The lanthanide doped NaYF 4 , one of the most efficient upconverting materials, which shows great potential in the applications of future optoelectronic devices. Although there are many progress on the synthesis and performance modulations of upconversion fluorescence single crystal and nanoparticles , it is still a great challenge to fabricate upconverting thin film to compatible with modern planar silicon photoelectronic devices. In this work, patterned NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ thin films were prepared by a well-designed strategy combined with photolithography and electrodeposition at 50 °C. The thickness of NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ thin films could be modulated from 1.6 ± 0.3 to 6.1 ± 0.4 μm by the deposition time. After the further annealing at 300 °C, the NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ thin films present efficient green upconversion fluorescence with fine spectra from 510 to 720 nm, which resulted from the electronic transitions of doped Er 3+ ions . The application of laser direct-writing mask could introduce the desired micropattern of NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ thin films, which show uniform distributed green upconversion fluorescence pixel with fine resolution of about 50 μm. The intense upconversion luminescence pattern with high spatial resolution show great application potential in the fields of displays, photodetectors , biological sensors, solar energy converter and commercial anticounterfeiting.

The iron ion in industrial circulating cooling water is an important indicator for early warning of equipment corrosion and control level. It is interesting to construct an upconversion luminescence iron ion nanoprobe with a common inorganic phosphate water treatment agent. Herein, inorganic phosphate sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was used to regulate the morphology and functionalization of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ upconversion luminescent nanoprobe (UCNPs) and applied to fluorometric detection of trace Fe(III) in water based on the fluorescence quenching which is caused by the selective coordination between hexametaphosphate on the surface of UCNPs and Fe(III). The structure, morphology, and luminous intensity of UCNPs were regulated by disodium hydrogen phosphate (ADSP), sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP). The UCNPs functionalized with SHMP has high sensitivity and selectivity for Fe(III) detection. The linear range and detection limit are 1.0–50 μM and 0.2 μM, respectively. The method has satisfactory results for the detection of trace Fe(III) in industrial circulating cooling water.

Enhancing upconversion luminescence in rare-earth materials through the plasmonic effects of precious metals has emerged as a highly effective strategy. In this study, we explore three distinct self-assembly techniques to fabricate alloy nano-film substrates using silver-coated gold (Au@Ag) core-shell nanoparticles, each with unique structural attributes. To enhance the upconversion luminescence of Er 3+ ions, we combine these substrates with NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles, creating NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Au@Ag composite nanostructures. The upconversion emission of Er 3+ ions is observably boosted when directly combined with Au@Ag nano-films of various structures under a 980 nm laser excitation. Surprisingly, incorporating a NaYF 4 inert shell as an isolating layer results in a remarkable 13.7-fold enhancement of upconversion luminescence in the NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ @NaYF 4 /Au@Ag composite structure relative to isolated NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles. The enhancement mechanism was carefully discussed based on spectral characteristics and luminous lifetime. It was found that the enhanced upconversion emission of nanoparticles on differently structured substrates is primarily driven by excitation enhancement. The composite rare-earth and metal nanoparticle structures fabricated in this investigation not only effectively enhance material spectral properties effectively but also streamline the process by employing an inert NaYF 4 shell as an isolation layer. This novel approach offers a promising avenue for developing efficient luminescent material systems.

A simple sol-gel method was used to synthesize a hybrid nanostructure which can achieve the switching of dual-modal luminescence of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @CuInS 2 /ZnS. With 980 nm excitation, the nanoparticles exhibit red emissions, and exhibit green-yellow to red emissions under 365 nm excitation. It is noticed that the CuInS 2 /ZnS acts as a sub-energy level to mediate energy transfer between the rare earth ions of the NaYF 4 and CuInS 2 /ZnS QDs. We found that the dual-modal luminescent properties of the synthesized hybrid nanomaterials can be potentially applied in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

The internal modification with rare earth ion doping proved to be a very effective strategy for improving the luminescent properties of NaYF 4 -based upconversion materials. However, greatly enhancing the luminescence efficiency of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ remains a major challenge. Herein, the effects of Sn 4+ doping on the structure and luminescent performance of such material were explored. The hydrothermal molten-salt method was applied to synthesize the Sn 4+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ upconversion materials, and their crystal structures, morphologies, surface chemical composition and element states, and luminescence performance were characterized. It was found that Sn 4+ doping can significantly enhance the luminescence intensity and tailor the chromaticity of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ . In particular, the green (G) and red (R) luminescence intensity levels of the 30 mol% Sn 4+ doped material were increased by factors of 26.97 and 38.91, respectively. The R/G ratio was incremented from 0.34 for the undoped material to 0.83 for the 40 mol% Sn 4+ doped counterpart. The Sn 4+ doping led to the change of lattice distortion and crystal growth pattern of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ . The mechanism for Sn 4+ doping to affect the luminescence properties of the prepared upconversion material was also explored. The changes in luminescence intensity levels and R/G ratios could be attributed to the highly asymmetric distorted lattice and crystal field resulting from Sn 4+ doping.

In this work, an anticancer drug delivery system based on curcumin-conjugated NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticles was developed. The as-prepared nanoconstruct consisting of uniform hexagonal nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 200 nm was synthesized.
A natural photosensitizer curcumin was loaded onto the nanoparticles through covalent interaction and physical adsorption. Drug loading efficiency was calculated and it turns out a high loading capacity of the as-prepared nanoparticles. Cytotoxity experiments of carboxylic acid-functionalized
UCNPs and curcumin-UCNPs were performed via MTT assay. The drug delivery system demonstrates the ability to be uptaken by three different kinds of cell lines (Human hepatocellular carcinoma Bel-7402 cells, Human SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells and Human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells) and to
generate reactive oxygen species upon the excitation of near-infrared light, so as to kill tumor cells. To sum up, such a drug delivery system exhibits good potential in cancer therapy.

