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.

Up-convertion (UC) perovskite Er3+-doped PbTiO3 (Er-PTO) nanoparticles with green and red emissions were synthesized via the hydrothermal method. The UC properties were manipulated by adjusting the concentration of Er3+ ions dopant. The green emission intensity was decreased as the doping concentration increased from 1% to 4% (mole fraction), whereas the red emission intensity was increased. The influences of Er3+ ions on the temperature-sensing performance were further investigated. The results demonstrated that Er-PTO nanoparticles with doping 1% Er3+ ions possessed a sensitivity of 3.1 × 10-3 K−1 at 475 K, presenting a high potential in optical heating devices.

Multifunctional materials with optical temperature sensing and anti-counterfeiting properties have vast application prospects in our daily life, but the development of them still faces huge challenges. Herein, a novel SrY 2 O 4 :Bi 3+ ,Er 3+ phosphor with multicolor luminescence was synthesized triumphantly. Stimulated by different ultraviolet (UV) lights, the sample exhibits blue or green emissions, while emits yellow up-conversion luminescence under 980 nm laser irradiation. Interestingly, abnormal thermal quenching and thermal stimulation enhanced persistent luminescence are realized in SrY 2 O 4 :Bi 3+ ,Er 3+ . Benefiting from the distinct responses of Bi 3+ and Er 3+ luminescence to temperature, thermochromism is verified when excited by UV or 980 nm light. Furthermore, the color shift from yellow-green to dark yellow is seen as the 980 nm laser power density reduces or the distance between laser source and the sample increases. Based on the luxuriant luminescence properties, multimode optical temperature sensing and dynamic anti-counterfeiting are constructed. All findings indicate that the multicolor emissive SrY 2 O 4 :Bi 3+ ,Er 3+ material offers a fresh outline for the exploitation of multiple optical thermometry and anti-counterfeiting.

In this paper, Y 2 Mo 4 O 15 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ upconversion phosphors are prepared by a co-precipitation method. In the case of 20% Yb 3+ doping, the intense green upconversion luminescence is obtained, which can be attributed to the energy transfer from Yb 3+ -MoO 4 2- dimer to Er 3+ that suppresses the multi-phonon relaxation of 4 I 11/2 to 4 I 13/2 . Similar the Yb 3+ sensitization, the dimer sensitization is also dependent on the Yb 3+ concentration. When the Yb 3+ concentration exceeds 20%, the luminescence is quenched by the cross relaxation and energy migration between dimers. A method for evaluating the reliability of temperature measurement standards is reported. Moreover, in term of the reliable temperature scale, the maximum absolute sensitivity of sample doped with 20% Yb 3+ is determined to be 0.0117 K -1 . Favorable sensing ability and strong upconversion luminescence indicate that the optimum sample is potentially applicable as the optical thermometric materials.

Although much effort has been focused on thermally enhanced upconversion (UC) luminescence, it remains a challenge to maintain or even enhance the UC luminescence of NaLnF4-based phosphors (Ln = Y, Gd, Lu) using a surface-independent strategy. In this work, we demonstrate that the effect of temperature on UC luminescence in NaGdF4:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+ nanocrystals is strongly dependent on the exciting wavelength. When excited using 808 nm radiation, the UC luminescence exhibits good resistance to thermal quenching. The reason is that, in this situation, the negative effect of multi-phonon decay can be fully compensated by the thermal enhancement in the transition cross-section and in energy-transfer rate. Our research reports a novel strategy for the anti-thermal quenching of upconversion luminescence, which is potentially applicable in the design of dynamic UC anti-counterfeiting as well as in NIR-I-responsive thermometers and nanoheating.

A simple sol-gel method was used to synthesize a hybrid nanostructure which can achieve the switching of dual-modal luminescence of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @CuInS 2 /ZnS. With 980 nm excitation, the nanoparticles exhibit red emissions, and exhibit green-yellow to red emissions under 365 nm excitation. It is noticed that the CuInS 2 /ZnS acts as a sub-energy level to mediate energy transfer between the rare earth ions of the NaYF 4 and CuInS 2 /ZnS QDs. We found that the dual-modal luminescent properties of the synthesized hybrid nanomaterials can be potentially applied in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

High sensing sensitivity and accuracy is valuable for optical temperature sensors in practical applications. Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped BaZrO3 ceramics were prepared by the dry pressing method. The upconversion luminescence of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped BaZrO3 ceramics was studied at a temperature range from 300 to 500 K under different pump power. The ratio of non-thermal coupling levels of 4S3/2, 4I9/2→4I15/2 (I546/I875), and 4F9/2, 4I9/2→4I15/2 (I658/I875) show a linear relationship as the temperature increased. The maximum relative sensitivity was estimated to be 1.39% K−1 at 500 K under 90 mW pump power. The result indicated that the BaZrO3:Er3+/Yb3+ ceramic is a promising candidate for high temperature sensing applications.

The large number of energy levels available to lanthanide ions makes the emission mechanism of lanthanide-doped luminescent materials extremely complicated. Herein, we focus on the discussion and analysis of luminescence manipulation in Gd 2 O 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals and systematically investigate ion-ion interaction–induced energy transfer in up- and downconversion processes to shed light on the manipulation mechanism, showing that the luminescence of the above nanocrystals can be controlled by varying the content of Yb 3+ . Based on Dexter's energy transfer theory and the fact that excitation of Er 3+ ions results in the appearance of emission attributed to the 2 F 5/2 → 2 F 7/2 transition of Yb 3+ in the near-infrared region (950–1100 nm), this behavior is ascribed to the occurrence of energy transfer from Er 3+ to Yb 3+ .

