In this study, well-defined PAA-coated NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanophosphors were synthesized via a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) mediated hydrothermal process. The rational control of initial reaction conditions, such as hydrothermal temperature, pH value of precursor-solution,
added amount of PAA, and molecular weight of PAA ligand, resulted in upconversion of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors with varying crystal phases (α and β) and morphologies (e.g., nanosphere, submicrorod, microrod, microtube, and microprism).
By assessing the upconversion luminescent properties of the synthesized NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors upon excitation by 980 nm infrared light, it was demonstrated that the β-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors generally
presented stronger upconversion luminescent than α-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphors and orthorhombic phase of YF3:Yb3+, Er3+ sample. Additionally, the β-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+
phosphors with hollow microtube morphology presented higher upconversion luminescent intensity than phosphors of other morphologies. This may be due to microtubes having larger surface area (inner and outer surfaces), which promoted the absorption efficiency under similar excitation conditions,
therefore generating higher luminescent intensity. Findings form this study suggest for precisely controlled growth of other complex rare earth fluoride compounds and provide a reference for exploration of component-, phase- and morphology-dependent upconversion luminescence properties.

Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) is a well-known and important phenomenon in physics , chemistry, and biology, which plays a crucial role in various photofunctional systems, including photovoltaics , and lighting, and sensing where molecular distances and interactions are probed. This paper presents a systematical investigation of the construction of interfacial FRET between carbon dots (CDs) and NaYF 4 :Eu 3+ nanoparticles (NPs) via various synthesis routes. The interfacial FRET was found to take place from CDs to Eu 3+ in the wet-mixed and the reacted nanocomposites owing to the presence of strong interfacial interactions, as evidenced by the results of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). By employing CDs-sensitized NaYF 4 :Eu 3+ NPs as a model system, we were able to elucidate the intricate FRET mechanism between CDs and NaYF 4 :Eu 3+ NPs. Surprisingly, the reacted nanocomposite exhibits remarkable photo- and thermal-stability, as well as high resistance to thermal degradation , demonstrating the robustness of the interfacial FRET in enhancing Eu 3+ emission intensity. The study presents a convenient and versatile approach to achieving interfacial FRET based on CDs nanocomposites, which have a promising potential application in solid-state lighting and biomedicine.

The poly(acrylic acid) functionalized NaYF 4 :Yb,Er nanoparticles (NPs) were found to possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, which could catalyze oxidization of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbiphenyl (TMB) by H 2 O 2 to produce a color variation. Using TMB as substrate, we systematically studied the effect of a series of conditions, such as temperature and pH, on the catalytic activity of NaYF 4 :Yb,Er NPs. When combined with uricase, the proposed colorimetric method could be successfully used for the determination of uric acid. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of this method was from 1.0 × 10 −5 M to 2.0 × 10 −4 M with the detection limit down to 5.3 × 10 −6 M. Moreover, the developed method was applied to detect uric acid in serum samples and the results were in good agreement with those reported by the hospital.

To investigate the optical properties of rare earth upconversion particle, the Cr 3+ and alkaline-earth ions (Mg 2+ or Ca 2+ ) co-doped β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ upconversion microparticles (UCMPs) were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method . The influences of co-doping ions and their concentrations on crystal structure, particle morphology and optical properties were thoroughly investigated by XRD , SEM , FT-IR spectra, UV–VIS-NIR absorption spectra and photoluminescence spectra. And the effects of the two kinds of impurity ions co-doping on the UC particle growth were studied. We found that luminescence quenching could be inhibited by using Cr 3+ and Mg 2+ co-doping due to the asymmetrical ion arrangement around activator. However, the Cr 3+ and Ca 2+ co-doping was found to quench the upconversion luminescence (UCL), and the possible mechanism was suggested. These discoveries lead to new insights into the quenching effect and new strategy to design UCMPs for better luminescence performance.

To overcome the intrinsic disadvantages of pristine g-C 3 N 4 and make it reusable, improve the activity of g-C 3 N 4 by making use of the near-infrared region, the magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /β-NaYF 4 /g-C 3 N 4 (FO/UC/CN) heterogeneous materials with high and stable NIR enhanced photocatalytic activity were prepared via a new facile one-step solvothermal synthesis method. It can be revealed that FO/UC/CN can activate UV–visible light under excitation of 980 nm. Compared with pure Fe 3 O 4 , g-C 3 N 4 and Fe 3 O 4 /g-C 3 N 4 , the obtained FO/UC/CN15 heterojunction exhibits good photodegradation rates of 65.56, 21.35, 59.22 and 20.49% for MB, MO, RhB and phenol, respectively. In addition, after four cycles of the photocatalytic degradation test, the photodegradation rates remain 62.14, 20.54, 57.64 and 19.36%, respectively. The results illustrate magnetic FO/UC/CN heterojunction exhibits highly NIR-enhanced photocatalytic activity and excellent stability. This study indicates a promising system to synthesize g-C 3 N 4 -based magnetic photocatalysis for effectively utilizing the NIR and treating industrial wastewater, which can be expected to alleviate the energy crisis and enhance the application of solar energy for dealing with environmental remediation in the future.

Yb3+ and Er3+ ions co-doped α-NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanocrystals were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method using citric acid (CA) as chelating ligand and NaNO3 as mineralizer. The influences
of the CA/RE (RE= Y+Yb+Er) molar ratio, reaction time, reaction temperature and the NaNO3/RE molar ratio on the crystal phases and shapes of as-prepared products have been well investigated. The possible formation mechanism has been discussed in detail and an aggregation growth
theory has been proposed. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra were used to characterize the products. Under 980 nm excitation, the emission intensities
of the as-prepared nanocrystals were much stronger than that of the nanocrystals modified by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Additionally, the as-prepared products maintained spherical shape and high degree of monodispersion, which is expected to be suggestive for the preparation of
other complex rare earth fluoride compounds.

