Currently, phosphor materials play an important role in designing noncontact remote optical thermometers. Although many approaches have contributed to improve thermometric performance of optical thermometers including optimization of host materials, size of nanoparticles , dopant type and concentration as well as excitation density and phonon energy engineering, the development of highly sensitive optical thermometric materials is still a challenge. Hence, we developed novel CaNb 2 O 6 (CNO):Ln 3+ (Ln 3+ = Eu 3+ /Sm 3+ /Dy 3+ /Tb 3+ ) phosphors as highly thermometric materials and proposed a novel strategy for further enhancing its thermometric performance via adding the intensity of indicator signal by co-doping Bi 3+ ions in current phosphor system. Typically, the as-prepared CNO:Ln 3+ phosphors present a broad blue emission around 470 nm originated from NbO 6 octahedral groups and some respective emission lines derived from the characteristic f-f transitions of Ln 3+ ions. Based on the diverse thermal quenching performance between blue emission and Ln 3+ ions emission , the temperature sensitivities of CNO:Ln 3+ were investigated in detail. Among them, the maximum relative sensitivity of CNO:Eu 3+ sample reached 1.991% K −1 in the range of 298–448 K and remained 97% after five temperature cycles. Furthermore, an obvious discoloration was discovered during temperature cycle testing in CNO:Ln 3+ samples under 254 nm UV lamp. Through doping Bi 3+ ion, the strongest intensity of indicator signal is 24 folds that of CNO host. Correspondingly, the relative sensitivity of CNO:Bi 3+ , Eu 3+ sample is obviously improved to 3.793% K −1 in the range of 298–523 K, owing to a larger range of the FIR value and a wider drop range of indicator signal. This work opens up an effective pathway to improving thermometric performance of optical thermometers by enhancing the intensity of indicator signal of employed phosphor materials.

Trivalent lanthanides (Ln3+) doped bismuth-based inorganic compounds have attracted considerable interest as promising candidates for next-generation inorganic luminescent materials. Here, a series of K0.3Bi0.7F2.4(KBF) nanocrystalline particles with controlled morphology have been synthesized through a low-temperature aqueous-phase precipitation method. Using KBF as the host matrix, Eu3+, Tb3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+,and Dy3+ions are introduced to obtain K0.3Bi0.7F2.4:Ln3+(KBF:Ln) nanophosphors. The as-prepared KBF:Ln nanophosphors exhibit commendable photoluminescence properties, in which multicolor emissions in a single host lattice can be obtained by doping different Ln3+ions when excited by ultraviolet light. Moreover, the morphology and photoluminescence performance of these nanophosphors remain unchanged under different soaking times in water, showing good stability in a humid environment. The proposed simple and rapid synthesis route, low-cost and nontoxic bismuth-based host matrix, and tunable luminescent colors will lead the way to access these KBF:Ln nanophosphors for appealing applications such as white LEDs and optical thermometry.

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.

Pure cubic phase and uniform BiF3:Ln3+ (Ln = Ho, Er, Tm)/Yb3+ nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by coprecipitation. The growth mechanism of BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ NPs was proposed based on evolution analysis of the time-dependent morphology, in which BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ was formed through the growth process of “nucleation to crystallization and Ostwald ripening”. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties and mechanism of BiF3:Ln3+ (Ln = Ho, Er, Tm)/Yb3+ under dual-wavelength excitation were also systematically investigated. The emission intensity of BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ by dual-wavelength excitation (λ = 980 nm + 1550 nm) was 1.49 times more than that excited by 1550 nm or 980 nm individually. Furthermore, the properties of the bright white and multicolor UCL showed that yellow, purple, green, or pinkish light could be observed by controlling the doping concentration of Ln3+ (Ln = Yb, Er, Tm, and Ho), indicating that they had potential applications in backlight sources of color displays and security labeling. The temperature sensitivity of BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ exhibited a downward tendency and its max value was about 0.0036 K−1 at 273 K. Cell toxicity tests showed that the UCNPs in phospholipid aqueous solution presented low cytotoxicity. Also, in vivo imaging and X-ray imaging revealed that the BiF3:2%Er3+/20%Yb3+ NPs had deep penetration and high contrast, which meant it could be used as a potential probe and contrast agent in in vivo optical bioimaging.

