Upconverting materials excited by near-infrared light are getting attention due to their biological applications in cancer treatment. Er 3+ , Yb 3+ and Nd 3+ tri-doped LiLn(WO 4 ) 2 (Ln = Y/La/Gd) phosphors were synthesized via the typical solid-state method. LiGd(WO 4 ) 2 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ , Nd 3+ (LGW) phosphors exhibit the most intense green emission under 785 nm excitation among the three doped host materials, which is ascribed to their lowest phonon density and the strong absorption properties. Nd 3+ and Yb 3+ concentration effect on its luminescent properties and the energy transfer of Nd 3+ →Yb 3+ →Er 3+ under 785 nm excitation are discussed. The ratio of integrated intensity from the 4 S 3/2 / 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 transition of Er 3+ is characteristic of the optical temperature sensing based on fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR). LGW shows high absolute sensitivity about 0.0070 K −1 at 439 K and broad temperature sensing ranging from 200 K to 600 K under the excitation of 785 nm compared with systems doped with Er 3+ . Our significant results predicate the potential applications of this lanthanum-doped tungstate in optical thermometers.

Mn2+ ions-activated phosphors play a crucial role in modern lighting and display due to their typical tunable single-band visible (VIS) emission characteristics. Herein, besides the conventional VIS emission, a near-infrared (NIR) emission centered at ∼780 nm is presented in heavy Mn2+-doped fluoride RbZnF3:Yb3+,Mn2+ designed by the dopant-distribution prediction simulation. On varying the dopant (Mn2+) concentration, the single-band VIS emission to VIS/NIR dual emission and then to pure NIR photon upconversion (UC) emission was achieved in RbZnF3:Yb3+,Mn2+. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations, static and dynamic luminescence analysis, as well as the extended-X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) characterization strongly confirmed that the NIR emission of the Mn2+ was from the Mn2+–Mn2+ dimer induced by Mn2+ ions aggregation in RbZnF3. Further, a ground-state absorption (GSA)/excited state absorption (ESA) NIR UC luminescence mechanism based on the Yb3+–Mn2+–Mn2+ trimer model is proposed. This work provides a new strategy for realizing single-band NIR photon UC emission, and also provides new insights into the rational design of the Mn2+ VIS/NIR emission via dopant-distribution prediction.

YVO 4 :Yb 3+ :Er 3+ nanoparticles and their mixture with Au nanoparticles have been fabricated by a simple chemical method. With the excitation of a 975-nm laser, both samples had strong upconversion emissions at 2.18, 2.25, and 2.36 eV, which correspond to the transitions 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 , 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 of Er 3+ ions, while the emission at 2.36 eV has a large overlap with the resonant absorption energy, 2.34 eV, of the Au nanoparticles. With the coupling of the Au nanoparticles, the upconversion emission at 2.36 eV presents a strong quenching effect which is due to the energy transfer from the Er 3+ ions to the Au nanoparticles. This depends on the energy difference between the emission of the Er 3+ ions and the absorption of the Au nanoparticles. The upconversion power dependence shows that the slope factor of the power dependence is about 3 for a high pump power, which means that the upconversion process is a three-photon process for both samples.

In this paper, a novel cryolite-type up-conversion luminescent material K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ with controllable crystal form was synthesized by a high temperature solid state method. K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ can crystallize in monoclinic or cubic form at different temperatures. The composition, structure and up-conversion luminescence (UCL) properties of K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ samples with different crystal form were investigated in detail. It is impressive that both monoclinic and cubic forms of K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ show green emission (2H11/2/4S3/2→4I15/2). The luminescence intensity of cubic K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6 is much higher than that of the monoclinic form, and the reasons are also discussed in detail. The results show that the luminescence intensity of up-conversion materials can be effectively tuned by controlling the crystal form. According to the power dependent UCL intensity, the UCL mechanism and electronic transition process were discussed. In addition, the fluorescence decay curves were characterized and the thermal coupling levels (TCLs) of Er3+ (2H11/2/4S3/2 → 4I15/2) in the range of 304–574 k were used to study the optical temperature sensing characteristics. All the results show that K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ can be used in electronic components and have potential application value in temperature sensing fields.

Harnessing the color tuning capability of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is of great significance in the field of advanced bioimaging and color display. Here, we report the tunable size and upconversion luminescence (UCL) multicolor in CaF2:Yb3+/Ho3+/Ce3+ UCNPs, which were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. It was found that the size of these UCNPs could be controlled (from 600 to 30 nm) by varying the concentration of Ce3+ ions. Under the excitation of a 980 nm continuous-wave (CW) laser, the UCL color of these UCNPs can be tuned from green to red as the doped Ce3+ ions gradually increase from 0 to 10 mol% and the red-to-green (R/G) ratio is enhanced remarkably. It is suggested that the cross-relaxation (CR) processes between Ho3+ and Ce3+ ions contribute to the tunable multicolor and enhancement of the R/G ratio. The mechanism of these processes is well supported by the time-resolved decay and near infrared (NIR) emission measurements.

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.