In this paper, Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped hexagonal NaYF 4 have been successfully synthesized by solvothermal, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal and molten salt method, respectively. The crystal structures, particle morphologies, sizes and corresponding upconversion luminescent properties of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nano/microcrystals are systemically studied. It is interesting to observed that the temperature-dependent UC luminescent properties of β-NaYF 4 :20 %Yb 3+ , 2 %Er 3+ samples are strongly related to their synthesis methods. Comparison of the upconversion luminescence and thermal sensitivity between the β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ samples reveals that β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ sub-microplates synthesized by thermal decomposition method have much stronger green emission intensity, better luminescent thermal stability and higher temperature sensitivity. This findings are relevant to the application of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ in optical temperature sensors and to the further understanding of the UC luminescent mechanism.

Hexagonal phase (β-) NaYF4:Yb/Er upconversion (UC) microrods doped with Cu2+ ions were prepared via a facile solvothermal method. Simultaneous phase and shape control of NaYF4:Yb/Er crystals with enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL) was successfully realized by codoping with Cu2+ ions. With an increasing Cu2+ ion concentration in the NaYF4:Yb/Er system, the crystal structure changed from a mixture of α- and β-phases to the pure β-phase and was converted into highly uniform microrods. As for the Cu2+ ion doped β-NaYF4:Yb/Er upconversion microrods, the maximum emission occurs with the sample added with 60 mol% Cu2+ ions and the UCL intensities of the green and red emissions were enhanced 37 and 25 times, respectively. Meanwhile, the possible mechanisms for the enhanced UCL of NaYF4:Yb/Er crystals were also discussed in detail. Moreover, the temperature dependent UCL properties of 60 mol% Cu2+ ion doped β-NaYF4:Yb/Er were studied under 980 nm excitation, which were temperature-sensitive over a wide temperature range from 123 K to 423 K. The change in UCL intensity influenced by temperature was discussed in detail.

Exploiting new transitions in the visible light range is important in the development of advanced color displays, superior laser materials, and novel optical devices. Here, for the first time, we observed several intensive upconversion (UC) emission bands at 382, 472, 506, 560, and 618 nm from a single β-NaYF4:Yb/Er microcrystal via saturated excitation. Compared to the traditional red (650 nm) and green (545 nm) UC emissions, these new emission bands intensify rapidly as the excitation intensity increases, which leads to full-color UC luminescence in the visible region. Nearly white luminescence was elicited from a single microcrystal with a relatively high excitation power. Moreover, the mechanism of these newly observed UC emissions was elucidated by examining the energy migration. It was also found that these microcrystals exhibit waveguide-transmission characteristics and are transparent to their own UC emissions. These findings provide a basis for further exploration of the silent transitions of other rare-earth-ions and demonstrate the potential for using β-NaYF4:Yb/Er microcrystals in a variety of applications in color display and waveguide-based optical devices.

Dual-phase compounds consisting of CsPbBr 3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and NaYF 4 :Ho 3+ nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared, and their phase compositions and luminescence properties were characterized. The temperature-dependent fluorescence spectra of compounds were measured under 447 nm excitation in the temperature range from 123 K to 433 K. With the increase of temperature, the fluorescence intensities of PQDs and NPs show different decreasing trends due to different temperature quenching mechanisms. Then, the temperature sensing properties of compounds are studied via fluorescence intensity ratios (FIRs) of 529 nm (CsPbBr 3 ) to 647 nm and 751 nm (NaYF 4 :Ho 3+ ). The result shows that I 529 /I 751 owns super large absolute sensitivity (385 K −1 ), high relative sensitivity (5.13%∙K −1 ) and distinct optimum temperature uncertainty (0.00345 K). Therefore, this compound may be used as highly sensitive temperature sensors .

To date, the mechanisms of Er3+upconversion luminescence via 980 and 1530 nm excitation have been extensively investigated; however, based on discussions, they either suffer from the lack of convincing evidence or require elaborated and time-consuming numerical simulations. In this work, the steady-state and time-resolved upconversion luminescence data of Er3+-doped NaYF4were measured; we therefore investigated the upconversion mechanisms of Er3+on the basis of the spectroscopic observations and the simplified rate equation modeling. This work provides a relatively simple strategy to reveal the UCL mechanisms of Er3+upon excitation with various wavelengths, which may also be used in other lanthanide ion-doped systems.

To enhance photocatalytic activity spectra area of the TiO 2 based photocatalyst, and to separate and recycle photocatalyst easily, magnetic photocatalyst was prepared with β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ , TiO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 as carriers, and tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursor. The magnetic infrared responsive photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, a fluorescence spectrometer and UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. They showed that the composite of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ /TiO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 (UCTFS) emits visible luminescence upon 980 nm excitation, and energy transfer from β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ to TiO 2 was verified. The photocatalytic activities of the UCTFS were studied by orthogonal experiments for photodegradating methylene blue (MB). The degradation rate of MB can reach 86.69% under the optimal conditions. After the four recycles, the degradation rate remained 52.72%. It also showed that 50.27% of the degradation efficiency of phenol can be obtained under the same experimental parameters. These results suggest that magnetic UCTFS composite is stable and a magnetic NIR-driven photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants. Moreover, the NIR driven photocatalytic mechanism of this reported composite was proposed. The strategy suggested here may be indicated for the effective fabrication of magnetic NIR-driven photocatalyst for application in the water purification by full spectra of solar energy.
