Lanthanide-doped upconversion (UC) materials are commonly excited by 700–1000 nm laser because of Yb 3+ (980 nm excitation) and Nd 3+ (808 nm excitation) are typically used as sensitizers. However, the excitation band located in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) demonstrates the deeper penetration in biological tissue with minimum tissue scattering and autofluorescence. Herein, intense red UC emission in Er 3+ -sensitized NaLuF 4 particles under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation is presented. Red UC luminescence is significantly enhanced and purified through confining the 1532 nm excitation energy by Ho 3+ and Tm 3+ mediators, via an energy back transfer pathway (Er 3+ → Ho 3+ → Er 3+ and Er 3+ → Tm 3+ → Er 3+ ). Furthermore, when the particles injected into the fresh beef, red UC luminescence can be distinctly observed from the inside of beef under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation, implying the deep penetration of 1532 nm NIR-II excitation and 660 nm red UC emission. Our results suggest that bright red UC luminescence from Er 3+ -sensitized NaLuF 4 crystals with 1532 nm NIR-II excitation may be suitable for deep optical imaging .

In this work, the application of near infrared (NIR)-emitting NaYbF 4 :1%Tm 3+ @NaLuF 4 :30%Nd 3+ core–shell nanoparticles is reported for noninvasive probing and monitoring the temperature during photopolymerization of dental materials. When excited at 808 nm, the synthesized nanoparticles emit NIR photoluminescence (PL) with two distinctive peaks at 865 and 980 nm which correspond to radiative transitions from the doped Nd 3+ and Yb 3+ ions, respectively. Luminescence intensity ratio between these two bands is found to vary with temperature due to temperature-dependent electronic excitation energy transfer between Nd 3+ and Yb 3+ ions at the core/shell interface. This finding allows luminescence ratiometric evaluation of the in situ temperature during photopolymerization of resin cement (doped with nanoparticles) in a veneer placement procedure. In addition, the NIR emission also enables PL imaging of the distribution of the adhesive under the veneer. The results highlight that rare-earth ions–doped nanoparticles with both excitation and emission in the NIR spectral range are advantageous for both PL-based nanothermometry and imaging due to the reduced attenuation of NIR light by dental ceramics.

Rare earth (RE3+)-doped NaY(MoO4)2 nanocrystals are efficient materials for realizing multicolor emission, which plays an important role in displays, W-LEDs, solar cells and biolabeling. Up to now, research on the multicolor tuning properties of RE3+-doped NaY(MoO4)2 nanoparticles has mostly focused on traditional preparation routes such as the hydrothermal method and sol–gel process. However, the products obtained using these methods are usually large in size (on the micron/submicron scale) and agglomeration problems are inevitable. With the development of nano optoelectronic devices and bioluminescence labeling, there is an urgent need to find an efficient method to prepare nanoscale, monodispersed and NaY(MoO4)2:RE3+ nanocrystals (NCs) with good crystallinity and stronger emission properties. In this work, we demonstrate a simple, fast, reproducible and one-step synthesis of NaY(MoO4)2:Eu3+ NCs with sizes varying from 1–20 nm via a ligand-assisted reprecipitation strategy. The reaction mechanism and emission intensities of NaY(MoO4)2:Eu3+ NCs with various morphologies have been discussed in detail. Furthermore, Tb3+ and Eu3+ ion co-doped NaY(MoO4)2 NCs were also prepared, and various emission colors were obtained and tuned from red, orange-red, yellow and yellow-green to green. Energy transfer between the Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions in the NaY(MoO4)2 host matrix has also been demonstrated. Finally, a highly efficient and stable NaY(MoO4)2:0.05Tb,0.04Eu NC-based W-LED device was built, which indicates the promising future application for this material in the field of lighting. The tunable multicolour emission, ease of preparation and nanosize reveal that NaY(MoO4)2:RE3+ NCs have a potential application in full color displays and W-LEDs.

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) are desired for optoelectronic and biomedical applications, while the development of target broadband NIR phosphors still remains a significant challenge. Herein, a kind of Cr 3+ -doped AlNbO 4 phosphors with a broad NIR emission ranging from 650 to 1400 nm under 450 nm excitation are reported. A giant red-shift emission peak from 866 to 1020 nm together with broadened full width at half-maximum of 320 nm is achieved simply by varying the doped Cr 3+ concentrations. Structural and spectroscopy analysis demonstrate that a concentration-dependent site-occupation of Cr 3+ emitters in different Al 3+ sites is responsible for the tunable NIR luminescence. The as-fabricated NIR pc-LED based on optimized AlNbO 4 :Cr 3+ phosphor exhibits great potential in night-vision applications. This work provides a novel design principle on the Cr 3+ -doped AlNbO 4 phosphor with tunable broadband luminescence from NIR-I to NIR-II, and these materials can be employed in NIR spectroscopy applications.

CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) are competitive materials for a wide range of applications because of their outstanding optoelectronic properties. Ion doping has been demonstrated as one powerful method for improving the optical properties of CsPbX 3 NCs. However, the conventional ion-doping approaches are tedious, and generally performed under an inert atmosphere and high temperature. In this work, a one-step ultrasonic-assisted approach is demonstrated to prepare doped CsPbX 3 NCs. To demonstrate the universality of the ultrasonic-assisted ion-doping approach, three ion-doped perovskite NCs are prepared, which represent three common improvements effects of ion doping on perovskite NCs, namely improved stability, PL emission, and photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of perovskite NCs. Sr-doped CsPbI 3 NCs showed improved phase stability. Mn-doped CsPbCl 3 NCs showed dual-color emissions at 406 and 580 nm. The PLQYs of the as-prepared Ni-doped CsPbCl 3 NCs are greatly improved, from 10.1% to 71%. Such a simple and versatile ion-doping approach may promote the practical applications of all-inorganic perovskite NCs.

Enhanced 1.8 μm emission from Tm 3+ by Yb 3+ sensitization and bubbling in tungsten tellurite glasses has been demonstrated under the excitation of a 976 nm laser diode . Radiative properties such as spontaneous emission probabilities, radiative lifetimes and fluorescence branching ratios along with absorption and emission cross sections have been calculated from the absorption spectra . The influences of Yb 3+ concentration, Tm 3+ concentration, and bubbling time on spectroscopic properties have been thoroughly investigated. It is found that with increasing the bubbling time to 35 min, OH − content deceases sharply while 1.8 μm emission intensity improves greatly and 3 F 4 level lifetime prolongs to 1.57 ms close to radiative time. After 35 min, they change very little due to almost reaching the dynamic balance. The strength of interaction between Tm 3+ and OH − is determined. The energy transfer mechanism between Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ is proposed by photoemission spectroscopy and lifetime measurement. The energy transfer coefficients have been analyzed by the extended spectral overlap method and hopping model. Large ratio of the forward energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Tm 3+ to the backward one (223) and high energy transfer efficiency (97%) from Yb 3+ to Tm 3+ ensure efficient 1.8 μm emission. Hence, Yb 3+ sensitization and the reduction of OH − content could be expected to open up a possibility to achieve high efficient 2.0 μm lasing from Tm 3+ under a 976 nm LD pump.

In this study, NaYTiO 4 : Yb/Tm phosphors with different concentrations of Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ ions were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. Upon a 980 nm laser excitation, the up-conversion luminescence properties in a wide temperature range (303–823 K) were investigated. By employing the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) techniques based on the robust near-infrared emissions of thermally coupled 3 F 2,3 / 3 H 4 energy levels and 3 H 4(1) / 3 H 4(2) Stark energy levels, the calculated absolute sensitivity (S a ), relative sensitivity (S r ), and temperature uncertainty (δT) values demonstrated good temperature sensing properties. For the 3 F 2,3 / 3 H 4 energy levels, the maximum S r and minimum δT values are 1.04% K −1 and 0.010 K at 463 K, respectively. Moreover, the maximum S a is 0.32 × 10 −3 K −1 at 823 K. In addition, the thermally coupled 3 H 4 Stark energy levels present the maximum S a , S r and the minimum δT are 0.88 × 10 −3 K −1 , 0.60% K −1 and 3.17 K at 303 K, respectively. Besides, due to the ratio of blue to red emission varying with elevated temperature, the NaYTiO 4 : Yb/Tm phosphors are expected to be applied as an intuitive high-temperature indicator.

Developing novel optical thermometry with ultrahigh relative sensitivity and temperature resolution has become a cutting-edge topic. For this purpose, under obeying Boltzmann distribution , a series of Li 2 Zn 0.9992-x A x Ge 3-y B y O 8 :0.08% Cr 3+ (B= Sc 3+ , In 3+ , A = Si 4+ ) phosphors were studied, which the luminescence intensity ratio between the transition of 4 T 2g → 4 A 2g emission and the R line based on thermally coupled energy levels constitutes a temperature sensing work with a relative sensitivity of 9.46% K −1 , 9.73% K −1 , and 10.38% K −1 , respectively. It is worth mentioning that the luminescence intensity of the R line (peak 1) increases significantly with the increase of temperature, while the transition of 4 T 2g → 4 A 2g (peak 2) with high intensity at low temperature gradually quenching, and this opposite trend is an important advantage for the design of excellent thermometers. Compared the best relative sensitivity of Li 2 Zn 0.9992-x A x Ge 3-y B y O 8 :0.08%Cr 3+ (B= Sc 3+ , In 3+ , A = Si 4+ ) with the crystal field Dq /B, it can be concluded that relative sensitivity increasing gradually with decreasing the intensity of crystal field. Finally, by testing the stability of the sample at 50 K, a thermal resolution of 0.082 K, 0.080 K and 0.077 K was obtained, respectively, which is one of the best thermal resolutions so far, while the repeatability of the sample stability at 50 K and 300 K cycles was higher than 99%. Our work is expected to provide guiding insights for optimizing the sensitivity of Cr 3+ -based luminescence intensity ratio thermometers.