In this paper, a novel upconversion phosphor is reported. Based on XRD and EDS, it is confirmed that the phosphor is monoclinic Gd2Mo4O15:Yb3+, Ho3+ with P21/c space group. The non-radiation decay of 5I6 to 5I7 dominants the depopulation of 5I6, thus the phosphor produces the red upconversion emission with high emission intensity and good color quality, and shows the favorable temperature sensing property. When using non-continuous excitation mode, the temperature sensitivity is determined as 0.0452 K−1. Because the sensitivity is the same at any temperature, the new upconversion material may have greater potential for temperature sensing application than Er3+ doped upconverison materials.

In this study, well-defined PAA-coated NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanophosphors were synthesized via a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) mediated hydrothermal process. The rational control of initial reaction conditions, such as hydrothermal temperature, pH value of precursor-solution,
added amount of PAA, and molecular weight of PAA ligand, resulted in upconversion of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors with varying crystal phases (α and β) and morphologies (e.g., nanosphere, submicrorod, microrod, microtube, and microprism).
By assessing the upconversion luminescent properties of the synthesized NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors upon excitation by 980 nm infrared light, it was demonstrated that the β-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors generally
presented stronger upconversion luminescent than α-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors and orthorhombic phase of YF3:Yb3+, Er3+ sample. Additionally, the β-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+
phosphors with hollow microtube morphology presented higher upconversion luminescent intensity than phosphors of other morphologies. This may be due to microtubes having larger surface area (inner and outer surfaces), which promoted the absorption efficiency under similar excitation conditions,
therefore generating higher luminescent intensity. Findings form this study suggest for precisely controlled growth of other complex rare earth fluoride compounds and provide a reference for exploration of component-, phase- and morphology-dependent upconversion luminescence properties.

In this work, water-soluble Yb3+/Er3+ codoped Bi2O3 upconversion (UC) nanospheres with uniform morphology have been successfully synthesized via a solid-state-chemistry thermal decomposition process. With 980 nm near-infrared irradiation, the Bi2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ nanospheres have bright UC luminescence (UCL). Moreover, multicolor UC emissions (from green to red) can be tuned by simply changing the Yb3+ ions doping concentration. After citric acid molecules were grafted on the surface of Bi2O3:20% Yb3+/2% Er3+ nanospheres, the MTT assay on HeLa cells and CCK-8 assay on osteoblasts show that the UC nanospheres exhibit excellent stability and biocompatibility. The possibility of using these nanoprobes with red UCL for optical imaging in vivo has been demonstrated. Furthermore, Bi3+ and Yb3+ containing nanospheres as binary contrast agent also exhibited significant enhancement of contrast efficacy than iodine-based contrast agent via X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging at different voltage setting (80–140 kVp), indicating they have potential as CT imaging contrast agent. Thus, Yb3+/Er3+ codoped Bi2O3 nanospheres could be used as dual modality probe for optical and CT imagings.

A series of Nd3+/Yb3+ co-doped Ca2LaTaO6 (CLTO) phosphors are synthesized by a high temperature solid phase method. Structural characterization confirms the successful incorporation of Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions into the CLTO host lattice. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CLTO:Nd3+ and CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ are investigated in detail. Under the excitation of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light, the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ phosphor emits broadband near infrared (NIR) luminescence. In particular, the luminescence intensity of the Yb3+ ion is increased through an energy transfer (ET) process from Nd3+ to Yb3+. The luminescence mechanism of the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ sample is analyzed based on the decay lifetime and PL spectra. In addition, the NIR emission intensity of Yb3+ ions is also enhanced by doping K+ ions. The broadband luminescence (850–1050 nm) of the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+/K+ phosphor has good application in solar cells and anti-counterfeiting.

Hexagonal Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped LaZrTa 3 O 11 (LZTO) phosphor was prepared by molten salt synthesis with B 2 O 3 flux. Holding temperature, holding time, solute and solvent ratio were regulated. The green upconversion luminescence (UCL) integral intensity of the optimal sample can reach 29.2% of β-NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ under 980 nm laser excitation. This outstanding pure green UCL is due to the low phonon energy, Er 3+ /Yb 3+ monolayer (2D) distribution, asymmetry of Er 3+ /Yb 3+ doped lattice sites, and low oxygen vacancy. The maximum relative temperature sensitivity attains 0.01221 K −1 at 303 K by employing luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique. LZTO:Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphor can be used in temperature sensing.

We developed a facile approach for the fast synthesis of ultrasmall and monodisperse β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanocrystals down to 5.3 nm with the assistant of oleate ligands, based on which the highly bright sub-10 nm β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ @NaYF 4 core-shell nanocrystals with three order of magnitude increased upconversion emission were successfully obtained by a seed-mediated growth method. The reaction time and temperature dependent experimental results implied that the introduciton of extra oleate ligands can both promote the α-to-β phase transition and impeded the crystal growth of NaYF 4 , which is due to the oleate ligand induced orderly arrangement of Y 3+ and capping effect, respectively. It is expected that the oleate ligands mediated phase transition and size evaluation, demonstrated here in NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ NCs, is also applicable to other lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals.
