In this paper, YVO 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ microspheres have been successfully prepared through a facile hydrothermal method assisted with disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and citric acid. X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy , energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy , and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the samples. The results reveal that the as-prepared YVO 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ samples are well-crystallized and spherical in shape. Moreover, the microspheres with diameters of 6–8 μm are assembled by numerous submicron cuboids. Under the excitation of a 980 nm laser diode , the samples show the characteristic emissions of Er 3+ and the green emissions at 525 nm of 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 are dominantly strong.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been broadly used for the repair of human hard tissues due to its bioactivity and similarity to the mineral of bones and teeth. We prepared a fluorine (F), ytterbium (Yb) and holmium (Ho) ternary doped HA (HYH-F) material and investigated its dual functions of bone repair and multimodal tracking. The results showed that the HYH-F material could display clear X-ray micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) images based on Yb ions, and Ho ions due to its superparamagnetic properties for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while the F ions could enhance the upconversion (UC) fluorescence of the Yb/Ho combination. The ternary doped HYH-F material shows good compatibility with cells and bone tissue. A joint usage of Micro-CT imaging and UC fluorescence imaging distinctly and synergistically demonstrated the distribution state and degradation of the HYH-F material during new bone reconstruction. The single matrix HA material with ternary doping will be beneficial for future biomedical investigation and applications, and it can not only be a bone repair biomaterial, but also provide lifelong multimodal tracking efficacy.

Cryolite has been considered as an appropriate host for up-conversion materials due to its low phonon energy, wide light transmission range, easy to form waveguide and stable structure. In this paper, a series of up-conversion materials Cs 3 YF 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ with cryolite structure were prepared by high-temperature solid-phase method. The structure, morphology, element composition and up-conversion luminescence properties of as-prepared samples were characterized. In addition, the number of photons absorbed during the up-conversion process and the possible up-conversion luminescence mechanism are analyzed in detail. Under the excitation of 980 nm, the Cs 3 YF 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ sample emits strong green light visible to the naked eye. Simultaneously, the maximum absolute sensitivity (S a ) and relative sensitivity (S r ) were calculated. All the results indicated that Cs 3 YF 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ has potential applications in the fields of green light display and temperature sensing.

Rare earth (RE) dopants can modulate the bandgap of oxides of indium and gallium and provide extra upconversion luminescence (UCL) abilities. However, relevant UCL fine-tuning strategies and energy mechanisms have been less studied. In this research, InGaO, Ho3+ monodoped and Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped In2O3, and Ho3+ monodoped Yb3Ga5O12 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The effects of Yb3+ and Ho3+ dopants on the crystal structures, UCL properties, and optical bandgaps of the oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UCL spectroscopy, and measurements of decay times, pump power dependence, and transmittance spectra. The crystal structures of oxide products of indium and gallium were significantly modified with RE dopants. In2O3 and Yb3Ga5O12 were selected as the host materials. For Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped In2O3 NPs, there existed energy transfers from the defect states of In2O3 to Ho3+ and from Yb3+ to Ho3+. With a fixed Ho3+ concentration, In2O3:0%Yb3+,2%Ho3+ NPs showed the optimal UCL properties mainly due to In2O3–Ho3+ energy transfer and Ho3+–Yb3+ energy-back-transfer, while with a fixed Yb3+ concentration, In2O3:5%Yb3+,3%Ho3+ NPs with a slight Yb2O3 impurity and Yb3Ga5O12:2%Ho3+ NPs did mainly due to Ho3+–Ho3+ cross-relaxation. Besides, the optical bandgaps of In2O3 and Yb3Ga5O12 were noticeably broadened with RE dopants. These findings can offer feasible directions for the synthesis and UCL fine-tuning of RE-doped oxides of indium and gallium and improve their multifunction application prospects in the fields of semiconductor and UCL nanomaterials.