Advanced functional materials that possess both persistent luminescence (PersL) and mechanoluminescence (ML) have gained considerable attention during the past few years owing to their potential applications in many fields such as two-dimensional stress sensing, energy-saving lighting, and optical bioimaging. However, combined investigation of PersL and ML is still in its infancy. Here, the optical property of Er 3+ -doped NaYF 4 , mainly focusing on the PersL and ML characteristic and their correlation, is studied in detail. It is shown that microscaled NaYF 4 :Er 3+ has advantages against nanoscaled counterpart in terms of PersL and ML, consistent with the photoluminescence results. By means of pre-charging and trap-emptying cycle and thermoluminescence test, it is confirmed that the PersL and ML of NaYF 4 :Er 3+ come from the same trapped charge carriers, and the ML belongs to the trap-controlled ML. Furthermore, the good repeatability is proven, and regulation of the PersL and ML of NaYF 4 :Er 3+ is realized. Finally, the potential of NaYF 4 :Er 3+ for dynamic anti-counterfeiting and dual-mode detection of X-ray radiation dose is demonstrated. Graphical After being charged by X-rays, NaYF 4 :Er 3+ emits green persistent luminescence and trap-controlled mechanoluminescence, which can be used for dynamic anti-counterfeiting and X-ray dosimetry.

NaScF4:Yb3+/Er3+ crystals were successfully hydrothermally synthesized using distilled water as a single solvent. The crystal phase and morphology were characterized by XRD and SEM. Compared with organic solvents such as ethanol, ethylene glycol and ether, the molar ratio of Na/F/Sc plays an important role in the synthesis of NaScF4 crystals. Morphological control was achieved by changing the types of additives, and the relationship between morphology and luminescence properties was explored. The NaScF4:Yb3+/Er3+ phosphors exhibit strong green and red UC emissions under the excitation of 980 nm NIR. Optimal concentrations of Yb3+ and Er3+ for up-conversion luminescence performance were identified as 10% and 2%, respectively. Without any subsequent heat treatment process, the obtained NaScF4:10%Yb3+/2%Er3+ showed good temperature sensitivity. The temperature sensing ability was investigated by employing the dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the two thermal coupling energy levels of Er3+ (2H11/2 → 4I15/2 and 4S3/2 → 4I15/2) on temperature; the maximum sensitivity SA/SR was 0.00256 K−1/0.00317 K−1 at 548 K, and it increased to 0.00328 K−1/0.00413 K−1 after adding EDTA. In addition, an evaluation of temperature uncertainty during temperature measurement was performed, and was found to be 0.073 K and 0.095 K in the presence and absence of EDTA, respectively. Compared with some other reported materials, the obtained material shows a relatively superior temperature sensitivity, which provides new ideas for the improvement of temperature-sensitive materials.

To settle the unsatisfying efficiency and insufficient light harvesting ability of photocatalysts, we report on the development of Er3+/Yb3+-codoped BiOBr (BiOBr:Er3+/xYb3+) microparticles that were synthesized by a rational high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The prepared microcrystals exhibit high visible upconversion (UC) emissions with maximum intensities at x = 0.01 when excited by a 980 nm laser. Remarkably, the corresponding UC emission process is attributed to a two-photon absorption route. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities of as-synthesized compounds were further evaluated through analyzing the visible–near-infrared light-triggered tetracycline degradation. Compared with BiOBr:Er3+ microparticles, BiOBr:Er3+/xYb3+ microparticles present superior photocatalytic properties and the optimal status is achieved when x = 0.05, in which h+, ·O2–, and ·OH active species contribute to the photocatalytic mechanism. Additionally, the designed microparticles exhibit better photocatalytic abilities than previously reported photocatalysts (i.e., TiO2, SnO2) upon full-spectrum light irradiation. These results reveal that Yb3+ codoping is able to not only enhance the UC emission properties of BiOBr:Er3+ microparticles but also reinforce their photocatalytic activities. Our findings may put forward a facile strategy to regulate the photodegradation capacity of photcatalysts.

In this work, the nitriding method was used to improve the up-conversion (UC) luminescence intensity and temperature sensing sensitivity of phosphor materials. Yb 3 Al 5 O 12 : Er 3+ and partially nitrided Yb 3 Al 5 O 12-1.50 x N x : Er 3+ phosphors by using AlN as nitrogen source were prepared via solid-state reaction method. The influence of nitridation on the UC luminescence and temperature sensing properties of Yb 3 Al 5 O 12 : Er 3+ phosphors upon 980 nm excitation were discussed. Almost pure red UC emission was obtained, and the intensity of the red UC emission of the samples was enhanced by 25 % after nitridation. Meanwhile, the absolute temperature sensitivity respectively derived from the intensity ratios of the green and red emissions increased by 5 % and 50 % after nitridation. Judd-Ofelt theory was utilized to analyze the change of the crystal field environment around Er 3+ and confirmed that the introduction of N 3– reduced the symmetry around Er 3+ and strengthened the covalence between Er 3+ and ligands, which may result in the enhancement of UC emission intensity and temperature sensing sensitivity. The experiment proved that Yb 3 Al 5 O 12 : Er 3+ red UC phosphors had potential application in luminescence imaging and temperature sensors.
