The core–shell NaGdF 4 :Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 :Yb,Nd upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were successfully obtained with the method of co-precipitation, and the water-solubility of UCNPs was improved by the ligand exchange reaction between nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate (NOBF 4 ) and nanoparticles. The IR-783 dye with negative charge and NOBF 4 -UCNPs with positive charge can bind together by electrostatic action to sensitize UCNPs through the energy transfer from IR-783 to UCNPs. However, with the presence of Na 2 S (a commonly used H 2 S donor), a highly selective reaction between H 2 S and IR-783, which destoried the structure of IR-783 and blocked the energy transfer, thus led to the quenching of luminescent intensity. Based on this, a sensing system for determination of H 2 S has been constructed successfully. The linear range of H 2 S detection by this system is 0.5–15 μM, and the detection limit is 34.17 nM. Furthermore, the dye-sensitized core–shell NaGdF 4 :Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 :Yb,Nd upconversion nanoprobe was applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.

A new turn-on luminescence energy transfer (LET) system has been designed for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA, a cancer marker) that utilizes Mn 2+ -enhanced long wavelength luminescence NaYF 4 : Yb, Er upconversion nanorods as the donor and gold nanorods as the acceptor. The Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion luminescence nanorods with an emission peak located in the red region were synthesized. The presence of Mn 2+ markedly increased the luminescence intensity over that of the NaYF 4 :Yb, Er upconversion nanomaterials (excited by a 980 nm continuous wavelength laser). The surfaces of Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb, Er upconversion nanorods were modified with poly(acrylic acid). Antibodies against prostate specific antigen were bound to the surface of the carboxyl-functionalized upconversion nanorods, which acted as the energy donor in this LET system. Gold nanorods with an absorption band at ~666 nm were synthesized by the seed growth method, acted as the energy acceptor. The emission band of the upconversion nanorods overlapped well with the absorption band of the gold nanorods. The luminescence was quenched because of the electrostatic interactions that shortened the distance between the donor (negatively charged) and the accepter (positively charged).When the PSA antigen was added into the system, the energy acceptor and the energy donors were separated because the binding affinity between PSA and anti-PSA was greater than the electrostatic interactions, and thereby the luminescence was recovered. The linear range of detecting PSA was from 0.1172 to 18.75 ng/mL ( R =0.995), with a limit of detection for PSA as low as 0.1129 ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to the sensing of PSA in human serum samples.

A quantitative image analysis and separation system was designed for detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related DNAs in the red region by combining of upconversion luminescence nanoprobe and magnetic beads (MBs). Carboxyl-modified NaGdF 4 :Yb, [email protected] 4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were connected to single-stranded DNA to form a reporter probe, while carboxyl-modified magnetic beads were connected to another single-stranded DNA to form a capture probe. In the presence of target HIV DNAs, NaGdF 4 :Yb, [email protected] 4 UCNPs and magnetic beads were conjugated to form UCNPs-DNA-MBs nanocomplexes through DNA-DNA heteroduplexes based on the principle of complementary base pairing. After magnetic separation, the upconversion luminescence intensity of UCNPs-DNA-MBs nanocomplexes was related to the concentration of the target HIV DNAs. The detection methods were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry and quantitative image analysis based on upconversion luminescence total internal reflection (TIR) imaging platform. Compared to the luminescence spectral analysis, the quantitative image analysis shows higher sensitivity (linear range of 0.02−30 nM and detection limit of 0.0102 nM). More importantly, this method only needs 10 μL sample and the analysis time is about 0.1 s. The method combines quantitative image analysis with magnetic separation technology, which has the characteristics of low background interference and high separation efficiency allowing for application to the field of biology.

