate that this specific fluorophosphate glass composition can be processed into an active fiber with broadband near-infrared emission, and the structural data offer a possible explanation for the observed emission properties.

In this work, the up-conversion phosphor NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanocrystalline mixed with P 25 and TiO 2 hollow microspheres with high light scattering ability were fabricated as electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Meanwhile, we take advantage of the low cost feature of the carbon counter electrode to replace the precious metal Platinum (Pt) of DSSCs. SEM results show that the well-dispersed TiO 2 hollow microspheres size is 1.5 μm with surface consisting of a large number of rice-like nanorods. The particle size of the as-prepared NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanoparticles is about 80 nm. The Photocurrent-Voltage curve of P 25 /NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ cell under 980 nm infrared light has an obvious infrared photoresponse. The fabricated DSSCs using NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ achieves power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.27% under one sun illumination, which shows an increase of 16% when compared with the benchmark P 25 cell (4.55%). In addition, the optimized DSSC using TiO 2 hollow microspheres as the top scattering layers with NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ /P 25 exhibits a prominent PCE of 6.23%, which shows a 37% increase in conversion efficiency when compared with the commercial P 25 cell (4.55%). The increase in conversion efficiency should be contributed to the dual effects of the enhanced light harvesting of up-conversion NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ and light utilization of the top light scattering TiO 2 hollow microsphere.

In this study, the energy transfer (ET) mechanism among Yb3+/Er3+/Mn2+ has been revealed by download conversion (DC) and upconversion (UC) transients and steady-state fluorescence spectra. Moreover, the novel structure, inert-core/active-shell/inert-shell cubic NaYF4@NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+@NaYF4, has been synthesized via a convenient hydrothermal method. With the excitation of a 980 nm laser diode, bright single-red upconversion (UC) fluorescence is observed, which shows the longest UC lifetime and highest efficiency compared with the other structures of NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+, NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+@NaYF4, and NaYF4@NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+. The inert-core/active-shell/inert-shell nanocubes are homogeneous with an ultra-small (sub-20 nm) size, which is suitable for distribution and elimination in biological tissue. Our results indicate that the Mn2+ doping of δ-doped structures is an effective method to significantly improve UC single-red light, which shows great potential application in vivo bioimaging.

Yb3+/Er3+ codoped Gd2MoO6 upconversion nanocrystals were synthesized via the traditional citric-assisted sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and upconversion emission spectroscopy were employed to characterize the final products. Under the irradiation of 980 nm light, the synthesized nanocrystals emitted visible green and red upconversion emissions arising from the intra-4f transitions of Er3+ ions. The upconversion emission intensities were found to be dependent on the dopant concentration and the emission colour gradually changed from green to yellow, and finally to red on elevating the Yb3+ doping concentration. The involved upconversion luminescence mechanism was systematically studied and the steady-state rate expressions were applied to analyze the influence of energy back transfer on the multicolour upconversion emissions. Moreover, the temperature dependent emission intensity ratio of the (2H11/2, 4S3/2) thermally coupled levels of the Er3+ ion in the range of 303–703 K was recorded to study the optical thermometric properties of the resultant nanocrystals. The maximum sensor sensitivity of the Yb3+/Er3+ codoped Gd2MoO6 nanocrystals was determined to be as high as 0.0053 K−1 at 350 K. In addition, the temperature sensing performance of the synthesized compounds was found to be greatly dependent on the Yb3+ doping concentration. These results reveal that the Yb3+/Er3+ codoped Gd2MoO6 nanocrystals with high sensor sensitivity and wide operation range are suitable for non-contact optical thermometry.

A novel Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped BiOBr photocatalyst with 3D flowerlike hierarchical architectures were successfully fabricated through self-assembled process without any templates under hydrothermal conditions, and the structure and properties of the photocatalysts were characterized. The results indicate that Yb 3+ ions and Er 3+ ions are successfully doped into the lattice of BiOBr, and the as-obtained photocatalyst can respond the NIR light and emit red and green light due to the up-conversion effect of the rare-earth ions. Meanwhile, with co-doped Yb 3+ /Er 3+ ions content increasing, oxygen vacancy concentration in the photocatalyst rises. The oxygen vacancy will form the intermediate energy band, which can decrease the photon energy required for electronical transition, and thus help to utilize the luminous energy generated by up-conversion luminescence. Moreover, the appropriate introduction of defects (oxygen vacancy defect and impurity atom) can further promote the transfer and separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers. Hence, Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped BiOBr photocatalyst exhibits enhanced photocatalytic properties under broad spectrum (UV/vis/NIR) excitation, which is about 4 times as high as that of pure BiOBr.

