In this paper, Yb 3+ /Er 3+ , Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped β -NaYF 4 up-conversion fluorescent nanoparticles (UCNPs) with an average diameter of 50 nm were successfully synthesized through a thermal decomposition method. The Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped UCNPs possess bright and tunable luminescence varying from green to red as the ratio of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ doping increases. Remarkably, white up-conversion luminescence can be successfully achieved through the incorporation of Tm 3+ . The white light up-conversion efficiency of Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped UCNPs dispersed in the solvent have been calculated, suggesting the potentials of the efficient white up-conversion emissions for the multispectral imaging and potential bio-applications.

In this work, β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion (UC) film was successfully prepared on silicon (Si) substrate via self-assemble method for the first time. The chemical composition and surface morphology of the UC film were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), water contact angle (WCA), X-ray power diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. To investigate the effects of KH-560 primer film and chemical reactions on the UC luminescence properties of β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Er UC film, decay profiles of the 540 nm and 655 nm radiations were measured. Furthermore, tribological test was applied to qualitatively evaluate the adhesion of the UC film. The results indicate that the UC film has been successfully prepared on Si substrate by covalent chemical bonds. This work provides a facile way to synthesize β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Er UC film with robust adhesion to the substrate, which can be applicable for other UC films.

Upconversion nanomaterials have been extensively applied in many fields owing to their unique optical and electronic properties. In this work, β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ microcrystals were synthesized by an improved hydrothermal method. The morphology and the composition of the prepared microcrystals were experimentally investigated in detail by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Under the excitation of a 980 nm continuous-wave (CW) laser, the green (541 nm) and red (644 nm) upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Ho 3+ through the energy transfer upconversion processes assisted by the Yb 3+ ions were experimentally studied at the single-particle level. With the gradual increase of excitation intensity in the highly doped Yb 3+ microcrystals, the red UCL was enhanced significantly more than the green UCL and was dominant, resulting in the UCL color finally tuning to pure red. Comparatively, for the lightly doped Yb 3+ microcrystals, the green UCL exhibited a relatively similar increase to the red UCL. The populations of the Yb 3+ and Ho 3+ ions and transitions of the UCL were systematically demonstrated through calculation of the energy levels. Notably, a new UCL at 580 nm was observed, which was ascribed to the transition of 5 F 1 , 5 G 6 → 5 I 7 .

β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals embedded transparent glass ceramic has been successfully fabricated by direct incorporation of hydrophilic upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into sol-gel silica glass and subsequent heat treatment. The temperature-sensitive upconversion luminescent behaviors of the as-fabricated UCNPs-silica glass ceramic are systemically investigated in order to investigate its potential application as luminescent thermometric medium. Impressively, benefiting from low-phonon-energy environment, highly UC emission for erbium ions in β-NaYF 4 nanophase and high transparency, good chemical/mechanical stability of the oxide glass matrix, the investigated glass ceramic has superiorities of high relative temperature sensitivity (~ 1.16% K −1 ) and excellent thermal stability for accurate temperature sensing. This preliminary study not only provides a reference for fabricating other transparent bulk glass ceramics containing highly luminescent nanomaterials , but also exploits an effective approach for developing high-performance luminescent thermometers.

Hexagonal-phase NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used as the most efficient NIR-to-visible upconversion (UC) luminescent and probe in bioscience. Here, we exploited not only the function of dual-mode emission of β-NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ NPs in the near infrared (NIR) and visible regions with single wavelength excitation at 980 nm, but also the function of physiological temperature sensing with the luminescence of Er3+ in the visible region. The structural and optical characteristics of β-NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ NPs were obtained using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM),and fluorescence spectral measurements, respectively; the mechanism for the energy transfer has been suggested with emphasis on the optimized Er/Yb concentration for most efficient UC. Due to the UC and down-shifting NIR properties, we achieved the dual-functional nanoparticles with potential application in physiological range temperature sensing and bioimaging simultaneously.

Composite nanoparticles consisting upconversion nanoparticles (β-NaYF 4 :Yb/Er) and nitrogen doped TiO 2 nanoparticles were constructed via a chemical assembly method. Efficient energy transfer was enabled since the upconverted energy matched up with the band gap of N-TiO 2 . This enables the resulting composite nanoparticles to possess excellent Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation activity under near infrared (NIR) light irradiation.

β-Phase NaYF4:Yb,Tm,Gd up-conversion nanorods (UCNRs) with high uniformity were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The optimal fluorescence intensity of UCNRs was explored. After further modification with Materials of Institute Lavoisier-100(Fe) (MIL-100(Fe)) by the layer-by-layer self-assembly method, near-infrared light-triggered UCNR@MIL-100(Fe) nanomaterials with excellent antibacterial performances were constructed. A core–shell structure was constructed and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Reactive oxidizing species (ROS) detection indicated that the nanomaterials owned good photodynamic efficacy. The antibacterial experiments showed that the nanomaterials with 980 nm light irradiation and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) had good antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Under 980 nm laser excitation, UCNRs generated ultraviolet and visible light to activate MIL-100(Fe) and induced a photo-Fenton reaction, which further produced oxygen species for antibacterial applications.

