A new up-conversion nanomaterial of Ho 3+ -Yb 3+ -Mg 2+ tri-doped TiO 2 (UC-Mg-TiO 2 ) was designed and synthesized with a sol-gel method. The UC-Mg-TiO 2 presented enhanced up-conversion fluorescence by an addition of Mg 2+ . The UC-Mg-TiO 2 was utilized to fabricate perovskite solar cells by forming a thin layer on the electron transfer layer. The results display that the power conversion efficiency of the solar cells based on the electron transfer layer with UC-Mg-TiO 2 is improved to 16.3 from 15.2% for those without UC-Mg-TiO 2 . It is demonstrated that the synthesized UC-Mg-TiO 2 can convert the near-infrared light to visible light that perovskite film can absorb to improve the power conversion efficiency of the devices.

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are widely used as energy donors via a luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) technique in biosensing field. To enhance LRET efficiency and afford an improved sensitivity for Cu 2+ detection, sandwich structured NaYF 4 @NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 UCNPs have been designed and prepared. For the core-internal shell-external shell structure, luminescence ions (Er 3+ ) are located in the internal shell near the nanoparticle surface, which is close enough to energy acceptors outside. To study the sensing properties, the UCNPs are used as energy donors and rhodamine B hydrazide (RBH) as energy acceptors to construct the nanoprobes. It is found that the sandwich structured nanoparticles gains more intense luminescence than the naked NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs, which is beneficial to the further improvement of signal sensitivity in biological detection. Moreover, the specificity for detecting Cu 2+ is also checked and found that the designed probe is much more sensitive to Cu 2+ than the other ions including K + , Na + , Li + , Ca 2+ , Ba 2+ , Mg 2+ , Zn 2+ and Sr 2+ . The experiment on the stability of UCNPs-RBH probe and RBH shows the 980 nm laser produces less photodamage to RBH than that of visible light. Therefore, the UCNPs can be used to construct potential probes for realizing effective detection of Cu 2+ .

Up-conversion materials can be applied in anti-counterfeit fields because of their high concealment and high up-conversion fluorescence efficiency. Herein, different lanthanide ions-doped β-NaYF4 up-conversion micro-particles (UCMPs) with uniform hexagonal morphology were synthesized on a large-scale (more than 0.5 g) via a facile hydrothermal method. It is very interesting to find out the fluorescence intensity and the eventual morphology of the UCMPs were highly dependent on the reaction conditions. Then, the optimal UCMPs with uniform morphology and strong fluorescence intensity were selected as promising candidates for preparing ink. Eventually, we successfully printed designable and multicolor fluorescent patterns on flexible substrates (common paper and polyethylene terephthalate, PET) using the as-prepared β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+/Er3+/Eu3+ UCMPs inks. Under ambient conditions, the printed patterns on conventional paper are invisible, while such printed patterns on PET are white. However, all the patterns could display blue, yellow-green and green fluorescence patterns under the irradiation of a 980 nm laser when using the β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+/Er3+/Eu3+ UCMPs inks. We envision that the UCMPs fluorescent inks-based flexible and rapid screen printing patterns have enormous potential for anti-counterfeit and security applications.

Even though various strategies have reported for DNA detection, development of a simple, time-saving and specific fluorescent sensing platform still remains a desired goal. In this work, a quantum dots (QDs) based fluorescent reversible “off–on” mode was developed for sensitively recognition of herring sperm DNA (hsDNA). Firstly, in the “turn off” stage, the fluorescence of glutathione (GSH) capped CdTe QDs could be effectively quenched by ytterbium ion (Yb 3+ ) was due to the occurrence of the electron transfer between Yb 3+ and the photoexcited QDs. And then, in the following “turn on” stage, with the effective binding reaction of Yb 3+ to hsDNA, the fluorescence intensity of GSH-capped CdTe QDs enhanced. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of fluorescence versus the concentration of hsDNA was 0.010–12 μg/mL, and the detection limit was 3.033 ng/mL. In addition, the reaction mechanism among GSH-capped CdTe QDs, Yb 3+ and hsDNA were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV–vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence lifetime measurement and viscosity measurements. This analytical fluorescent reversible “off–on” pattern offered a way with good sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of hsDNA.

