One-dimensional (1D) Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 :Er/Yb tube-in-tube nanostructures were prepared via a simple electrospinning technique with a single nozzle. The diameter of the outer tube of the Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 :Er/Yb tube-in-tube nanostructures is 190–170 nm, the thickness of the outer wall is 22–20 nm, the diameter of the inner tube is 120–100 nm, and the wall thickness of the inner tube is 17–14 nm. The optical properties of the Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 :Er/Yb tube-in-tube nanostructures, including the up-conversion and downshifting luminescence spectra, temperature sensitivity, and thermochromic properties, were studied in detail. Under 980 nm excitation, two weak green emissions at 528 nm and 550 nm, as well as a strong red emission at 650 nm of Er ions, are presented. When excited at 378 nm, the Er ions exhibit strong green emission at 545 nm, two weak red emission peaks at 650 and 680 nm, and near-infrared emission peaks at 1400–1600 nm. With increasing environmental temperature, the luminescence color of the 1D Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 :Er/Yb tube-in-tube nanostructures exhibited a transition from “orange→yellow→ green” when excited at 980 nm. For the 1D Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 :xEr/yYb tube-in-tube nanostructures (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03; y = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15), the maximum values of S r are 2.3 % K −1 under 980 nm excitation and 2.1%K −1 under 378 nm excitation within the temperature range of 303–723 K. This work develops integrated multifunctional optical materials and provides an alternative approach for the fabrication of nanoscale smart platforms, advanced displays, and applications in information security.

Balancing red-emission intensity and the red-to-green (R/G) emission ratio remains an important challenge in Er 3+ -based upconversion nanoparticles. Herein, a multilayer core–shell architecture was developed to achieve differential regulation of red-emission intensity and the red-to-green (R/G) emission ratio in Er 3+ -based upconversion nanoparticles. After screening NaYbF 4 : x %Er 3+ @NaYF 4 core–shell nanoparticles, the sample containing 2% Er 3+ exhibited a favorable balance between overall emission intensity and the R/G ratio and was therefore selected as the precursor for constructing NaYbF 4 :2%Er 3+ @NaYF 4 @NaErF 4 :y%M 3+ @NaYF 4 (M = Yb or Tm) multilayer nanoparticles. In this architecture, the Yb-rich core, intermediate NaYF 4 layer, compositionally tunable Er-rich shell, and outer NaYF 4 shell were designed to provide spatially differentiated excitation harvesting, interfacial modulation, spectral regulation, and surface passivation, respectively. Under identical 980 nm excitation and collection conditions, incorporation of 15%Yb 3+ into the Er-rich shell increased the integrated red-emission intensity to 2.40 times that of the undoped multilayer counterpart, whereas incorporation of 0.5%Tm 3+ produced the highest R/G ratio of 17.1 while retaining comparatively strong emission. Power-dependent and time-resolved luminescence measurements, together with the proposed energy-transfer model, indicate that Yb 3+ incorporation is predominantly associated with enhanced local excitation sensitization and energy utilization within the Er-rich region, whereas trace Tm 3+ incorporation is more closely associated with excited-state population redistribution toward the red-emitting pathway. These results demonstrate that red-emission intensity and the R/G ratio can be differentially regulated within the same multilayer platform through Yb 3+ or Tm 3+ incorporation into the Er-rich shell. This work provides a spatially organized and compositionally tunable strategy for tailoring red upconversion emission in Er 3+ -based multilayer nanoparticles.