The selective recovery of Er(III) from the leachate is of environmental and economic importance based on the non-renewability and strategic position of high-value heavy rare earth elements. In this study, functionalize bacterial cellulose (BC) with unique three-dimensional network structure was used as the oriented imprinting framework for construction of thiourea BC imprinted aerogel (DBCT-IIPS). The oriented assembly process allows all the imprinted sites to be located on the surface of the BC, which greatly improves the mass transfer efficiency compared to the conventional imprinting process. Experimental analysis shows that functional modification of BC and the crosslinking of hydrazine group greatly improve the stability and adsorption properties of aerogel materials. Adsorption experiments showed that DBCT-IIPS can fast and selectively adsorb Er(III) from rare earth leachate. The maximum adsorption capacity reaches 65.43 mg g −1 . After 5 times of adsorption and desorption, adsorption capacity of DBCT-IIPS can still maintain 81.6% of the initial capacity. So, DBCT-IIPS can efficiently and selectively recover of Er(III) from rare earth leachate.

Lanthanide ion-doped Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 upconversion (UC) luminescent materials exhibit a unique negative thermal quenching phenomenon, making them highly promising for applications in fluorescence thermometry. However, the luminescence intensity of Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 phosphor is relatively low at room temperature, so it is urgently necessary to enhance the intensity of the phosphor at room temperature. In this study, Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 :Yb/Er/Al phosphors were synthesized via the solid-state reaction method, and the effects of Al 3+ ion doping on their phase composition and upconversion fluorescence properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and upconversion fluorescence spectra evaluation. The results show that the incorporation of Al 3+ ions enhanced the UC intensity at room temperature and improved the fluorescence thermometry performance. The doping of Al 3+ ions disrupts the lattice symmetry and reduces the distance between sensitizer ions (Yb 3+ ) and activator ions (Er 3+ ), increasing the UC intensity by approximately 4.2 times. In addition, the dependence of fluorescence properties of ScAl 0.6 Mo 3 O 12 :18%Yb 3+ /2%Er 3+ samples on temperature were tested, the negative thermal quenching effect was verified, and the thermal enhancement mechanism was explored. The maximum absolute and relative sensitivities of the ScAl 0.6 Mo 3 O 12 :18%Yb 3+ /2%Er 3+ reached 0.00635 K −1 at 372 K and 0.00829%K −1 at 300 K, respectively, indicating the potential of the phosphor for applications in optical thermometry.

Imaging guided photothermal agents have attracted great attention for accurate diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Herein, multifunctional NaYF4:Yb/Er@polypyrrole (PPy) core–shell nanoplates are developed by combining a thermal decomposition reaction and a chemical oxidative polymerization reaction. Within such a composite nanomaterial, the core of the NaYF4:Yb/Er nanoplate can serve as an efficient nanoprobe for upconversion luminescence (UCL)/X-ray computed tomography (CT) dual-modal imaging, the shell of the PPy shows strong near infrared (NIR) region absorption and makes it effective in photothermal ablation of cancer cells and infrared thermal imaging in vivo. Thus, this platform can be simultaneously used for cancer diagnosis and photothermal therapy, and compensates for the deficiencies of individual imaging modalities and satisfies the higher requirements on the efficiency and accuracy for diagnosis and therapy of cancer. The results further provide some insight into the exploration of multifunctional nanocomposites in the photothermal theragnosis therapy of cancers.

In this work, we developed a simple and selective luminescence sensing system for detecting ascorbic acid (AA) based on NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and oxidase-like CoOOH nanoflakes. When p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and oxidase-like CoOOH nanoflakes were added to the UCNPs solutions, PPD, as a typical substrate of oxidase, could be oxidized to PPDox. The luminescence intensity of UCNPs was quenched because PPDox could play a role as an energy acceptor. When AA was added to the above solution mixture, the CoOOH nanoflakes were destroyed, and then, the luminescence intensity was recovered. Under the best experimental conditions, the linear range for detection of AA was 0.8 to 280 μM, and the detection limit was 0.25 μM. Furthermore, the system could be applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.

An redox luminescence switch was developed for the sensing of glutathione (GSH), l -cysteine (Cys) or l -ascorbic acid (AA) based on redox reaction. The Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion nanorods (UCNRs) with an emission peak located in the red region were synthesized. The luminescence intensity of the UCNRs could be quenched due to the Mn 2+ could be oxidized to MnO 2 by KMnO 4 . Subsequently, when the AA, GSH or Cys was added into the MnO 2 modified upconversion nanosystem, which could reduced MnO 2 to Mn 2+ and the luminescence intensity was recovered. The concentration ranges of the nanosystem are 0.500–3.375 mM (R 2 = 0.99) for AA, 0.6250–11.88 mM (R 2 = 0.99) for GSH and 0.6250–9.375 mM (R 2 = 0.99) for Cys, respectively.