A series of luminescent polymers are synthesized by incorporating rare earth complex units into polymer matrices. Firstly, we functionalize the selected polymer matrices with the imidazolium moieties, and then introduce the rare earth tetrakis(β-diketonate) complexes into polymer matrices through a mild anion exchange method. The resulting materials are characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDAX, SEM, thermogravimetric analysis, luminescence excitation spectra and emission spectra, luminescence lifetime measurements and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra. The photoluminescence measurements indicate that all these rare earth complex functionalized polymers exhibit a characteristic luminescence emission originating from the corresponding rare earth ions. Among the hybrids, the europium tetrakis(TTA) complex functionalized polymers show remarkable luminescence quantum yields and relatively long 5 D 0 lifetimes at room temperature.

The emerging applications of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technology in medicine and food security call for compact and efficient NIR light source such as NIR phosphor converted LEDs (pc-LED). Currently, most of the NIR phosphors suffer from low photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield and poor thermal or chemical stability. Herein, a fluoride garnet NIR Na 3 Al 2 Li 3 F 12 :Cr 3+ phosphor was successfully synthesized via coprecipitation method. It can be excited efficiently by blue or red light and shows a broad emission band covering 650–1000 nm (bandwidth of ~110 nm) with a PL quantum yield of 78%. The fine electronic structure of Cr 3+ ions in the host was revealed by the measurement of temperature-dependent (8–300 K) excitation and emission spectra analysis. Particularly, at 423 K, the Na 3 Al 2 Li 3 F 12 :5%Cr 3+ sample retained ~99% of the PL intensity at room temperature, exhibiting excellent PL thermal stability. A NIR pc-LED was fabricated by combining the Na 3 Al 2 Li 3 F 12 :5%Cr 3+ phosphor with a commercial blue LED chip, and radiant flux of 14.3 mW in NIR region was obtained at 60 mA drive current. Furthermore, the penetration of NIR light generated by this pc-LED in chicken breast was reached. The results suggested that Na 3 Al 2 Li 3 F 12 :Cr 3+ is a promising candidate for broadband pc-LED in NIR spectroscopy applications.

Post-fabrication defect passivation of organometal halide perovskites has become an efficient way to improve their photophysical properties, but the underlying mechanisms are still in debate. In this work, we used p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) to generate surface defects on methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite (MAPbI3), and found that a Usanovich acid–base (O2, acetone or acetonitrile) treatment can effectively passivate those defects and lead to photoluminescence (PL) enhancement. The passivation effect arose from partial neutralization of defect charges via electron transfer between passivation reagents and relevant defects. O2 accepted photo-generated electrons, formed negatively charged oxygen species and attached to the I vacancy site to reduce its PL quenching efficiency by neutralising the defects positive charge. Likewise, acetone accepted photo-generated holes, formed positively charged species and partially neutralised the defects negative charge. The reduced trapping ability of defects caused PL enhancement. In addition, the observed photo-catalysed oxidation of acetone by O2 on the crystal surface supported the single electron transfer mechanism, and showed the potential of MAPbI3 as a photo-catalyst.

Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskite has played an important role in optoelectronics and photonics due to their extremely high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). However, considering the strong nonmetallic property of antimony (Sb), the excitons in antimony-based single crystals are usually dissipated in the form of non-radiative recombination under organic-inductive effect, which leads to the low PLQY. Herein, two kinds of perovskite-like single crystals, i.e., (8-HQ) 2 SbCl 3 and (8-HQH)SbCl 4 , are innovatively grown. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the unique luminescence characteristics are associated with the inductive effect of organic coordination and exciton effect in the metal octahedral skeleton. When Cl − replaces the organic ligand in (8-HQ) 2 SbCl 3 , the inductive effect is reduced while the self-trapped exciton effect in the metal octahedron is enhanced. Besides, the theoretical research on electron transmission in a modeling device reveals that the hydrogen bond of organic A-site in the single crystal promotes the transition of electrons. Based on the luminescent properties of (8-HQH)SbCl 4 , the white LED devices are obtained by coating (8-HQH)SbCl 4 and red phosphor on 450 nm LED chips.
