The 2 at.% Yb 3+ :Sr 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (S-FAP) polycrystalline transparent ceramic with asymmetric hexagonal structures has been synthesized by vacuum hot-pressing the nanoparticles prepared via coprecipitation method. X-ray diffraction results of powder and ceramic indicate that their phase peaks are well matched to the crystal structure of S-FAP. The average particle size of 35.5 nm has been exhibited by powder scanning electron microscopy images, and subsequent images of the ceramic cross section and surface morphology revealed a homogenous and compact microstructure with an average grain size of around 220 nm. The relationship between the optical loss caused by the scattering of anisotropic ceramic grains and the optical transmittance of ceramics was revealed in the hexagonal S-FAP transparent ceramics with different thicknesses. The in-line transmittance of hot-pressed ceramics with 1.5-mm thickness achieved 79.95% at 1100-nm wavelength, and the room-temperature absorption and emission spectra of Yb 3+ in S-FAP polycrystalline ceramic matrix were measured using a spectrofluorometer.

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.

Photodynamic therapy needing ultraviolet (UV) in deep tissue is hindered due to the low biological tissue penetration ability of UV light. Here, we demonstrate a persistent ultraviolet-emitting phosphor, LiLuGeO4:Bi3+,Yb3+, which can be re-stimulated by near infrared (NIR) light. Yb3+-doping significantly enhances the trap density without changing the thermoluminescence peak positions. The phosphor can be effectively activated by a 254 nm lamp and exhibits prominent persistent luminescence peaking at 350 nm. The decay time can be recorded much longer than 15 h. This phosphor exhibits simulated in vivo photostimulated persistent luminescence after a longtime decay by using in vitro NIR light penetrating biological tissue. Combined with CaAlSiN3:Eu2+, red persistent luminescence from Eu2+ is obtained. LiLuGeO4:Bi3+,Yb3+ makes up the shortage of excellent UVA persistent phosphors. It is expected to have potential applications as an in vivo renewable excitation source to trigger photosensitizers or fluorescent probes when used for biophotonic applications.

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+ .

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.

Hexagonal Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped LaZrTa 3 O 11 (LZTO) phosphor was prepared by molten salt synthesis with B 2 O 3 flux. Holding temperature, holding time, solute and solvent ratio were regulated. The green upconversion luminescence (UCL) integral intensity of the optimal sample can reach 29.2% of β-NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ under 980 nm laser excitation. This outstanding pure green UCL is due to the low phonon energy, Er 3+ /Yb 3+ monolayer (2D) distribution, asymmetry of Er 3+ /Yb 3+ doped lattice sites, and low oxygen vacancy. The maximum relative temperature sensitivity attains 0.01221 K −1 at 303 K by employing luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique. LZTO:Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphor can be used in temperature sensing.

Alkaline zirconium fluorides (A x Zr y F x+y , A = Li, Na, and K), featuring unique crystallographic structures, have recently emerged as a class of attractive hosts for fabricating lanthanide (Ln 3+ )-doped upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) that exhibited distinct morphology, upconversion luminescence (UCL) performance, and physicochemical property. In this paper, for the first time the controlled preparation of Yb 3+ /Er 3+ -doped UCNCs is reported based on the trigonal Cs 2 ZrF 6 host, leading to tunable morphology and size of the resulting UCNCs by varying the reaction temperature and time. By further incorporating Na + ions into the Cs 2 ZrF 6 crystal lattice, sub-10 nm Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Na + tridoped UCNCs with highly improved crystallinity and thus greatly enhanced UCL intensity are obtained. Moreover, these resulting UCNCs display abnormal thermal enhancement of UCL over a temperature range from 333 to 493 K, enabling the fabrication of supersensitive luminescent nanothermometers for temperature sensing. Based on the luminescence intensity ratio of two nonthermally coupled levels (i.e., 4 F 9/2 and 2 H 11/2 ) of Er 3+ , the as-prepared Cs 2 ZrF 6 :Yb/Er/Na UCNCs exhibit an extremely large absolute sensitivity of 177.3% K −1 and a considerably high relative sensitivity of 1.52% K −1 at 333 K. These results unambiguously demonstrate that Cs 2 ZrF 6 is a suitable host material for preparing small-sized Ln 3+ -doped UCNCs as nanothermometer for high-performance ratiometric temperature sensing.

A series of Nd3+/Yb3+ co-doped Ca2LaTaO6 (CLTO) phosphors are synthesized by a high temperature solid phase method. Structural characterization confirms the successful incorporation of Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions into the CLTO host lattice. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CLTO:Nd3+ and CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ are investigated in detail. Under the excitation of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light, the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ phosphor emits broadband near infrared (NIR) luminescence. In particular, the luminescence intensity of the Yb3+ ion is increased through an energy transfer (ET) process from Nd3+ to Yb3+. The luminescence mechanism of the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ sample is analyzed based on the decay lifetime and PL spectra. In addition, the NIR emission intensity of Yb3+ ions is also enhanced by doping K+ ions. The broadband luminescence (850–1050 nm) of the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+/K+ phosphor has good application in solar cells and anti-counterfeiting.