Upconversion emission intensity and morphology are both important features of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ microcrystals. In this paper, myristic acid (MA) is selected as a novel stabilizing ligand to synthesize NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ through a facile hydrothermal method. Upconversion fluorescence spectra indicate that the emission intensity of product prepared with MA as ligand has increased dramatically compared with the sample prepared using commonly used oleic acid (OA) as ligand. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) results display that the morphology of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ obtained using MA as ligand can be tuned from nanodisk, nanorod to nanotube. Especially, nanotube with clear caves can be prepared directly with proper concentration of base (NaOH). And powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals a relationship between the phase transformation process and the amount of NaOH. With increasing the amount of NaOH, the transition process of cubic phase to hexagonal phase is accelerated. The effect of F − and OH − on the fluorescence properties of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ are studied systematically. A gradual increase of the amount of NaF results in a regular increase of the emission intensity. On the contrary, the emission intensity decreases with increasing the amount of NaOH. In addition, reasonable explanations of the influence of F − and OH − on emission intensity are given as well.

The Sc 3+ ions doped NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ upconversion (UC) nanoparticles are synthesized by thermal decomposition method. We successfully obtained the upconversion luminescence (UCL) nanoparticles from green emission to red emission through doping Sc 3+ ions with different concentrations. Based on the XRD, the phase change process of Sc 3+ ions doped NaYF 4 nanocrystalline phase were demonstrated. More importantly, through the analysis of UC spectrum data, the change in the phase of the NaY/ScF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanocrystalline corresponds to the change in its luminous properties. It determines that the change of crystal field will lead to the change of luminescence, and then modulate the luminescence. NaScF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ UC nanoparticles exhibit strong red light emission. In addition, the temperature-sensitive properties of the optimal doping concentration of Sc 3+ ion were tested. The sensitivity of NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanoparticles doped with Sc 3+ ion reached the maximum value of 0.024 K − 1 at 498 K. The nanocrystalline has great application value in the fields of optical temperature measurement, biomedicine, bioprobes and colorful display.

Due to the unique size effects, nanomaterials in infrared absorption have attracted much attention for their strong absorption in the infrared region. To achieve the infrared multi-band absorption, we propose to synthesize a core-shell structure nanomaterial consisting of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ core and a layer of SiO 2 as shell. A series of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanocrystals were synthesized through hydrothermal method by adjusting the ratio of citric acid(CA)-to-NaOH, and the effects of CA concentration, and NaOH concentration were studied in detail. NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ @SiO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method using TEOS as silica source. The results show that the core-shell NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ @SiO 2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized. Up-conversion spectra of these nanoparticles were recorded with 980 nm laser excitation under room temperature. There are no changes of the emission centers of nanoparticles before or after silica coating, but the emission intensities of nanoparticles after silica coating are weakened. Furthermore, the property of infrared multi-band absorption was tested through ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectrophotometer and infrared absorption spectra. The results illustrate that the multi-band infrared absorption nanomaterial was successfully synthesized.

β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals embedded transparent glass ceramic has been successfully fabricated by direct incorporation of hydrophilic upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into sol-gel silica glass and subsequent heat treatment. The temperature-sensitive upconversion luminescent behaviors of the as-fabricated UCNPs-silica glass ceramic are systemically investigated in order to investigate its potential application as luminescent thermometric medium. Impressively, benefiting from low-phonon-energy environment, highly UC emission for erbium ions in β-NaYF 4 nanophase and high transparency, good chemical/mechanical stability of the oxide glass matrix, the investigated glass ceramic has superiorities of high relative temperature sensitivity (~ 1.16% K −1 ) and excellent thermal stability for accurate temperature sensing. This preliminary study not only provides a reference for fabricating other transparent bulk glass ceramics containing highly luminescent nanomaterials , but also exploits an effective approach for developing high-performance luminescent thermometers.

In this work, the monodisperse spherical pure β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ core NCs with average size of 7.2 nm were synthesized by using NaOA as sodium source instead of the conventional NaOH, based on which the sub-20 nm β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @NaGdF 4 core-shell NCs with magnetic-optical bifunctional properties were successfully obtained with seed-mediated growth method. The magnetization of the core-shell NCs enhanced proportionally with increased shell thickness, and the maximum upconversion intensity was three orders of magnitude increased in the 18.3 nm NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @NaGdF 4 core-shell NCs compare with the corresponding core NCs. Besides, the upconversion mechanism for the core and core-shell NCs were discussed. This work may lead to an ideal platform for the preparation of sub-20 nm spherical NCs with magnetic and optical properties for application in biomedical imaging and drug delivery.

Taking advantage of the unique optical properties of upconversion nanoparticles (NP) and the feasibly modified nature of SiO2, NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2 core@shell (UCNP@SiO2) NPs with excellent morphology have been synthesized to investigate the surface charge effect on the interactions of NPs with cells. The cellular uptake behaviors, cytotoxicities and intracellular metal ion release of the as-prepared NPs have been investigated in two cell lines (HeLa and HepG-2) by fluorescence microscopy, MTT assay and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. It is found that the UCNP@SiO2 NPs with positive surface charge have much higher cell internalization ability and cytotoxicity than those with negative surface charge. The experimental results also demonstrate that the cytotoxicity of UCNP@SiO2 NP is closely related to the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and metal ion release of internalized NPs.
