In this study, TeO 2 :Tm 3+ /Er 3+ /Yb 3+ nanoparticles had been successfully prepared via a hydrothermal process. All the as-prepared TeO 2 :Tm 3+ /Er 3+ /Yb 3+ nanoparticles showed the blue (476 nm), green (525 nm, 545 nm) and red (667 nm) emissions under 980 nm excitation, which were attributed to the 1 G 4 → 3 H 6 (Tm 3+ ), 2 H 11/2 , 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 (Er 3+ ) and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 (Er 3+ ) transitions, respectively. The decay lifetime of blue, green and red emissions were 40 μs, 46 μs and 89 μs, respectively. The combination of blue, green and red emissions resulted in the white luminescence which was intense and visible to the naked eyes. The calculated CIE color coordinates of TeO 2 :Tm 3+ /Er 3+ /Yb 3+ nanoparticles fell well within the white region and changed little with the incident pump power from 1.75 W/cm 2 to 16.13 W/cm 2 , which indicated that the materials may have potential applications in the fields of three dimensional displays, back lighting, white light sources, and so on.

A series of rare-earth ions (Er3+ and Yb3+) Co-doped CaF2 upconversion luminescent nanomaterials have been successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal method using pluronic p123 (p123), pluronic F127 (F127) and sodium citrate as surfactants at 180
°C with different reaction time. The crystallographic phase, size and morphology can be controlled by simply tuning the reaction parameters such as the types of surfactants and the reaction time. It is found that reaction time and surfactant play a key role in forming the nanocrystals
with different morphologies. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy FE-SEM, and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the structure, morphology and upconversion luminescence properties of CaF2:Er3+/Yb3+ upconversion nanomaterials,
respectively. The experimental results indicate that three monodispersive and highly uniform CaF2:Er3+/Yb3+ nanocrystals with mean size of 200 nm, 3 um, and 700 nm have cubic and sphere shapes, respectively. While the possible mechanisms of upconversion luminescence
are analyzed by the diagram of proposed energy transfer mechanisms, the schematic energy level diagrams showing typical upconversion processes for Er3+ also reveals that the as-synthesized CaF2:Er3+/Yb3+ nanomaterials may be in the cubic structure
with space group Fm-3m, in which Ln3+ cations occupy crystal lattice positions with lower point symmetry, leading to a high upconversion efficiency under the excitation of a 980 nm diode laser.

Monodisperse Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ nanoparticles with various dopant concentrations have been synthesized successfully by a homogeneous precipitation method. Their phase structures and surface morphologies have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The diversities of upconversion luminescence spectra and CIE coordinates of prepared samples are investigated in detail at room temperature under 980 nm excitation. Through adjusting the concentrations of Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ and Er 3+ ions, three upconversion emission bands in red, green and blue region could be tunable to achieve the color of interest and near white light emission can be obtained in the tri-doped Y 2 O 3 nanoparticles for a variety of application.

Low phonon tantalate-based phosphors with a layer structure are considered to have excellent upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity, which could be reduced due to the existence of impure phase defects and inappropriate doped rare earth ions. To improve their UCL performance, we have prepared single-phase CaTa4O11:Er3+/Yb3+ samples by a molten salt synthesis (MSS) using KCl as the reaction medium and compared its UCL properties with counterparts made by a conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) in this study. We have demonstrated that the MSS samples have a much higher UCL intensity under 980 nm laser excitation than the SSR ones due to accurate replacement of Ca2+ sites by Er3+/Yb3+ in high-purity single-phase MSS samples. We have further enhanced the green UCL intensity of the MSS samples by 1.57 times via acid picking (AP). Under 980 nm laser excitation at a high powder density of 61.3 W/cm2, the green UCL intensity of the MSS-AP samples can reach 3.72 times that of the SSR-AP samples. For potential luminescence thermometry applications, the maximum absolute sensitivity (SA) of the MSS-AP samples reaches 0.01316 K–1 at 501 K based on the luminescence intensity ratio. This study shows that CaTa4O11:Er3+/Yb3+ phosphors prepared by the MSS method are single-phase samples with excellent pure green UCL as a suitable temperature sensing material.