Lanthanide ion-doped metal halides are a promising class of fluorescent materials. In this paper, we investigated the optical properties and photophysical mechanism of Er3+, Yb3+-doped Cs2NaScCl6 phosphor. It was demonstrated that in both up-conversion (UC) and down-shifting emission modes, the increase of Yb3+ concentration resulted in enhancement of the 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 emission of Er3+ in Cs2NaScCl6. In particular, UC emission gradually shifts from green to yellow with the enhancement of the excitation power density observed in Yb3+-rich systems. The complex cross-relaxation behavior between Yb3+ and Er3+ results in these phenomena. New paradigms are provided for the development of multimodal and dynamic fluorescent anticounterfeiting materials.

The variable valence rare earth elements are difficult to separate due to their similar properties and intermediate valence states in molten salts. In order to realize their efficient and selectivity separation, the properties and separation methods of Sm, Yb, and Eu have been investigated in a low-temperature AlCl 3 -NaCl molten salt. It has been found that the oxidation reactions of different Ln(II) to Ln(III) have different potentials. The Ln(II)/Ln(III) reaction is also irreversible when the AlCl 3 content is less than 50 mol%, Ln(III) exists in the form of LnCl 3 precipitation. Therefore, selectively modulating the valence of Sm, Yb, and Eu by electrochemical methods can achieve their separation. The LnCl 3 produced from the Ln(II) electro-oxidation precipitates and separates from the other unoxidized soluble Ln(II) in AlCl 3 -NaCl melt. The efficient separation of Ln(II) in AlCl 3 -NaCl can be achieved by pulse potentiostatic electrolysis. Under these conditions, the separation factors of Sm-Eu, Sm-Yb, and Yb-Eu can reach 10 3 . The maximum removal of Ln(II) exceeded 99 % with a maximum current efficiency of more than 90 %. Most importantly, the separation of variable valence rare earth elements has been realized in a low-temperature AlCl 3 -NaCl melt.

Fluorescence/luminescence bioimaging, utilizing rare-earth doped nanocrystals (RENCs) within the NIR-IIb (1500–1700 nm) sub-window, has drawn interest for its deep penetration depth and superior resolution. Herein, Er 3+ /Yb 3+ couple is rationally designed in topologically arranged RENCs that facilitate a boosted 1530 nm emission of Er 3+ via premeditated Yb 3+ -mediated energy transfer processes under 808 nm excitation. To maximize this modulation effect for boosting 1530 nm emission, a regional active ions concentration and spatial regulation strategy is explored in the optimized concentration and core–shell–shell structure (NaErF 4 :20%Yb@NaYbF 4 :20%Er@NaYF 4 with a quantum yield of 16.46% in NIR-IIb region). Leveraging the superior emission and multi-wavelength excitation characteristics of the as-obtained nanocrystals, a NIR-IIb-based ratiometric fluorescence imaging measurement is achieved under 808 and 980 nm excitation, which cannot only show the 2D distribution of probes but also provide spatial depth information (range from 0 to 2.8 mm with a tissue depth resolution of 66 µm). The findings hold significant potential for advancing both vascular science and clinical medicine.

Adjacent rare earth separation has always been one of the hardest separation tasks around world. In this article, a task-specific ionic liquid Cyphos IL 104 embedded polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) was fabricated to realize the adsorption and separation of adjacent heavy rare earth elements Lutetium (III) and Ytterbium (III). Chemical composition of the PIM was verified by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. And results confirmed only P O and P–O groups participated in the formation of Rare Earth (III)-Cyphos IL 104 complex. A typical thumb-like asymmetric structure was observed by scanning electron microscopy. And the addition of Cyphos IL 104 promoted the hydrophilicity of the PIM as the water contact angle became smaller. Static adsorption and dynamic transport performances were studied in details to get the optimum separation condition. The permeability coefficients of Yb(III) and Lu(III) were 156 μm s −1 and 114.82 μm s −1 , respectively; And the initial membrane fluxes were 90.17 μm m −2 s −1 and 65.61 μm m −2 s −1 , respectively. The separation factor between Yb(III) and Lu(III) was calculated as 1.37 under the optimized transport condition. All these would provide promising developments of adjacent heavy rare earth separation with an efficient and practical membrane strategy.