Glass-forming region guided design gives a stable Zn(PO 3 ) 2 -AlF 3 -NaF fluorophosphate host (ΔT ≈ 166 °C) for fiber drawing. • Fluorine as a network modifier creates a low-phonon environment, boosting 1.5 μm emission. • Broadband 1.5 μm emission in bulk (47.2 nm) and fiber (ASE 1450–1650 nm, 0.187 dB/cm). Driven by the rapid growth of AI, 5G/6G, and chip-scale LiDAR, broadband 1.5 μm gain media with high efficiency and fiber compatibility are urgently needed. However, the structure-spectroscopy correlation governing the luminescence performance of Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped glasses remains insufficiently understood. In this work, a Zn(PO 3 ) 2 -AlF 3 -NaF fluorophosphate glass composition (ZAFPN15) was selected based on a previously reported glass-forming region and characterized from atomic structure to fiber-level performance. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that fluorine predominantly acts as a network modifier and that Er 3+ ions are predominantly coordinated by fluorine (Er–F coordination number ≈ 7.73). The local phonon energy around Er 3+ ions is estimated to be below 500 cm⁻ 1 , much lower than the nominal maximum phonon energy (∼1260 cm⁻ 1 ). The optimized glass exhibits a measured emission cross-section of 0.54 × 10⁻ 20 cm 2 at 1535 nm with an effective linewidth of 47.2 nm, together with a low inversion threshold (∼0.2). Fiber fabrication from this glass shows amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spanning 1450–1650 nm with a propagation loss of 0.187 dB/cm at 1535 nm. These results demonstrate that this specific fluorophosphate glass composition can be processed into an active fiber with broadband near-infrared emission, and the structural data offer a possible explanation for the observed emission properties.

New generation of Cr 3+ -free eco-friendly phosphors (no risk of Cr 3+ → Cr 6+ oxidization toxicity) are highly sought to develop broadband NIR light sources. As an essential element for body health, Fe 3+ ion would be an exceptional alternative in strong octahedral crystal field. Here, the Fe 3+ activators were utilized in orthoborate-pyroborate A 2 Sc 2 B 4 O 11 for creating novel NIR-emitting phosphors. A broad absorption over 240–450 nm due to O 2- → Fe 3+ charge transfer transition was recorded for Sr 2 Sc 2 B 4 O 11 :Fe 3+ (SSBO:Fe 3+ ) at 370 nm and Ba 2 Sc 2 B 4 O 11 :Fe 3+ (BSBO:Fe 3+ ) at 355 nm. Resultant NIR emissions with large full width at half maximum about 170 nm were obtained for SSBO:Fe 3+ peaked at 975 nm and BSBO:Fe 3+ at 930 nm. The unique excitation of Fe 3+ doping towards near-ultraviolet (near-UV) region was initially achieved for potential advantage of coupling a mainstream UV chip. Codoping of Yb 3+ into A 2 Sc 2 B 4 O 11 :Fe 3+ made emission peak red-shift towards 1000 nm and ~ 160-fold enhancement in the integral intensity owing to a robust energy extraction from the major dark (nonluminous) Fe 3+ . The optimized SSBO:0.02Fe 3+ ,0.15Yb 3+ exhibited considerable internal and external quantum efficiency ~ 78% and 48%, respectively. Compared to the luminescence thermal stability of ASBO:Fe 3+ (32%@373 K, i.e., sustaining 32% of its room-temperature emission intensity at 373 K), the Yb 3+ codoping endowed much superior stability > 63%@373 K, and additional temperature sensing with relative sensitivity ~ 1.5% K −1 at 423 K. Ultimately, by coating the novel phosphors onto UV ~ 365 nm chips, the home-made pc-LEDs were applied in night vision, food inspection, biomedical imaging, and spectroscopy analysis.

In this paper, the upconversion(UC) and downshifting(DS) luminescence and thermal sensing performances of the CaIn 2 O 4: RE 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ (RE=Er, Ho) phosphors are investigated in detail. The bright UC emission bands from 450 to 900 nm and the DS luminescence bands from 1000 to 1700 nm are obtained under 980 nm excitation. The typical near infrared(NIR) emisson band(∼1550 nm) of Er 3+ ions and the NIR emission band(∼1200 nm) of Ho 3+ ions are gained. The temperature sensing features of CaIn 2 O 4: RE 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ (RE=Er, Ho) phosphors are investigated with the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique. The results indicate that the maximum relative sensitivity (S Rmax ) of CaIn 2 O 4: Er 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ sample reaches 1.576% K -1 at 313 K, and the S Rmax of CaIn 2 O 4: Ho 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ sample reaches 0.797% K -1 at 353 K in UC range. In addition, the higher temperature measuring sensitivities have been obtained in NIR-II region with the DS luminescence of CaIn 2 O 4: RE 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors. The above results indicate that the CaIn 2 O 4: RE 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors show bright emission bands in visible and NIR-II, and higher sensitivity for temperature measurement. The CaIn 2 O 4: RE 3+ /Tm 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors present great application in optical temperature measurement.

