In this study, a Yb 3+ , Er 3+ co-doped TiO 2 inverted pyramid nanorod (NR) array and a compact TiO 2 film are simultaneously fabricated as the mesoporous support layer and electron-blocking layer, respectively, by a one-pot hydrothermal method . The scanning electron microscopy results show that the incorporation of Er 3+ and Yb 3+ causes changes not only in the growth rate of the NRs, but also in the TiO 2 NR morphology. The Er 3+ , Yb 3+ co-doped TiO 2 NRs exhibit an inverted pyramidal morphology, which is beneficial for perovskite permeation and light utilization. Notably, the Er 3+ , Yb 3+ co-doping causes changes in the band gap of TiO 2 and leads to 25% increase in the current density. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results show that the device based on the doped TiO 2 NRs has a higher recombination resistance and a lower transfer resistance than those of the undoped device, and thereby, the doped device exhibits a lower electron recombination rate. In addition, the upconversion Er and Yb co-doped device exhibits 25% higher current density and 17% higher photon-to-electron conversion efficiency, as revealed by the J-V test results. Moreover, the optimized efficiency of the TiO 2 NR array-based perovskite solar cell is determined to be 10.02%. Furthermore, the Er and Yb co-doped device exhibits a near-infrared response, an efficiency of 0.1% is achieved under infrared light (800–1100 nm) irradiation. This upconversion material can widen the photovoltaic responses of solar cells into the near-infrared region and improve the utilization of sunlight.

Trivalent Er 3+ -doped La 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 upconversion phosphors with intense green emmision were synthesized at 800 °C by the solid-state reaction route, promoting the development of novel optical thermometry. The color emitted from the samples was minorly affected by the excitation power and doping concentration. Yb 3+ is a better sensitizer for the La 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 : Er 3+ phosphor and it can enhance the emission intensity when a certain amount is co-doping in the system. The up-conversion luminescent mechanism was investigated using the pump power-dependent UC emission spectra. Alkali metal doping increased the up-conversion emission intensities drastically, and Li + ions can enhance the luminous intensity by more than 20 times. The fluorescence intensity ratio of the transition emission 2 H 11/2 - 4 I 15/2 and 4 S 3/2 - 4 I 15/2 was used to study upconversion optical temperature sensing. The sensitivity changes from doping with diverse alkali metal ions and their effects on the optimal temperature range are discussed in detail. Alkali metal ions doping extended the temperature range, indicating that this phosphor is a potential candidate for temperature-sensing probes.

The various applications of luminescence materials were generally based on the effective modulation of luminescence spectra. However, the research on reversible spectral regulation of up-conversion (UC) luminescence materials was still in its infancy stage. In this work, a class of smart phosphor, Er 3+ and Yb 3+ -codoped SrBi 8 Ti 7 O 27 (SBYT: xEr 3+ ) intergrowth bismuth layer-structured ferroelectric , possessing fast sensitivity to visible light irradiation, was reported based on visible light driven photochromic effect. Through the alternate stimuli of light irradiation and heating treatment, the reversible regulation of UC luminescence was achieved accompanying with the switching of coloration and decoloration processes. The luminescence modulation degree tightly relied on the irradiation time and thermal treatment modes. The reversibility and stability properties were also revealed. Moreover, it is found that polarization treatment was an effective approach which can be adopted to improve the UC luminescence contrast. The maximum luminescence modulation ability of SBYT: xEr 3+ reached up to 81.3% which was 131% of that un-polarized sample. It is believed that SBYT: xEr 3+ ceramics can act as a promising candidate for optical data storage and anti-counterfeiting applications.

Absolute quantum efficiency (QE) of up-conversion (UC) materials is still limited to ∼3%, which strongly limits their applications in many areas. Herein, we report highly efficient UC β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ micro-cylinders prepared via a newly developed Li+/Na+ ion exchange method (IEM) with absolute QE as high as ∼4.0%. A small amount of Li+ is interstitially incorporated in β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+, which not only maintains well the micro-cylindrical morphology but also enhances the emission intensity by ∼40%, doubles absolute UCQE (∼3.0% under a fixed excitation power density of 15 W cm−2), and prolongs the lifetime. The UC excitation profile is composed of a sharp peak at 976 nm and a weak shoulder at 935 nm. The absolute UCQE of Li+/Na+ IEM β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ is systemically studied over a wide excitation power density of 0.4–100 W cm−2, and we obtained impressively high UCQE of 4.0% under 60 W cm−2 power density, which is among the highest values in the literature. The application of two green UC emissions of Li+/Na+ IEM β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ in ratiometric thermometers is successfully demonstrated. The high relative temperature sensitivity (SR) of 1113/T2 and excellent repeatability as indicated by three heating–cooling cycles (293–753 K) suggest their promising application as a temperature sensor.