Although rare-earth (RE 3+ )-doped negative thermal expansion (NTE) luminescent materials exhibit promising anti-thermal quenching effects, limited progress has been made in modifying their NTE and luminescence performances. This study investigates the impacts of Mo 6+ ion stoichiometry on the crystal structure, NTE behavior, and photoluminescence (PL) thermal response characteristics in Er 3+ , Yb 3+ co-doped Sc 2 Mo 3(1+x) O 12 phosphors (−0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.1). The results reveal that augmenting the Mo 6+ content results in a transition from three-dimensional to two-dimensional NTE behavior in the host material due to the change in steric hindrance. This transition modulates cross-relaxation and back energy transfer processes between the doped Er 3+ and Yb 3+ ions. Consequently, the thermal enhancement factor for the upconversion luminescence of Er 3+ ions decreases with increasing Mo 6+ content, whereas the factor for near-infrared downshifting luminescence increases. Additionally, using the luminescence intensity ratio between the 1550 nm emission of Er 3+ and the 1050 nm emission of Yb 3+ for temperature sensing, a maximum relative sensitivity of 3.97 % K −1 is achieved in Sc 2 Mo 3.21 O 12 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ . These findings provide insights into the synchronous regulation of the NTE and luminescence properties of RE 3+ -doped NTE phosphors for versatile applications.

In this paper, ytterbium doped strontium fluoride (Yb: SrF 2 ) nanoparticles were synthesized by direct precipitation method. High-speed centrifugation was used to separate high sintering activity of nanopowders from powders with hard aggregated and large size. Using powders at different parts of the centrifugal tube as starting powders, Yb: SrF 2 transparent ceramics was fabricated by hot pressed (HP) method for the first time. Effects of morphology and particle size on the sinterability of Yb: SrF 2 nanopowders were investigated. The transmittance reached 77% at the wavelength of 1200 nm and pores stilled remained in the ceramics. The spectroscopic and thermal properties of Yb: SrF 2 transparent ceramics were also investigated. This paper provides an effective way to obtain well dispersed and high sinterability nanoparticles for SrF 2 ceramics sintering.

Transparent hexagonal 2 at.% Yb:Sr 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F ( S -FAP) ceramics were effectively fabricated by hot pressing the coprecipitated powder employing LiF as the sintering additive. The effects of LiF doping levels (0–0.5 wt%) and sintering temperature (820–940 °C) on microstructural development and optical characteristics of samples were examined. The results showed that the addition of LiF and the evaluated sintering temperature accelerated the grain development and densification process of Yb:S-FAP ceramics. Also, the full densification process of low-doped LiF ceramic samples was found to be strongly dependent on the reduced sintering temperature. For the Yb:S-FAP transparent ceramic sintered at the lowest temperature of 850 °C than previously reported with 0.1 wt% LiF, which have an optical in-line transmittance of 59.7% and 79.66% at 500 and 1100 nm respectively. The corresponding scattering sources of ceramic samples were analyzed by the surface SEM of different magnification at different LiF doping concentrations, and residual LiF, residual porosity, and grain boundary scattering were considered to be the main scattering sources. The spectral results showed that the LiF-doped Yb:S-FAP transparent ceramics had a wide absorption peak at 975 nm with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 15 nm and possessed a fluorescence lifetime of 1.12 ms.

Tunable broadband white upconversion (UC) luminescence has been demonstrated in Yb3+/Tm3+/Mn2+ tri-doped KZnF3 nanocrystals from the excitation of a 976 nm laser diode (LD). The white light is composed of three sharp band peaks at 480, 650 and 700 nm, originating from the UC emissions of Tm3+ ions, and one broad band centered at 585 nm, originating from exchange-coupled Yb3+–Mn2+ dimers. The effects of the concentration, pump power and temperature on the UC luminescence properties of KZnF3:Yb3+,Tm3+,Mn2+ nanocrystals have been investigated. By changing the Mn2+/Tm3+ content ratio, various colors of the UC luminescence can be easily obtained in KZnF3:Yb3+,Tm3+,Mn2+ nanocrystals, which gives these nanocrystals potential applications in the fields of lighting, displays and lasers.