High purity green up-conversion (UC) materials have wide applications in fluorescent labeling, plastic recycling and displays, etc. However, Yb3+/Er3+-based UC materials exhibit poor color purity of green light, and their output color is normally unstable under a variable excitation power density, which hinders their application in the aforementioned areas. Herein, we report the highly stable and efficient pure green UC of rod-like β-NaGdF4:Yb3+,Ho3+ submicro-crystals synthesized via a newly developed ion-exchange modified (IEM) method. IEM-derived NaGdF4:Yb3+,Ho3+ monodisperse submicro-crystals present not only a high-purity green output color (due to the large intensity ratio of green to red, IGreen/IRed ≈ 5) but also excellent color stability under varying conditions, such as excitation power density and doping concentration of Yb3+/Ho3+. More importantly, IEM arouses an enormously enhanced UC emission intensity of ∼3700-fold that of the precursor crystals (PC). The UC emission intensity of IEM β-NaGdF4:Yb3+,Ho3+ is ∼4 times stronger than that of its high temperature annealing (HTA) counterpart. The emission intensity of the single green band is ∼40% stronger than that of the IEM β-NaGdF4:20%Yb3+,2%Er3+ submicro-crystals. A proof-of-concept fluorescent labeling of clover patterns (15 × 12 mm) printed from NaGdF4:Yb3+,Ho3+ ink with stable and high purity green fluorescence is demonstrated under excitation with various power densities.

Novel rare earth complex-functionalized mesoporous SBA-16-type hybrid materials are synthesized by the co-condensation of modified 2-methyl-9-hydroxyphenalenone (MHPOSi), from modified 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl isocyanate (TEPIC), and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of Pluronic F127 as a template. These inorganic–organic mesoporous hybrids are characterized by FT-IR spectra, small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD), N 2 adsorption–desorption measurements, thermal analysis and spectroscopy. Their photophysical properties, which show novel light conversion properties, are discussed in detail. The Eu 3+ hybrid system shows ultraviolet excitation and visible emission, and the Nd + and Yb 3+ hybrids exhibit visible excitation and NIR emission.

A series of ternary lanthanide β-diketonate derivatives covalently bonded to xerogels (named as Ln-DP-xerogel, Ln = Sm, Yb, Nd, Er, Pr, Ho) by doubly functionalized alkoxysilane (dbm-Si) was synthesized in situ via a sol-gel process. The properties of these xerogel materials were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), diffuse reflectance (DR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyses, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The data and analyses suggest that the lanthanide derivatives have been covalently grafted to the corresponding xerogels successfully. Of importance here is that, after excitation with visible light (400–410 nm), the xerogels all show characteristic visible (Sm3+) as well as near-infrared (NIR; Sm3+, Yb3+, Nd3+, Er3+, Pr3+, Ho3+) luminescence of the corresponding Ln3+ ions, which is attributed to the energy transfer from the ligands to the Ln3+ ions via an antenna effect. Exciting with visible light is advantageous over UV excitation. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first observation of NIR luminescence with visible light excitation from xerogels covalently bonded with the Sm3+, Pr3+, and Ho3+ derivatives. Compared to lanthanide complexes (Ln = Er, Nd, Yb) functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) materials that exhibit similar optical properties reported in our previous work, the Ln-DP-xerogel (Ln = Sm, Yb, Nd, Er, Pr, Ho) in this case offer advantages in terms of ease of synthesis and handling and potentially low cost for emerging technological applications. Development of near-infrared luminescence of the lanthanide materials with visible light excitation is of strong interest to emerging applications such as chemosensors, laser systems, and optical amplifiers.