F 4 nanocrystals, morphology of the nanoparticles is dependent on the molar ratio of the chelating agent (e.g., trisodium citrate) to the lanthanide ions. Usually, addition of chelating agent is reported to be effective only when the molar ratio is below a critical value usually around 1 for the preparation of Er 3+ - and Yb 3+ -doped NaYF 4 nanocrystals. In this work, we found that, by increasing the Yb 3+ concentration, the critical molar ratio can be up to more than 4 in the preparation of Er 3+ -doped NaGd 1− x

In addition, upconversion luminescence properties of the powdery samples were studied, which is shown to be dependent both on size of the nanoparticles and on dosage of the trisodium citrate.

As display technologies progress towards enhanced visual performance, there was a growing demand for color conversion materials to meet increasingly stringent performance requirements. In recent years, all-inorganic perovskite CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) had gained attention in the field of wide color gamut backlight displays due to their tunable full spectrum, narrow-band emission, high color purity, and ease of processing. However, red-emitting perovskite NCs were still facing challenges with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and stability. In this study, Yb 3+ doped CsPbBr 1 I 2 perovskite nanocrystal glass (Yb 3+ @CsPbBr 1 I 2 PNG) was synthesized using a melt-quenching technique. Samples emitting at a narrow band centered at 630 nm, with a full width at half maximum(FWHM) of 31.8 nm, exhibited a high PLQY of 80.36 % and retained fluorescence intensity at 98.2 % of the initial value in water, maintaining to 92.6 % after continuous blue light irradiation for 60 days. Moreover, the optical conversion film Yb 3+ @CsPbBr 1 I 2 @CsPbBr 3 @PET developed in our study showcased color gamut coverage surpassing 132.9 % of the NTSC 1953 standard and 98.8 % of the Rec.2020 standard. In summary, the highly efficient and remarkably stable red-emitting Yb 3+ @CsPbBr 1 I 2 PNG composite material introduced in this study paved the way for future advancements in wide color gamut and ultra-high definition backlight display technologies.

Constructing heterojunction photocatalysts that can make additional utilization of near-infrared (NIR) light has been a global scientific problem and has gained widespread research interest. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) collaborate with semiconductors to construct UCNPs-based photocatalysts that are used to improve solar energy utilization. In this work, the as-prepared UCNPs-based photocatalysts consisting of NaGdF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ (NGFYE) and bismuth oxyiodide (BOI) are synthesized by chemical epitaxial growth method and in-situ calcination process. The crystalline phase , morphology, optical and electrochemical properties of NGFYE@BOI samples are investigated in detail. Besides, Bi 4 O 5 I 2 /Bi 5 O 7 I Z-type heterojunction is confirmed by EPR test. Moreover, the photocatalytic elimination of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and its photocatalytic mechanism by NGFYE@BOI samples are explored. This work may provide a promising idea for the efficient and controlled synthesis of UCNPs-based photocatalysts, which will contribute to the future utilization of solar energy.

Using nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as the capping agent, β -NaYF 4 upconversion microcrystals (UCMCs) were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal synthesis method. Systematic investigations were conducted to evaluate the influence of NTA/Ln molar ratio, NaF/Ln molar ratio, and pH on the morphology, size, and crystal phase characteristics of the UCMCs. Multiple characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), were employed to elucidate these effects. The experimental findings reveal that these parameters exert a substantial influence on the morphology and size of the UCMCs, with the crystal phase alterations primarily governed by variations in the NaF/Ln molar ratio. Furthermore, a comprehensive exploration of the growth mechanism of UCMCs was undertaken based on the modulation of reaction time. The emission spectra of the synthesized UCMCs were meticulously investigated, unveiling that microcrystals exhibiting larger size and enhanced crystallinity display more pronounced luminescent properties. Comparative analysis with UCMCs synthesized using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium citrate (Na 3 Cit) as capping agents, which are extensively applied in diverse fields, demonstrated the superior luminescence properties of the newly obtained NTA-UCMCs. In addition, NTA-UCMCs were also employed for the fabrication of transparent and flexible fluorescent films. This research thus presents a novel approach for the synthesis of highly luminescent UCMCs, holding promise for various applications in practical contexts.

