Herein, a strong red upconversion phosphor of Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped Sc 6 WO 12 was prepared by employing an equivalent substitution approach. When irradiated by 980 nm near-infrared laser, the phosphor emits strong 660 nm red light. The main excitation mechanism for its red upconversion luminescence emission is the energy transfer process, through which the Er 3+ ions is promoted from the 4 I 13/2 energy level to the 4 F 9/2 energy level. In addition, it is noteworthy that the multimode upconversion luminescence phosphor exhibits three different trends upon temperature change, and its upconversion emission integral intensity ratio exhibits a linear relationship with temperature in the range of 298 K–623 K. This special property makes the phosphor promising for applications in optical temperature measurement.

Bi 2 O 3 phosphors co-doped with Yb 3+ and Er 3+ ions were successfully synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. Under 980 nm near-infrared laser excitation, Bi 2 O 3 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ phosphors emit strong red light at 658 nm and weak green light at 551 nm. The optimal doping concentrations of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ are 0.10 and 0.02, respectively. This composition results in a red-to-green intensity ratio of 157.6. The red emission is primarily driven by energy transfer, promoting Er 3+ from the 4 I 13/2 level to the 4 F 9/2 level [Yb 3+ ( 2 F 5/2 ) + Er 3+ ( 4 I 13/2 ) → Yb 3+ ( 2 F 7/2 ) + Er 3+ ( 4 F 9/2 )]. The cross-relaxation process lowers the photon population in the 4 F 7/2 level and raises the photon population in the 4 F 9/2 level, leading to the occurrence of a single-band red emission. This phosphor also demonstrates promising potential for optical temperature sensing. It exhibits a maximum relative sensitivity of 3.02 % K −1 at 298 K.

In this work, an anticancer drug delivery system based on curcumin-conjugated NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticles was developed. The as-prepared nanoconstruct consisting of uniform hexagonal nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 200 nm was synthesized.
A natural photosensitizer curcumin was loaded onto the nanoparticles through covalent interaction and physical adsorption. Drug loading efficiency was calculated and it turns out a high loading capacity of the as-prepared nanoparticles. Cytotoxity experiments of carboxylic acid-functionalized
UCNPs and curcumin-UCNPs were performed via MTT assay. The drug delivery system demonstrates the ability to be uptaken by three different kinds of cell lines (Human hepatocellular carcinoma Bel-7402 cells, Human SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells and Human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells) and to
generate reactive oxygen species upon the excitation of near-infrared light, so as to kill tumor cells. To sum up, such a drug delivery system exhibits good potential in cancer therapy.

A series of BiPO 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ samples with different concentrations of Sc 3+ ions were prepared by two different methods: one is solvothermal synthesis process and subsequent calcination route, and the other is solid-state reaction method. On one hand, hexagonal and monoclinic phases of BiPO 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ were successfully obtained by the above two synthesis methods, respectively, and the UC luminescence intensity depended a lot on the crystalline phases. On the other hand, the dual-wavelength sensitive UC emission properties of BiPO 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Sc 3+ were firstly investigated. It was found the UC emission intensity was significantly enhanced by introducing appropriate Sc 3+ ions to the system whether under excitation at 980 nm or 1550 nm. Moreover, the UC emission mechanisms under the excitation at 980 as well as 1550 nm were also proposed on the base of experimental results.

Enhancing upconversion luminescence in rare-earth materials through the plasmonic effects of precious metals has emerged as a highly effective strategy. In this study, we explore three distinct self-assembly techniques to fabricate alloy nano-film substrates using silver-coated gold (Au@Ag) core-shell nanoparticles, each with unique structural attributes. To enhance the upconversion luminescence of Er 3+ ions, we combine these substrates with NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles, creating NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Au@Ag composite nanostructures. The upconversion emission of Er 3+ ions is observably boosted when directly combined with Au@Ag nano-films of various structures under a 980 nm laser excitation. Surprisingly, incorporating a NaYF 4 inert shell as an isolating layer results in a remarkable 13.7-fold enhancement of upconversion luminescence in the NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ @NaYF 4 /Au@Ag composite structure relative to isolated NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles. The enhancement mechanism was carefully discussed based on spectral characteristics and luminous lifetime. It was found that the enhanced upconversion emission of nanoparticles on differently structured substrates is primarily driven by excitation enhancement. The composite rare-earth and metal nanoparticle structures fabricated in this investigation not only effectively enhance material spectral properties effectively but also streamline the process by employing an inert NaYF 4 shell as an isolation layer. This novel approach offers a promising avenue for developing efficient luminescent material systems.

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+ .