In this study, the energy transfer (ET) mechanism among Yb3+/Er3+/Mn2+ has been revealed by download conversion (DC) and upconversion (UC) transients and steady-state fluorescence spectra. Moreover, the novel structure, inert-core/active-shell/inert-shell cubic NaYF4@NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+@NaYF4, has been synthesized via a convenient hydrothermal method. With the excitation of a 980 nm laser diode, bright single-red upconversion (UC) fluorescence is observed, which shows the longest UC lifetime and highest efficiency compared with the other structures of NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+, NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+@NaYF4, and NaYF4@NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+/Mn2+. The inert-core/active-shell/inert-shell nanocubes are homogeneous with an ultra-small (sub-20 nm) size, which is suitable for distribution and elimination in biological tissue. Our results indicate that the Mn2+ doping of δ-doped structures is an effective method to significantly improve UC single-red light, which shows great potential application in vivo bioimaging.

Although rare-earth (RE 3+ )-doped negative thermal expansion (NTE) luminescent materials exhibit promising anti-thermal quenching effects, limited progress has been made in modifying their NTE and luminescence performances. This study investigates the impacts of Mo 6+ ion stoichiometry on the crystal structure, NTE behavior, and photoluminescence (PL) thermal response characteristics in Er 3+ , Yb 3+ co-doped Sc 2 Mo 3(1+x) O 12 phosphors (−0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.1). The results reveal that augmenting the Mo 6+ content results in a transition from three-dimensional to two-dimensional NTE behavior in the host material due to the change in steric hindrance. This transition modulates cross-relaxation and back energy transfer processes between the doped Er 3+ and Yb 3+ ions. Consequently, the thermal enhancement factor for the upconversion luminescence of Er 3+ ions decreases with increasing Mo 6+ content, whereas the factor for near-infrared downshifting luminescence increases. Additionally, using the luminescence intensity ratio between the 1550 nm emission of Er 3+ and the 1050 nm emission of Yb 3+ for temperature sensing, a maximum relative sensitivity of 3.97 % K −1 is achieved in Sc 2 Mo 3.21 O 12 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ . These findings provide insights into the synchronous regulation of the NTE and luminescence properties of RE 3+ -doped NTE phosphors for versatile applications.

Hexagonal NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@SiO2 upconversion nanoprism-mixed SiO2 passivation layers are introduced into hole-transport-layer free carbon-based perovskite solar cells to improve the power conversion efficiency. This layer on the top of the TiO2 scaffold has multiple functions: (i) upconversion units could transform near-infrared photons to visible region and thus extend the absorption range; (ii) nanoprisms act as light-scattering centers to prolong light-transmission distance and enhance light harvesting; (iii) SiO2 capping layer could suppress charge recombination at the interface of perovskite/TiO2 through passivation effect. The champion efficiency of our carbon-based device with an optimal amount of upconversion nanoprisms is 14.47%, which is 16.1% higher than that of the reference (12.46%). In addition, our unencapsulated solar cells exhibit good stability against moisture and thermal stressing in ambient condition. We also demonstrated another application of our device as a self-powered photodetector with NIR-sensitive features.

In contrast to common visible emission, an anomalous near-infrared (NIR) emission band at 790 nm has been demonstrated in the spinel structure MgGa2O4:Mn2+ with heavy Mn2+ doping. Tunable single-band visible to visible-NIR and single-band NIR emission are easily realised upon tuning the doping concentration of Mn2+. Careful investigation of the crystal structure, fluorescence lifetime and excitation & emission spectra indicates that the NIR emission might be ascribed to the 6A1(6S)4T1(4G) → 6A1(6S)6A1(6S) transitions of Mn2+–Mn2+ dimers. When some Yb3+ ions are codoped into the spinel MgGa2O4:Mn2+, room temperature visible upconversion (UC) emission is realised upon excitation with a 976 nm laser diode. The temperature-dependent UC emission properties as well as the related UC mechanism have been investigated. Understanding the nature of the Mn2+ Stokes and UC emissions is the key to developing advanced photonic devices with improved properties and manufacturability for engineering applications.