The development of blue/green/red tricolor upconversion (UC) phosphors under invisible light irradiation has attracted significant interest in emerging applications such as anti-counterfeiting, three-dimensional (3D) optical data storage, and solid-state 3D displays. In this study, a series of LiYO 2 :RE 3+ ,Yb 3+ (RE = Tm, Ho, Eu) phosphors are successfully prepared via first precipitation process followed by calcination, and completely optimized for efficient tricolor UC luminescence with 980 nm laser excitation. Mechanisms involving two- or three-photon absorption processes and low-phonon-energy-suppressed multi-phonon relaxation have been proposed for Ho 3+ (Eu 3+ )/Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ codoping, respectively. In addition, the RE 3+ (Yb 3+ ) concentration-induced phase transition of the LiYO 2 host is discussed for interesting possibilities in spectral regulation. Based on the broad color gamut achieved by the tricolor UC phosphor mixture, homochromatic and polychromatic metamerisms are experimentally fabricated via screen printing for high-level anti-counterfeiting and information security. Moreover, for a proof-of-concept demonstration, prototypes of 3D optical data storage and volumetric displays are constructed by embedding tricolor UC mixtures and their 3D printed patterns in polydimethylsiloxane. It is believed that the continuous exploration of tricolor UC under invisible light excitation for metamerism anti-counterfeiting and 3D displays can promote the development of high-level information security and advanced volumetric display technologies.

This paper reports on microcrystals with deep tissue penetration depth, strong red light emission, and thermometric function. The red light emission of NaLuF 4 :20 % Er 3+ /1 % Tm 3+ /10 % Yb 3+ microcrystals is exceptionally strong, thanks to the introduction of Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ ions energy capture centers. In bioimaging, the 1532 nm laser exhibits deeper imaging depth due to weak photon scattering and autofluorescence. Furthermore, red light emission has the greatest tissue penetration depth in the visible region. The luminescence intensity and tissue penetration depth of both the excitation and emission light make them suitable for deep tissue imaging. We investigated temperature sensing performance of NaLuF 4 :20 % Er 3+ /1 % Tm 3+ /10 % Yb 3+ microcrystals, and found that the maximum relative sensitivity of LIR (I 521 /I 540 ) reaches 0.92 %K −1 . The microcrystals NaLuF 4 :20 % Er 3+ /1 % Tm 3+ /10 % Yb 3+ are anticipated to have application in deep tissue imaging and temperature sensing.

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) have found extensive applications in diverse fields including night vision, medical diagnostics, and plant lighting. However, designing NIR phosphors with large full width at half maximum (FWHM) and high thermal stability remains challenging. In this study, we developed a SrLu 2 Al 3 ScSiO 12 : Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphor (abbreviated as SLASSO: Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ ) through a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The SLASSO: Cr 3+ samples exhibit two broad absorption bands in the blue light region (∼440 nm) and red light region (∼600 nm), confirming their can effective excitation by blue LED chips. Through precise control of the crystal field environment surrounding Cr 3+ ions, the emission spectra of SLASSO: x Cr 3+ phosphors demonstrate tunability from narrow-band to broadband emission, with emission peaks adjustable from 705 nm to 807 nm and FWHM expandable from 88 nm to 185 nm. SLASSO: 2 %Cr 3+ phosphor demonstrates high quantum efficiency (75 %) and excellent thermal stability (95 %@423 K). By designing the energy transfer between Cr 3+ and Yb 3+ , SLASSO: 2 %Cr 3+ , 1 %Yb 3+ phosphors achieved both enhanced luminescence above 1000 nm and zero thermal quenching (103 %@423 K). A prototype NIR pc-LED device demonstrated remarkable performance, achieving an output power of 59.68 mW at 300 mA and a high photoelectric conversion efficiency of 30.76 % under 10 mA. These results highlight the SrLu 2 Al 3 ScSiO 12 : Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphor's potential for diverse applications, including non-destructive testing, medical diagnostics, anti-counterfeiting, and night vision technologies.

Yolk–shell structured Bi2SiO5:Yb3+,Er3+ upconversion nanophosphors have been successfully synthesized via a simple template-assisted route, in which the reaction of Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped bismuth precursor nanospheres with the silica capping layer in situ is ingeniously designed and controlled. The phase transition and morphology evolution are investigated in detail by X-ray powder diffraction and high-resolution electron microscopy to propose the formation mechanism of the yolk–shell nanostructure. The yielded Bi2SiO5:Yb3+,Er3+ nanophosphors can emit bright green upconversion luminescence under the excitation of a 980 nm laser diode, which enables them to be promising emitters for optoelectronic devices. The potential of the Bi2SiO5:Yb3+,Er3+ nanophosphors as an optical nanothermometer is also demonstrated. The proposed facile synthetic route, unique yolk–shell nanostructure and good upconversion luminescence performance lead the way to access these lanthanide-doped Bi2SiO5 nanophosphors for applications in biotechnology and optoelectronic devices.