A β-NaYF4:Yb,Er,Gd nanorods@1T/2H-MoS2 nanocomposite was fabricated and used for photocatalytic sterilization under illumination from single near-infrared (NIR) light. Approximately 99.3% of Escherichia coli were killed effectively by 15 min irradiation of NIR light at a dose of 40 μg mL−1. The effective bactericidal activity is ascribed to the high upconversion luminescence efficiency of β-NaYF4:Yb,Er,Gd and the layered two-dimensional nanosheet structure of 1T/2H-MoS2. Under 980 nm light irradiation, β-NaYF4:Yb,Er,Gd emits visible light, which is absorbed by MoS2, producing strongly oxidative holes and reductive electrons. Photogenerated electron–hole pairs were able to react with H2O, O2 and OH− to produce reactive species in aqueous solution. These reactive species are strong nonselective oxidizing agents for sterilization.

Doping is one of the important technologies for modifying the properties of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Herein, ultrathin Er-doped MoS2 nanosheets with an enhanced visible-light response have been synthesized by a wet-chemical method. The few-layer characteristic of the MoS2:Er nanosheets is beneficial from the H2S generated during the preparation process. Near-infrared emission at ∼1530 nm from MoS2:Er nanosheets has been observed under 980 nm laser excitation, which corresponds to the energy transition from 4I13/2 to 4I15/2 of Er3+. Meanwhile, the enhanced visible-light response of MoS2:Er has been demonstrated by the photocatalytic performance (removing rhodamine B) and photocurrent response compared with undoped MoS2. Based on the experiments and density functional theory calculation, the enhanced visible-light response is attributed to the improved separation capability of photogenerated electron–hole pairs of the ultrathin MoS2:Er nanosheets. Er-doping induces an increase of S vacancies and the energy transfer between Er3+ ions and the host. The work demonstrates a developed universal and recyclable synthesis strategy for various metal-doped MoS2 nanosheets and their applications in the fields of photocatalysis and photodetection.

A novel aptasensor labeled with Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs) was employed in electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA). The ECL aptasensor was assembled by immobilizing the thiolated aptamers of BPA covalently on a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-modified electrode and pairing with complementary DNA labeled with NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs. The ECL aptasensor can not only rapidly and accurately detect BPA concentrations from 0.05 to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.037 ng/mL but also provides a new platform for ECL applications based on the use of upconversion nanoparticles as a promising alternative material.
The NaYF4:Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs combining with the BPA aptamer serving as recognition elements create a ECL platform for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A. The change in ECL signals induced by aptamer-target interactions was measured and a significant decrease in intensity was found on interaction with BPA in the concentration range of 0.05 to 100 ng/mL.

We report the use of an efficient hydrothermal method to synthesize superparamagnetic and red luminescent bifunctional Fe 3 O 4 @Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er nanoparticles (NPs) with core@shell structures via a seed-growth procedure. Oleic acid coated Fe 3 O 4 (OA-Fe 3 O 4 ) NPs were initially synthesized using a coprecipitation method. The as-synthesized OA-Fe 3 O 4 NPs were then used as seeds, on which the red upconversion luminescent shell (Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er) was formed. Furthermore, hydrophobic to hydrophilic surface modification of the Fe 3 O 4 @Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er NPs was achieved via a ligand exchange method where oleic acid was displaced by a PEG phosphate ligand [PEG = poly(ethylene glycol)]. These materials were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The Fe 3 O 4 cores were uniformly coated with a Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er shell, and the bifunctional Fe 3 O 4 @Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er NPs were monodispersed. Furthermore, the Fe 3 O 4 @Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er NPs exhibited a saturated magnetization value of 6.2 emu/g and emitted red luminescence under a 980 nm laser. The obtained bifunctional Fe 3 O 4 @Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er NPs may find potential applications in drug targeting, bioseparation, and diagnostic analysis. The synthetic method may be employed for the preparation of other bifunctional nanomaterials.