In this paper, Yb 3+ /Er 3+ , Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped β -NaYF 4 up-conversion fluorescent nanoparticles (UCNPs) with an average diameter of 50 nm were successfully synthesized through a thermal decomposition method. The Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped UCNPs possess bright and tunable luminescence varying from green to red as the ratio of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ doping increases. Remarkably, white up-conversion luminescence can be successfully achieved through the incorporation of Tm 3+ . The white light up-conversion efficiency of Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped UCNPs dispersed in the solvent have been calculated, suggesting the potentials of the efficient white up-conversion emissions for the multispectral imaging and potential bio-applications.

The iron ion in industrial circulating cooling water is an important indicator for early warning of equipment corrosion and control level. It is interesting to construct an upconversion luminescence iron ion nanoprobe with a common inorganic phosphate water treatment agent. Herein, inorganic phosphate sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was used to regulate the morphology and functionalization of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ upconversion luminescent nanoprobe (UCNPs) and applied to fluorometric detection of trace Fe(III) in water based on the fluorescence quenching which is caused by the selective coordination between hexametaphosphate on the surface of UCNPs and Fe(III). The structure, morphology, and luminous intensity of UCNPs were regulated by disodium hydrogen phosphate (ADSP), sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP). The UCNPs functionalized with SHMP has high sensitivity and selectivity for Fe(III) detection. The linear range and detection limit are 1.0–50 μM and 0.2 μM, respectively. The method has satisfactory results for the detection of trace Fe(III) in industrial circulating cooling water.

The Sc 3+ ions doped NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ upconversion (UC) nanoparticles are synthesized by thermal decomposition method. We successfully obtained the upconversion luminescence (UCL) nanoparticles from green emission to red emission through doping Sc 3+ ions with different concentrations. Based on the XRD, the phase change process of Sc 3+ ions doped NaYF 4 nanocrystalline phase were demonstrated. More importantly, through the analysis of UC spectrum data, the change in the phase of the NaY/ScF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanocrystalline corresponds to the change in its luminous properties. It determines that the change of crystal field will lead to the change of luminescence, and then modulate the luminescence. NaScF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ UC nanoparticles exhibit strong red light emission. In addition, the temperature-sensitive properties of the optimal doping concentration of Sc 3+ ion were tested. The sensitivity of NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ , Er 3+ nanoparticles doped with Sc 3+ ion reached the maximum value of 0.024 K − 1 at 498 K. The nanocrystalline has great application value in the fields of optical temperature measurement, biomedicine, bioprobes and colorful display.

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit excellent tunable emissions covering the entire visible spectral region, but they do not emit near-infrared (NIR) light. We synthesized rare earth element doped CsPbCl3 NCs for NIR emission. The Yb3+ doped CsPbCl3 NCs emitted strong 986 nm NIR light; the Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped CsPbCl3 NCs emitted at 1533 nm. The total photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) of the CsPbCl3 NCs changed from 5.0% to 127.8% upon incorporating 2.0% Yb3+, a factor of 25.6 times enhancement. The material's stability was tested under continuous ultraviolet (365 nm) irradiation. The doped CsPbCl3 NCs exhibited a better stability than the undoped one. The PL intensity of the undoped CsPbCl3 NCs dropped to 20% of the initial value in 27 h, while the doped one took 85 h.

Lanthanide (Ln 3+ )-doped upconversion nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted great attention due to their outstanding luminescent performance and wide applications in various fields. However, the preparation of most Ln 3+ -doped NCs requires rigorous conditions such as high reaction temperature, long reaction time, strict anhydrous and oxygen-free environment, and tedious post-treatment process. Herein, sub-100 nm Yb 3+ /Er 3+ codoped K 3 ZrF 7 octahedral NCs are prepared by an extremely simple coprecipitation method (10 s only at room temperature). The resulting NCs show excellent upconversion luminescence (UCL), significantly superior to both their conventional high-temperature-synthesized counterparts and the room-temperature-synthesized NaBiF 4 :Yb/Er controls. More importantly, abnormal thermally enhanced UCL over a temperature range from room temperature to 473 K is found in these K 3 ZrF 7 :Yb/Er NCs, making them promising candidates for ratiometric thermometry applications. By employing the luminescence intensity ratio between two non-thermally coupled energy levels of Er 3+ , namely 4 F 9/2 and 2 H 11/2 , these NCs display an extraordinarily high absolute sensitivity of 443.2% K −1 and a comparatively large relative sensitivity of 1.55% K −1 at room temperature. These results reveal that K 3 ZrF 7 :Yb/Er NCs can not only be facilely prepared via an ultrafast room-temperature synthesis, but also hold great potential in various areas such as optical temperature sensing and biological applications.
