To extend the activities of TiO 2 to the near infrared (NIR) region and to separate and recycle photocatalysts easily is vital for the high harvest of solar energy for sustainable society. The magnetic NIR activated Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ /TiO 2 (FS/UC/T) composites have been synthesized by using the solvothermal method by adding Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 and Degussa P25 into the mixed solution of NaOH, ethanol, oleic acid, Re(NO 3 ) 3 and NH 4 F. Moreover, the obtained composites were explored for photocatalytic applications. It was found that FS/UC/T emit UV–vis light under irradiation of 980 nm laser and efficient energy transfer from β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ to TiO 2 was verified. The photodegradation experiments for treating methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) and colorless phenol were carried out to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of the samples. The photodegradation rates reach 76.62%, 68.48%, 30.05% and 27.16% for MB, RhB, MO and phenol under irradiation of 980 nm laser, respectively, which suggested magnetic FS/UC/T composite is an advanced NIR-driven photocatalyst. Moreover, the magnetic photocatalyst showed easy separation and good stability in the recycled tests. It suggested a promising system to utilize the NIR energy for photocatalysis based on TiO 2 and to utilize the magnetic for separation of photocatalysts, which will contribute to practical environmental remediation in the future.

The effects of substitution of BaF2 for BaO on physical properties and 1. 8 μm emission have been systematically investigated to improve spectroscopic properties in Tm3+ doped gallium tellurite glasses for efficient 2.0 μm fiber laser. It is found that refractive index and density gradually decrease with increasing BaF2 content from 0 to 9 mol.%, due to the generation of more non-bridging oxygens. Furthermore, OH− absorption coefficient (αOH) reduces monotonically from 3.4 to 2.2 cm−1 and thus emission intensity near 1.8 μm in gallium tellurite glass with 9 mol.% BaF2 is 1.6 times as large as that without BaF2 while the lifetime becomes 1.7 times as long as the one without BaF2. Relative energy transfer mechanism is proposed. The maximum emission cross section and gain coefficient at around 1.8 μm of gallium tellurite glass containing 9 mol.% BaF2 are 8.8 × 10−21 cm2 and 3.3 cm−1, respectively. These results indicate that Tm3+ doped gallium tellurite glasses containing BaF2 appear to be an excellent host material for efficient 2.0 μm fiber laser development.

White LEDs are environmentally friendly light sources that have received extensive attention. The combination of an ultraviolet chip and three-color phosphors is the main method used to obtain white LED devices. The primary issues include the decrease in luminescent intensity and lifetime, the reduction in output power of the LED device, and the color shift of the phosphor in high-temperature environments caused by high operating currents and prolonged working times. In this work, bright single-phase full-spectrum white Tm3+ and Dy3+ Y2Zr2O7 (YZO) nanotubes with high thermal stability and ultralow color drift were prepared by electrospinning technique at 1300 °C. The color coordinates (0.3308, 0.332) of YZO: 2%Tm3+/2%Dy3+ nanotubes are very close to standard white light (0.33, 0.33). The luminescent properties of YZO:Tm3+/Dy3+ nanotubes were investigated and compared with those of YZO:Tm3+/Dy3+ powders prepared via a solid-state reaction at 1300 °C. At high temperatures, YZO:Tm3+/Dy3+ nanotubes exhibit better thermal quenching resistance than YZO:Tm3+/Dy3+ powders do because of their unique tubular structure. YZO:2%Tm/1%Dy nanotubes maintain 91.23% of their initial emission intensity at 453 K compared to 303 K, whereas the emission intensity of YZO:2%Tm/1%Dy powders remains at 90.42% at 453 K compared to that at room temperature. YZO: 2%Tm/1%Dy nanotubes have an ultralow color drift of 0.16% at 453 K, whereas that of YZO: 2%Tm/1%Dy powders reaches 0.9% at the same temperature.