In this study, Cr 3+ and Mg 2+ co-doped β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ (NYFYE) microcrystals were synthesized for the first time by the facile hydrothermal method . Cr 3+ and Mg 2+ co-doping was confirmed to influence the structure, morphology and UCL property of NYFYE microcrystals. The growth mechanism of NYFYE microcrystals doped with different Cr 3+ and Mg 2+ was discussed in detail. With 16 mol% Cr 3+ and 4 mol% Mg 2+ co-doping into NYFYE, the UC emissions were enhanced to 7 times (green) and 4 times (red) higher than those of the undoped counterpart, and the mechanism was explored by considering the different roles of Cr 3+ and Mg 2+ , the surface quenching and concentration quenching effects. This finding suggests the co-doping of two different impurity ions may be a better approach than corresponding single impurity ion doping for morphology control and UCL intensity enhancement, which is instructive for high performance UC crystals design.

Smuggling has caused serious adverse effects on the global market and national security, among which drug smuggling is increasingly rampant. Thus, the development of high-tech security strategies has become an urgent challenge for customs supervision. Recently, lanthanide ions (Ln 3+ ) doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have opened up new ways for security and anti-fake applications due to their unique optical properties under near-infrared excitation. Here, we propose a novel upconversion microcrystal composed of hexagonal phase NaYF 4 :Ln 3+ capped by sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), successfully used in customs supervision. The addition of SHMP can not only regulate the morphology of microcrystals, but also significantly improve the luminescence properties of UC. The absolute quantum yield is up to 7% at the low power density of 30 W∙cm −2 , above most currently reported levels. Without adding any organic additives, the precise control of particle phase and morphology (e.g., microrod, hexagonal prism and hollow sphere) would be achieved by adjusting the doping ratio of SHMP/Ln 3+ . As the reaction time extends, the morphology of NaYF 4 :Ln 3+ changes from ellipsoid to microrod, while cubic phase transforms into hexagonal phase. Under the excitation of 980 nm laser, the green upconversion emission of hexagonal NaYF 4 :Ln 3+ microrods is significantly strengthened, which is more powerful than other observed particles with other shapes. This strong upconversion emission that depends on morphology and phase has huge application potential in security anti-counterfeiting and photonic devices .

The introduction of upconversion materials as spectral converter into photovoltaic devices to harvest and convert near infrared photons to visible photons that can thus be absorbed by perovskite layer is a promising strategy for enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells . Hence, β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Sc 3+ @NaYF 4 rare-earth doped upconversion nanoparticles with core-shell structure are synthesized. The doped rare-earth ions Yb 3+ and Er 3+ convert near infrared light to red and green light, and the Sc 3+ ions enhance the upconversion luminescence efficiency, which broaden the absorption range of solar irradiation and generate extra photocurrent in the solar cells. The surface defects of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Sc 3+ is passivated by the even NaYF 4 shell, which results in the obvious enhancement in upconversion emission intensity. Consequently, the perovskite solar cell based on the rare-earth doped upconversion nanoparticle mesoporous layer achieves a high power conversion efficiency of 20.19%, while the device based on TiO 2 mesoporous layer gets an efficiency of 17.44%.

Carboxylic acid-functionalized Yb 3 + /Er 3 + co-doped α - and β -NaYF 4 nano-/micro-spheres were prepared through a simple poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-assisted hydrothermal process. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein was conjugated with Yb 3 + /Er 3 + co-doped α -( β -)NaYF 4 upconversion phosphors via free carboxylic acid groups on the surface of phosphors. The final products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), infrared (IR) spectrophotometer, ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). XRD results showed that pure α -NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + nanospheres could be obtained via PAA assisted hydrothermal process at the pH value of 4–5 and 160 °C for 1–4 h. The obtained product is a mixture of α and β phases NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + when the reaction time increased from 5 to 24 h. When the solution was treated at 200 °C for 8–24 h at the pH value of 8–9, pure β -NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + microspheres were obtained. The FE-SEM results showed that the morphology of pure α -NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + was spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 70 nm and the pure β -NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + was microsphere with an average diameter of about 700 nm, which is composed of spherical nanoparticles (30 nm). The FT-IR and UV spectra showed that BSA had been conjugated with α -NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + upconversion phosphors. The luminescence properties of α -( β -) NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + phosphors were also studied. Under 980 nm excitation, the upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity of β -NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + microspheres was much stronger than that of α - NaYF 4 :Yb 3 + , Er 3 + nanoparticles. Moreover, both red and green upconversion were ascribed to the two-photon process.

Synthesis of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-metal halide perovskites (MHPs) heterostructure is garnered immense attentions due to their unparalleled photophysical properties. However, the obvious difference in their structural forms makes it a huge challenge. Herein, hexagonal β-NaYF 4 and hexagonal Cs 4 PbBr 6 are filtrated to construct the UCNP/MHP heterostructural luminescent material. The similarity in their crystal structures facilitate the heteroepitaxial growth of Cs 4 PbBr 6 on the surface of β-NaYF 4 NPs, leading to the formation of high-quality β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm/Cs 4 PbBr 6 core/shell nanocrystals (NCs). Interestingly, this heterostructure endows the core/shell NCs with typically narrow-band green emission centered at 524 nm under 980 nm excitation, which should be attributed to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Tm 3+ to Cs 4 PbBr 6 . It is noteworthy that the FRET efficiency of β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm/Cs 4 PbBr 6 core/shell NCs (58.33%) is much higher than that of the physically mixed sample (1.84%). In addition, the reduced defect density, lattice anchoring effect, as well as diluted ionic bonding proportion induced by the core/shell structure further increase the excellent water-resistance and thermal cycling stability of Cs 4 PbBr 6 . These findings open up a new way to construct UCNP/MHP heterostructure with better multi-code luminescence performance and stability and promote its wide optoelectronic applications.