In this work, Yb3+-immobilized hydrophilic phytic-acid-coated magnetic nanocomposites were prepared through a facile route and used to selectively separatrf bovine hemoglobin. Hydrophilic phytic acid (PA) was coated onto the magnetic Fe3O4-PEI via electrostatic interactions, followed by finally chelating with Yb3+ ions, which could produce specific protein binding sites at room temperature in water, and complex instrumentation was not necessary. The performance of as-prepared hybrids (Fe3O4-PEI-PA-Yb3+) was assessed by selectively isolating bovine hemoglobin (BHb). The obtained maximum binding capacity was 347.3 mg g–1. The retained BHb could be eluted under simple elution via using 0.1 M of Na2CO3, giving a recovery of 83%. Moreover, the generation of nanocomposites was demonstrated. In addition, the PA and PEI could improve the hydrophilicity of nanoparticles and further reduce the nonspecific adsorption. Therefore, such nanocomposites were successfully employed to selectively bind and separate BHb from bovine serum as verified by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF MS analysis, providing a new perspective for the isolation of heme proteins in proteomics.

The pure and intense orange upconversion luminescence of Eu3+ was efficiently achieved in NaYF4 and NaLuF4 nanocrystals through the upconversion sensitization of doped Yb3+ and Mn2+ ions dimer for the first time. A shell-coating strategy was performed to further enhance the emission intensity. In this work, a novel upconversion mechanism for energy transfer from the Yb3+–Mn2+ dimer to the Eu3+ ion was proposed by analyzing the upconversion luminescence spectra, lifetimes and pumping photons measurements of the obtained nanocrystals in detail. The applications of the nanocrystals for CT imaging and ratiometric pH sensing in physiological pH range were performed. This study also provides a new upconversion spectral region at around 592 nm for applications in multicolor imaging, multiplexed encoding and detection.

Upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) of lanthanide-doped efficient ternary fluoride (β-NaGdF4:Yb3+,Er3+) with sizes below 20 nm are synthesized in a facile solvothermal route. Upconversion luminescence (UCL) of the UCNPs is found to increase with increase of the nanoparticle size prepared at a higher solvothermal-treatment temperature, due to reduction of the surface defects. Interestingly, opposite size dependences of the red/green UCL intensity ratio are observed for the same series of UCNPs in different surface conditions, i.e., with increase of the nanoparticle size, the ratio decreases for as-prepared dry powders, but increases for moisturized counterparts after being exposed in air for some days, and interesting the ratio decreases again after annealing of the moisturized samples. The phenomenon is explained due to the effect of surface defects and adsorbed water molecules, respectively, dominating in nonradiative relaxations, which usually facilitate red UCL. The disclosed phenomenon clarifies some contradictory observations on UCL in the literature.

The rare earth ion doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) synthesized by hydrophobic organic ligands possess poor solubility and low fluorescence quantum yield in aqueous media. To conquer this issue, NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + /Tm 3 + UCNPs, synthesized by a hydrothermal method, were coated with F127 and then assembled with chitosan to fabricate the chitosan/NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + /Tm 3 + composite beads (CS/NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + /Tm 3 + CBs) by Pickering emulsion system. The characterization results revealed that the as-synthesized NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + /Tm 3 + UCNPs with an average size of 20 nm exhibited spherical morphology, high crystallinity and characteristic emission upconversion fluorescence with an overall blue color output. The NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + /Tm 3 + UCNPs were successfully conjugated on the surface of chitosan beads by the gelling of emulsion droplets. The resultant CS/NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + /Tm 3 + CBs showed good upconversion luminescent property, drug-loading capacity, release performance and excellent biocompatibility, exhibiting great potentials in targeted drug delivery and tissue engineering with potential tracking capability and lasting release performance.