High sensing sensitivity and accuracy is valuable for optical temperature sensors in practical applications. Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped BaZrO3 ceramics were prepared by the dry pressing method. The upconversion luminescence of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped BaZrO3 ceramics was studied at a temperature range from 300 to 500 K under different pump power. The ratio of non-thermal coupling levels of 4S3/2, 4I9/2→4I15/2 (I546/I875), and 4F9/2, 4I9/2→4I15/2 (I658/I875) show a linear relationship as the temperature increased. The maximum relative sensitivity was estimated to be 1.39% K−1 at 500 K under 90 mW pump power. The result indicated that the BaZrO3:Er3+/Yb3+ ceramic is a promising candidate for high temperature sensing applications.

Er 3+ ions and Yb 3+ ions co-doped indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) phosphors were successfully synthesized by high temperature solid phase method. At 980 nm laser excitation, the phosphor has weak 552 nm green and strong 661 nm red emission bands. And the upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity of red light is significantly stronger than that of green light. They are attributed to the 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 transitions of Er 3+ , respectively. And the optimal sample is In 2 O 3 : 4 % Er 3+ , 10 % Yb 3+ . The appearance of phosphor was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The UCL of phosphor is a two-photon process based on power dependence. In addition, photoluminescence excitation spectra and down-conversion luminescence spectra are used to explain the luminescence mechanism. The temperature sensing property of the phosphor in the temperature range of 348 K–598 K were tested. The sensitivity were obtained by fluorescence intensity ratio ( FIR ). The fit degree of FIR is 0.9936. It achieves a maximum relative sensitivity of 0.73 % K −1 at 348 K and a maximum absolute sensitivity of 0.039 K −1 at 373 K. In 2 O 3 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors with high quality luminescence and excellent sensitivity have important application value in non-contact temperature measurement.

In this paper, K 3 ScF 6 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ up-conversion luminescent materials with cryolite structure were synthesized via solid-state method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) under the excitation of a 980 nm laser with different power density were used to investigate the phase structure, elemental composition , and up-conversion luminescence properties of K 3 ScF 6 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ . The quenching concentrations of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ were confirmed to 0.15 and 0.05 (mol concentration) in this system, respectively. Upon 980 nm excitation, the K 3 ScF 6 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ showed a typical transition of Er 3+ which contains two main bands in the visible region that green and red. According to the fitting result of the pump power dependence of up-conversion intensity, all the green and red up-conversion emission of K 3 ScF 6 :0.05Er 3+ ,0.15 Yb 3+ belong to the two-photon process. To better understand the origin of radiation and energy transfer mechanism of the red and green up-conversion, the possible mechanism and electron transition process were also discussed.

The K + -doped (Na 1− x K x )GdF 4 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ upconversion materials were successfully synthesized by solvothermal method. The doping of K + was testified to have great influences on improving upconversion properties as it directly affects the morphology of the material matrix. In addition, by coating the doped material with a homogeneous shell layer, a newly developed core–shell (Na 0.9 K 0.1 )GdF 4 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ @NaGdF 4 nanomaterials were produced. Surprisingly, its light emission intensity was 2 times of that for the uncoated material, although the crystal structure and the emission color of the nanoparticles did not change. The upconversion mechanism has also been studied, and the results show that there is a two-photon mechanism of (Na 1− x K x )GdF 4 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ . The work provides a new strategy for enhancing the luminescence density of upconversion materials by coating a homogeneous shell after doping.