Nd 3+ -doped NaGdF 4 : Yb, Tm nanocrystals were synthesized by an improved high-temperature thermal decomposition method, and the effects of doping concentrations on the crystal structure, phase composition, and upconverted fluorescence intensity were also investigated. The results reveal that the introduction of Nd 3+ ions does not cause the transformation of the crystal phase, but induce the change of the unit cell parameters. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of the synthesized nanocrystals when co-doped with 3 mol% Nd 3+ is the strongest under the excitation of 980 nm laser, which is 3.9 times that of the Nd 3+ -free doped nanoparticles, and the average size is 62.9 nm. And it is located in the blue area of the CIE coordinate diagram, and the corresponding color purity is 91.81% under the same experimental conditions. The resulting nanocrystals show the potential as excellent fluorescence labeling and in vivo imaging probes.

A novel near-infrared (NIR)-responsive photocatalyst, β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@ZnO composites, was prepared by a two-step high temperature thermolysis method. In the NIR-responsive photocatalysis, β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm served as a NIR-to-UV upconverter and provided “UV light” or “necessary energy” to the ZnO catalyst. The energy transfer in the composites and the mixtures of β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm and ZnO was studied by using steady-state and dynamic fluorescence spectroscopy. The NIR photocatalytic activities were investigated by the decomposition of Rhodamine B. It was found that the energy transfer processes dominated the overall photocatalytic activities, and the generation of hydroxyl radicals was the origin of organic pollutant decomposition under NIR irradiation.

The crystal structure and up-conversion luminescence properties of Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ co-doped K 3 ScF 6 were investigated in detail. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), elemental mapping and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the elements composition , elemental distribution and valence states of samples. Under an excitation wavelength at 980 nm, all the samples displayed blue and red emission. When gradually increasing the concentration of Tm 3+ in K 3 ScF 6 :0.2 Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ in K 3 ScF 6 : 0.01 Tm 3+ , Yb 3+ , the emission intensity of the samples appeared obviously concentration quenching effect, and the optimum concentration of Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ were confirmed to 0.01 and 0.20 mol%. Additionally, the effect of pump power on up-conversion emission intensity and the energy transfer mechanism between the Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ in these samples were analyzed in detail.

The core–shell NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+@NaYF4:Yb3+ upconversion nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a solvothermal method, and a layer of mesoporous silica (mSiO2) was successfully coated on the periphery of the core–shell nanoparticles to transform their surface from lipophilic to hydrophilic, further expanding their applications in biological tissues. The physical phase, morphology, structure, and fluorescence properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ζ potential analysis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. It was found that the material has a hexagonal structure with good hydrophilicity and emits intense fluorescence under 980 nm pump laser excitation. The non-contact temperature sensing performance of nanoparticles was evaluated by analyzing the upconversion fluorescence of Tm3+ (1G4 → 3F4 and 3F3 → 3H6) in the temperature range of 284–344 K. The absolute and relative sensitivities were found to be 0.0067 K–1 and 1.08 % K–1, respectively, with high-temperature measurement reliability and good temperature cycling performance. More importantly, its temperature measurement in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution is accurate. In addition, the temperature of the cells can be increased by adjusting the laser power density and laser irradiation time. Therefore, an optical temperature sensing platform was built to realize the application of real-time monitoring of cancer cell temperature and the dual function of photothermal therapy.

(Y 0.87 La 0.1 Zr 0.03 ) 2 O 3 nanopowders doped with various concentrations of Tm 3+ and Ho 3+ were prepared by the citrate method. The standard cubic Y 2 O 3 phase can be matched in the Tm 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped (Y 0.87 La 0.1 Zr 0.03 ) 2 O 3 nanopowders. The nanopowders exhibit average particle sizes of 40, 60, 80 and 100 nm after calcinated at 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C, respectively. The energy transfer from Tm 3+ to Ho 3+ and the optimum fluorescence emission around 2 μm were investigated. Results indicate that the emission bands at around 1.86 and 1.95 μm correspond to 3 F 4 → 3 H 6 transition of Tm 3+ and 5 I 7 → 5 I 8 transition of Ho 3+ , respectively. Better spectral properties were achieved in Tm 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped (Y 0.87 La 0.1 Zr 0.03 ) 2 O 3 nanopowders with the average size of 100 nm obtained at the conditions of the treatment of precursors calcinated at 1200 °C for 2 h doped with 1.5 mol% Tm 3+ and 1 mol% Ho 3+ .