The multiphoton upconversion of near-infrared (NIR) light into challenging UV emission is of great importance and interest for both fundamental research and advanced applications. However, the NIR-to-UV multiphoton upconversion process is inherently inefficient. In this work, a strategy is presented to enhance NIR-to-UV conversion by integrating spatial and temporal control of energy transfer (ET) in lanthanide-doped transparent materials. Through a molecular dynamics simulation-assisted glass-ceramic design approach, the spatial distance is reduced between Yb-Tm-Gd ions and accelerated their ET rates, achieving a 267-fold enhancement of UV emission at 311 nm. Furthermore, this is showed that energy depletion in intermediate excited levels and back ET can be suppressed through short pulse-width excitation, thereby increasing the proportion of UV photons in upconversion emissions from 1.61% to 38.81%. Consequently, low-threshold, room-temperature random lasing at 311 nm under 980 nm ns laser excitation is realized. These findings establish a novel design framework for developing compact solid-state UV lasers with practical applicability.

In this study, Gd 2 O 2 S:Ln 3+ (Ln 3+ = Yb 3+ , Er 3+ ) upconversion nanotubes (UCNTs) were synthesised by using Gd(OH) 3 :Ln 3+ (Ln 3+ = Yb 3+ , Er 3+ ) nanotubes as the template. The luminescent and biological properties of Gd 2 O 2 S:Ln 3+ (Ln 3+ = Yb 3+ , Er 3+ ) UCNTs, along with photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications of the Gd 2 O 2 S:8%Yb 3+ , 2%Er 3+ UCNT–Ce6 (chlorin e6) nanocomposites, were systematically studied. The resultant UCNTs showed excellent biocompatibility with human retinal pigment cells (ARPE-19) even after a prolonged incubation time of 72 h, and could be used as luminescent probes. Microscopic imaging revealed that the UCNTs existed mainly in cytoplasm. PDT studies on the Gd 2 O 2 S:8%Yb 3+ , 2%Er 3+ UCNT–Ce6 nanocomposites indicate that the growth of the tumour (cell) could be inhibited dramatically when it was injected (incubated) with Gd 2 O 2 S:8%Yb 3+ , 2%Er 3+ UCNT–Ce6 nanocomposites under the irradiation of 980 nm laser.

Novel luminescent one-dimensional Ln 3+ (Eu, Tb) doped SiO 2 hollow nanofibers were successfully fabricated using a facile and economical co-axial electrospinning technique with subsequent calcination . The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the as-obtained samples present obvious hollow morphology with an average diameter of 303 ± 11 nm and thin walls approximate 76 nm. For SiO 2 :xEu 3+ hollow nanofibers, the highest luminescence intensity, the longest lifetime and the largest quantum efficiency were both in the composition of 6 mol% Eu 3+ . The large value of R 21 indicated a highly disordered environment around Eu 3+ ions in the host, which was better for intense visible red emission. Meanwhile, the spectral characteristics and radiative properties were also analyzed according to the Judd-Ofelt theory from the emission spectra. What's more, under ultraviolet excitation, the emission colors of samples could be tuned from red to green, including bisque by doping Eu 3+ , Tb 3+ and co-doping Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ ions, which indicated the obtained SiO 2 :Ln 3+ hollow nanofibers are potential phosphors in nanostructured optical devices applications.

Lanthanide-ion doped β -NaYF 4 crystals with bright and tunable upconversion luminescence are urgently demanded in anti-counterfeiting printing. Herein, novel highly luminescent hexagonal NaYF 4 :Ln 3+ upconversion hollow microtubes (UCHMs) were controlled synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method employing poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) as ligand. The surface of the synthesized UCHMs was decorated by water-soluble polymer of PEI , rendering the hydrophilic nature of UCHMs. Besides, the synthesized UCHMs exhibited bright upconversion luminescence under the irradiation of a 980 nm laser due to the unique structure and morphology. Time-dependent morphology evolution showed that the formation of UCHMs experience a morphology change from nanoparticles to hexahedron to microprisms, and ultimately to microtubes via a dissolution-reconstruction formation mechanism. Furthermore, the resulting UCHMs were used as pigments for preparation of luminescent inks and their application in anti-counterfeiting printing was explored. To realize panchromatic printing, we prepared three-primary-color (RGB) UCHMs by rational tailoring the doping pairs and molar ratio of the lanthanide ions in UCHMs. Based on the superposition principle of the red-green-blue as three primary colors, a wide array of luminescent inks with panchromatic luminescent colors were prepared. The successful creation of securely light-responsive smart encryption patterns on various packaging substrates such as art paper, aluminum sheet, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and cardboard by screen printing was demonstrated. Our strategy provides a new route for controlled synthesis of hydrophilic UCHMs and the as-prepared UCHMs have great potential in application of packaging anti-counterfeiting.