Optical temperature sensing technology, especially the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) type sensor based on Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped up-conversion (UC) luminescent materials, presents numerous opportunities in the field of temperature detection. Various Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped fluorides and oxides have been explored for the application of temperature sensing. Most of these Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped sensing materials are phosphors, for which the high temperature phase and chemical stability is still challenging. The Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped oxide single crystal is a promising solution to explore temperature sensing materials with practical application ability. In this work, an Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped LaBMoO6 single crystal (LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+) is grown through flux assisted spontaneous crystal growth technology. Compared with the Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped LaBMoO6 polycrystalline samples (LBMO-PC: Er3+, Yb3+), the LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ shows improved UC performance with enhanced light emission and prolonged luminescence lifetime. The UC performance improvement results from the more efficient energy transfer between Yb3+ and Er3+. The energy transfer efficiency from Yb3+ to Er3+ in the LBMO-PC: Er3+, Yb3+ powders sintered at 1000 °C for 15 h is 7.3%, while it is 29.7% in the LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+. The strong UC luminescence of LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ extends the temperature detection range; the luminescence of 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 in LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ is still measurable even when the temperature reaches 570 K. The LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ has a maximum value of relative temperature sensitivity of 1.16% K−1 at 300 K. Finally, an optical fiber type temperature sensor with practical application capability is successfully fabricated by using LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ as the luminescence sensing medium.

L-Ta 2 O 5 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ upconversion phosphors were synthesized by employing the molten salts method with B 2 O 3 as solvent. The optimal doping concentrations of Er 3+ and Yb 3+ are 0.2 and 2.5 mol%, respectively. The green upconversion luminescence (UCL) integral intensity of the acid-pickling sample reached 40% of β-NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ under 980 nm laser excitation. Er 3+ /Yb 3+ may take the sites of Ta 5+ and insert into the interlayers of L-Ta 2 O 5 . Using the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique, the relative temperature sensitivity was obtained to be 0.95 %K −1 at 303 K. L-Ta 2 O 5 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ with outstanding pure green UCL intensity and high-temperature sensitivity can be applied to luminescence display and temperature sensing.

Cryolite is a suitable host for up-conversion luminescent materials due to its low phonon energy and good optical transparency. In this work, a novel up-conversion material K3YF6:Yb3+, Er3+ with a cryolite structure was prepared successfully by a solid state method. The crystal structure, morphology, composition and up-conversion luminescence properties of the as-prepared sample were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence spectrometer in detail. K3YF6:Er3+, Yb3+ has a cryolite structure. Under 980 nm excitation, the as-prepared sample can generate slight green emission at 524 and 546 nm (attributed to 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 transition, 4S3/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3+) and strong red emission at 661 and 672 nm (corresponding to 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 transition, 4I9/2 → 4I15/2 transition of Er3+). All the green and red up-conversion emission of K3YF6:Er3+, Yb3+ transfer and electronic transition process of the red and green light the sample emitted, the possible luminescence mechanism is discussed in this paper.

(Gd 1−x−y Er x Yb y ) 2 Ti 2 O 7 (GTOEY) fibers were synthesized by electrospinning technique and heat-treatment processes, in which nano-scale fibers vested with homogeneous porous morphology, high crystallinity and elevated temperature heat-resistance. Under 977 nm laser excitation, GTOEY nanofibers exhibit effective frequency upconversion (UC) fluorescence, therefore, the violent green and dimmed red UC emissions are identified as two-photon absorption processes, attributing to 2 H 11/2 / 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 radiation transitions of Er 3+ , respectively. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity based on UC emission fluctuation of Er 3+ over a wide temperature range of 303–633 K has been derived. Thereby, having used a 980 nm laser and achieved green UC luminescence of GTOEY fibers centered at 525 and 545 nm, the maximum absolute and relative sensitivity values are obtained to be 0.382% K −1 and 1.12% K −1 , respectively. These significant results demonstrate that the GTOEY nanofibers with distinct porous structure and admirable photothermal sensitivities can be regarded as a promising temperature sensing material used for overheating alarm and safety protection equipment.