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is one of the main toxic water pollution substances. Most 4-NP fluorescence detection methods are based on the change in the fluorescence intensity of a single emission peak, which has low sensitivity, accuracy, and narrow analytical ranges. Herein, NaYF4:Yb3+(58%),Tm3+@NaYF4@Au were designed and synthesized for the quantitative detection of 4-NP due to the fluorescence intensity ratio of two upconversion emission peaks, the analytical range is 0.01–100 μg mL−1 and the detection limit is 0.01 μg mL−1. In addition, 1.66 nm Au nanoparticles randomly distributed on the surface of composite nanomaterials can effectively cause the catalytic reduction of 4-NP. Therefore, NaYF4:Yb3+(58%),Tm3+@NaYF4@Au is a type of composite nanomaterial with great development potential and application prospects in the detection and catalysis of 4-NP.

To enhance photocatalytic activity spectra area of the TiO 2 based photocatalyst, and to separate and recycle photocatalyst easily, magnetic photocatalyst was prepared with β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ , TiO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 as carriers, and tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursor. The magnetic infrared responsive photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, a fluorescence spectrometer and UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. They showed that the composite of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ /TiO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 (UCTFS) emits visible luminescence upon 980 nm excitation, and energy transfer from β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ to TiO 2 was verified. The photocatalytic activities of the UCTFS were studied by orthogonal experiments for photodegradating methylene blue (MB). The degradation rate of MB can reach 86.69% under the optimal conditions. After the four recycles, the degradation rate remained 52.72%. It also showed that 50.27% of the degradation efficiency of phenol can be obtained under the same experimental parameters. These results suggest that magnetic UCTFS composite is stable and a magnetic NIR-driven photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants. Moreover, the NIR driven photocatalytic mechanism of this reported composite was proposed. The strategy suggested here may be indicated for the effective fabrication of magnetic NIR-driven photocatalyst for application in the water purification by full spectra of solar energy.

Novel flower-like α-NaYb(Mn)F4:Er3+/Tm3+@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as luminescent nanothermometers have been developed by combining liquid–solid solution hydrothermal strategy with thermal decomposition strategy. Under 980 nm excitation, they exhibit intense upconversion luminescence and temperature-dependent upconversion luminescence over a wide temperature range. The influence of temperature on “band-shape” upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra and the intensity of emission bands are analyzed and discussed in detail. We further successfully test and verify that intensity ratios REr of 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 and 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and RTm of 1G4 → 3H5 and 3H4 → 3H6 are sensitive to temperature, and the population of active ions follows Boltzmann-type population distribution very well. These luminescent nanothermometers could be applied over a wide temperature range from 123 to 423 K with high sensitivity, which enable them to be excellent candidates for temperature sensors.

With the excitation of a 978 nm laser, upconversion emission of the NaMgF 3 : Tm 3+ , Yb 3+ , Mn 2+ submicron particles include two red emission bands located at 648 and 698 nm and a green emission at about 510 nm in the visible range. The experimental results confirm that the Mn 2+ ions play the key role in the emission modulation between the 648 nm and 698 nm. The incident laser power dependence confirms that the emission at 648 nm is completely different from the emissions at 698 nm, and more than 3 photons are involved in the emission at 648 nm. With the doping of Mn 2+ ions, the intensity ratio R 1 / R 2 of the emission at 648 nm and 698 nm increases first, and decreases for the Mn 2+ concentration larger than 2%. The incident laser power and laser pulse-width also have evident modulation effect of the UC emissions. All the Mn 2+ related phenomena are due to the energy transfer paths ET5 and ET6 between the Tm 3+ and Mn 2+ ions. Graphical abstract