Yb2(MoO4)3:Ln3+ (Ln = Ho, Tm, Er) phosphors were synthesized by a hydrothermal method with further calcination. The crystal structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of rare earth ion interaction in the Yb2(MoO4)3:Ln3+ phosphors on the upconversion (UC) luminescence properties and energy transfer process at different doping concentrations were discussed. It is concluded that by doping Ho3+, Tm3+, and Er3+ in the Yb2(MoO4)3 host, the phosphors emit orange-yellow, blue and green light, respectively, and the energy transfer from Yb3+ → Ho3+/Er3+ and Yb3+ → Tm3+ is a two and three photon process, respectively. Under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, by changing the Ho3+/Tm3+ ratio in doped Yb2(MoO4)3, we have realized the transition of phosphors from cold white light to warm white light. The temperature sensitivity of the 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 energy levels of Yb2(MoO4)3:Er3+ in the range of 323–573 K was studied by the FIR technology. The experimental results show that the maximum absolute sensitivity was 0.0081 K−1 at 573 K and the maximum relative sensitivity was 0.01 K−1 at 323 K. Compared with other materials, the Er3+ doped Yb2(MoO4)3 phosphor is an excellent optical temperature sensing material.

Novel Sc2Mo3O12:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb, Dy, Tb/Eu, Dy/Eu) phosphors have been synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal route using glycine (Gly) as a surfactant. The phosphors were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL), and luminescence decays. It was found that various surfactants had a profound influence on the crystal phase, morphology and emission intensity of the final products. Furthermore, the photoluminescence of Ln3+-doped Sc2Mo3O12 phosphors (Ln = Eu, Tb, Dy, Tb/Eu, Dy/Eu) was studied in detail. The energy transfer of MoO42− → Tb3+ (Dy3+) → Eu3+ and multicolor tunable emission occurred by changing the ratio of Tb3+/Eu3+ or Dy3+/Eu3+ under single wavelength excitation. Moreover, the energy transfer mechanism from Tb3+ (Dy3+) to Eu3+ was ascribed to dipole–dipole interactions and the energy transfer efficiency from Tb3+ to Eu3+ (95.3%) was higher than that from Dy3+ to Eu3+ (87.5%). Their tunable multicolor luminescence properties make Sc2Mo3O12:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb, Dy, Tb/Eu, Dy/Eu) phosphors suitable for many potential applications in the fields of color displays and fluorescent lamps.

The design and fabrication of advanced materials with multiple optical states for constructing security code are of great value in anti-counterfeiting. Herein, novel upconversion photonic crystal (UCPC) films with tunable luminescence and structural color were prepared by vertical deposition of polystyrene encapsulated NaYF 4 :Ln 3+ (CSNPs@SiO 2 /PS) composite microspheres . The composite microspheres were synthesized by sequential coating technology . Firstly, NaYF 4 :Ln 3+ @NaYF 4 core/shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) were synthesized and served as upconversion luminescent emission centers. Then, the CSNPs were further coated by a SiO 2 shell with pendant double bond to form CSNPs@SiO 2 -MPS. Afterward, mono-dispersed CSNPs@SiO 2 /PS composite microspheres were synthesized by emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of CSNPs@SiO 2 -MPS. By tailoring the doped lanthanide ions in CSNPs and adjusting the diameter of the composite microspheres, UCPC films with diverse upconversion fluorescence and structural color can be obtained. As a proof of concept, these different kinds of UCPC films were employed as information coding units to construct dual-mode anti-counterfeiting code. Our protocol provided a new security strategy for information storage.