For better use of solar energy, the development of efficient broadband photocatalyst has attracted extraordinary attention. In this study, a ternary composite consisting of Sr 2 LaF 7 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ upconversion (UC) nanocrystals and Bi nanoparticles loaded BiOBr nanosheets with oxygen vacancies (OVs, SLFBB) was designed and synthesized by multistep solvent-thermal method. Mechanisms of in-situ formation of Bi nanoparticles and OVs in BiOBr/Sr 2 LaF 7 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ composites (SFLB) are clarified. The Bi metal and OVs enhanced the light-harvesting capacity in the region of visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR), and promoted the separation of electron–hole (e − /h + ) pairs. Furthermore, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Bi metal can improve the energy transfer from Sr 2 LaF 7 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ to BiOBr via nonradiative energy transfer process, resulting in enhancing the light utilization from upconverting NIR into Vis light. Due to the synergistic effects of UC function, SPR and OVs, the SFLBB exhibited obviously enhanced photocatalytic ability for the degradation of BPA with a rate of 8.9 × 10 −3 min −1 , which is about 2.78 times higher than 3.2 × 10 −3 min −1 of BiOBr (BOB) under UV–Vis-NIR light irradiation. This work provides a novel strategy for the project of high-efficiency Bismuth-based broadband photocatalysts, which is helpful to further understand the mechanism of enhanced photocatalysis by UC function and plasmonic effect.

In this work, a sequence of Nd3+, Yb3+, and Er3+ tridoped SrF2 nanocrystals (NCs) is synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Both the efficient near-infrared downconversion luminescence (DCL) and visible upconversion luminescence (UCL) of the Er3+ and Nd3+ ions are simultaneously observed and systematically demonstrated under dual-wavelength excitation (808 and 980 nm continuous-wave lasers). Subsequently, the SrF2:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+ (15/4/0.2 mol %) NCs with the strongest luminescence were utilized for detecting the metal ion concentrations under 808 nm excitation. The results reveal that both the UCL and DCL gradually decrease as the metal ion concentrations increase, and high sensitivity is obtained for Cu2+ ions with a detection limit of 0.22 nM (∼650 nm) and 0.63 nM (∼976 nm). In addition, these SrF2:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+ NCs are further demonstrated to achieve a solid-state display under 980 nm excitation, exhibiting obvious “red” and “green” patterns by varying the doping rare earth ion concentrations.

A novel Z-scheme WO 3 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ /Ag/Ag 3 VO 4 /Ag photocatalyst is prepared via hydrothermal and calcination methods. In this system, WO 3 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ is used as an excellent up-conversion luminescent agent and highly active photocatalyst to broaden the light response range. Ag with SPR effect is regarded as electronic channel and cocatalyst to accelerate electron transfer and increase hydrogen production. The photocatalytic performance of Z-scheme WO 3 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ /Ag/Ag 3 VO 4 /Ag photocatalyst is assessed by levofloxacin degradation with synchronous hydrogen production. Some influence factors, sunlight irradiation time, sacrificial agent concentration and catalyst cycle number, are discussed. The emission light spectrum and energy conversion mechanism of WO 3 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ are studied. The photocatalyst gives prominent degradation ratio (90.44 %) and hydrogen production amount (489.02 μmol/g) under sunlight irradiation for 180 min. It shows a high stability and reusability in levofloxacin degradation with synchronous hydrogen production within five cycles. The possible mechanism of levofloxacin degradation with synchronous hydrogen production caused by Z-scheme WO 3 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ /Ag/Ag 3 VO 4 /Ag photocatalyst is proposed.

A series of NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+@NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles doped with Tm3+ and Er3+ were successfully prepared by the solvothermal method. Under 980 nm laser excitation, intense upconversion emission peaks of Tm3+ and Er3+ were observed for all samples. By doping Tm3+ and Er3+ with core–shell partitioning, not only a significant increase in fluorescence intensity could be achieved, but also simultaneous temperature measurements on multiple thermocouple energy levels could be realised. In addition, the temperature sensing performance of different thermocouple energy levels was also investigated, and it was found that the 3F3 → 3H6 and 1G4 → 3F4 thermocouple energy level pairs of Tm3+ were the best, with maximum absolute sensitivity and maximum relative sensitivity of up to 0.0250 K−1 and 2.155% K−1 respectively, higher than the sensitivity of other thermocouple energy levels. It has a temperature resolution of less than 0.0139 K, which is lower than that of most materials available today. By using this material as a probe to build a fiber optic temperature sensor platform, it was found to have reliable temperature measurement performance.