Upconversion luminescent (UCL) materials have broad application prospects in the field of temperature sensing; thus, improving the luminescence performance and temperature measurement sensitivity of upconversion phosphors is highly important. In this study, SrAl 2 Si 2 O 8 with good thermal stability was doped with Ho 3+ and Yb 3+ , and the optimal concentration was determined to be SrAl 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ (in mole fraction). A series of (Sr 0.87‒ x Ba x )Al 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ phosphor samples was prepared by using a cationic substitution strategy and further doping Ba 2+ to replace the Sr 2+ lattice in the matrix. The results show that the introduction of Ba 2+ effectively replaces Sr 2+ and significantly increases the upconversion fluorescence emission intensity of SrAl 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ by approximately 2.9 times. The temperature sensing properties of SrAl 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ and Sr 0.37 Ba 0.50 Al 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ were investigated. The Ho 3+ -based 5 F 5 and 5 S 2 / 5 F 4 nonthermal coupled energy level fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) techniques in the Ba 0.37 Sr 0.50 Al 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ phosphors show a maximum temperature measurement absolute sensitivity of 4.32%/K at 573 K and a maximum relative sensitivity of 1.08%/K at 373 K; these values are 5.8 and 3.2 times greater, respectively, than that of the non-Ba 2+ -doped SrAl 2 Si 2 O 8 :1%Ho 3+ , 12%Yb 3+ phosphor. These results not only confirm the effectiveness of the cation substitution strategy in enhancing the upconversion luminescence performance and temperature sensing characteristics but also provide a scientific basis for the design of high-performance optical temperature sensors.

In the realm of photocatalysis, effectively utilizing solar energy, especially the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, presents substantial challenges. To tackle this issue, a novel composite of NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+@Cu2O@MoS2@Fe3O4 (denoted as NYE@Cu2O@MoS2@Fe3O4) was ingeniously fabricated and assessed for the photodegradation of organic contaminants. By harnessing the distinct properties of upconversion materials, narrow bandgap semiconductors, and magnetic substances, the NYE@Cu2O@MoS2@Fe3O4 catalyst possesses a photodegradation rate of 92% for the rhodamine B dye under NIR light radiation, which is superior to NYE@Cu2O (50%) and NYE@Cu2O@MoS2 (85%). The enhanced performance in the near-infrared photocatalysis of NYE@Cu2O@MoS2@Fe3O4 is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of various components, which promotes an increase in photo-induced carrier generation and facilitates their efficient transfer and energy utilization under NIR irradiation. This study provides a possible route for the near-infrared photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in areas with limited light or even dark conditions.

Rear earth(RE)-doped halide perovskite has generated as an amazing optical material for multicolor luminescence. Free-lead halide double perovskites have attracted interesting because of their non-toxicity and higher instability. Here, RE 3+ doped chloride-based double perovskite phosphors are reported. A series of heavy concentration Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ doped Cs 2 NaBiCl 6 (CNBC) phosphors are prepared with a solvothermal route. The band structure of CNBC is calculated through density functional theory (DFT). The luminescence properties of CNBC:Ho 3+ and CNBC:Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ are investigated through upconversion(UC) and downshifting(DS) processes. From CNBC:Ho 3+ , the brightness orange, deep red and pale green lights are achieved under excitation at 365, 452 and 980 nm. The multicolor emissions of CNBC:Ho 3+ are used to multimode fluorescent anti-counterfeiting. Comparing with CNBC:Ho 3+ samples, the UC emission intensity of CNBC:Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ are dramatically enhanced. The brightness green light can be seen by naked eyes under super lower power pumping(∼10 mW). The temperature sensing properties of CNBC:Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphor are investigated systematically based on the luminescence intensity ratio(LIR) of thermally coupled levels(TCLs)( 5 F 1 / 5 G 6 , 5 F 2,3 / 3 K 8 ) and non-TCLs( 5 F 4 / 5 S 2 , 5 F 5 ). The maximum relative sensitivity(S R ) reaches 5.089% K −1 at 293 K according to the LIR of non-TCLs. The work will broaden the application field of RE 3+ -doped free-lead perovskite such as anti-counterfeiting and thermometry.
