NIR light accounts for 50% of total solar energy, but only a small amount of the energy is applied to photocatalytic reactions. The incorporation of upconversion nanoparticles with semiconductor materials is an effective tactics to exploit NIR-driven photocatalyst . In this work, we report a composite material that can convert NIR light into UV–Vis photons. The light conversion material is composed of NaBiF 4 : Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ up-conversion nanocrystals . The petal-like Bi 2 WO 6 is used as a semiconductor photocatalyst to directly degrade model pollutants, such as RhB. By controlling the morphology of Bi 2 WO 6 , the contact area between the semiconductor photocatalyst and the pollutant molecules is increased. The preparation of “double bismuth” composite material NaBiF 4 :Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ /Bi 2 WO 6 provides the possibility to make full use of sunlight. Under the excitation of simulated sunlight, the photocatalyst of NaBiF 4 :Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ /Bi 2 WO 6 reaches the highest degradation efficiency of 98% in 27 min. Compared with Bi 2 WO 6 , the prepared composite photocatalyst shows better photocatalytic performance, which is attributed to the effective energy transfer between NaBiF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ and Bi 2 WO 6 . The capture tests were used to detect active species used in the degradation process. After four continuous photocatalytic cycles, about 95% of RhB solution is degraded. Under the simulated solar light illumination, the photocatalytic mechanism of the composite photocatalyst is discussed. The results propose a promising system to improve the photocatalytic activity through the efficient use of sunlight.

Manganese-zinc ferrite is a kind of very important magnetic ferrite material. The properties of wide absorption band, sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light and tumor H 2 O 2 promise it to be possibly used as a photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) agent. Based on the unique advantages of rare-earth doped nanoparticles , an Er 3+ , Tm 3+ co-doped upconversion-mediated nanosystem with manganese-zinc ferrite shell (named as UCNPS@M) was developed through a facile thermal co-decomposition method. The final nanosystems were surface-modified by using dopamine hydrochloride (DA) in order to warrant good biocompatibility (named as UCNPS@M@DA). Under irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) light, UCNPS emit both ultraviolet and visible light. The UV light is mostly absorbed by manganese-zinc ferrite shell to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is essential to the potential PDT and CDT effect of nanosystems, and at the same time, Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 can further react with H 2 O 2 to promote the efficiency of •OH-generation. It is expected that UCNPS@M@DA can act as upconversion luminescence imaging guidance due to the visible emission from UCNPS. In addition, the energy absorbed by the nanosystems can be transferred to heat to realize photothermal effect. Moreover, UCNPS@M@DA was successfully applied as a T 1 / T 2 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent due to the existence of Gd, Mn, and Fe elements. In light of the upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging from the UCNPS as well as potential PTT, PDT, CDT effect mentioned above, this work provides a possibility to realize cancer multi-model bioimaging guided treatment by using an all-in-one diagnosis and therapy nanosystem through a simple yet powerful strategy.

Gd3+ and Tm3+ doped Prussian blue (Gd/Tm–PB) with high uniformity and dispersibility was synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The conditions for the synthesis of Gd/Tm–PB were explored. Through the regulation of the ratio of Gd3+/Tm3+, the Gd/Tm–PB particles with the optimal size (about 150–200 nm) and the best fluorescence and photothermal effect were obtained. On the basis of the optimal Gd/Tm–PB, further coated by polydopamine (PDA) functionalized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a multifunctional platform Gd/Tm–PB@ZIF-8/PDA for cancer diagnosis and treatment was established. Doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as a drug model and the drug loading of Gd/Tm–PB@ZIF-8/PDA was found to be 81 mg g−1. Cytotoxicity analysis indicated that Gd/Tm–PB@ZIF-8/PDA was highly biocompatible. The DOX release at different pH values and GSH concentrations revealed an excellent pH/GSH-triggered drug release. Through the combination of the near infrared photothermal performance of Gd/Tm–PB, chemo-photothermal therapy can be achieved to further improve the anti-cancer efficiency. In addition, the Gd/Tm–PB@ZIF-8/PDA nanoparticles can be tracked by fluorescence imaging (FOI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cell FOI and in vivo MRI experiments showed the potential application of Gd/Tm–PB@ZIF-8/PDA in dual mode imaging guided therapy. In vivo antitumor experiments demonstrated the higher anticancer efficacy of Gd/Tm–PB@ZIF-8/PDA with a combined effect of chemo-photothermal therapy. This work provides a new strategy for nano-drug carriers in the direction of integrated diagnosis and treatment.

Germanate laser glasses have received much attention as a promising host materials for mid-infrared fiber lasers in recent years because of the outstanding infrared transparency, low phonon energy, and high rare earth solubility of such glasses. However, the development of high-performance germanate laser glasses is usually based on intuition and a trial-and-error method, which can involve long experimental periods and high costs, and thus, this approach is highly inefficient. Recently, with proposals for materials genome engineering, the concept of the “glass genome” has grown of interest to us. Herein, the structures of Tm 3+ -doped germanate laser glasses (BaO–GeO 2 and BaO–La 2 O 3 –GeO 2 ) were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and Raman spectra analyses, which revealed that the resulting glass contains similar structural groups to the neighboring congruently melted glassy compounds (NCMGCs) in the composition diagram. What is more, the structure and properties of the resulting laser glasses largely depend on NCMGCs. Then, the glass-forming region, physical properties, and luminescence properties were calculated via the use of NCMGCs in Tm 3+ -doped BaO–GeO 2 binary and BaO–La 2 O 3 –GeO 2 ternary laser glass systems. The calculated results were in good agreement with the experimental results, thus demonstrating that our approach is practical for predicting the glass-forming region, physical properties, and luminescence properties in Tm 3+ -doped BaO–GeO 2 binary and BaO–La 2 O 3 –GeO 2 ternary laser glass systems. This work may provide an effective method to develop Tm 3+ -doped germanate laser glasses rapidly and at low cost.

To effectively enhance the utilization of clean sunlight energy, harvesting a large percentage of near infrared (NIR) light is significant. One of the commonly used effective methods for modifying semiconductors is by co-doping upconversion materials on semiconductors to heighten the photocatalytic efficiency. In this work, Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped InVO4 nanosheets were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal path, and the crystal phases, morphologies, surface chemical compositions, as well as optical properties were characterized. Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped InVO4 revealed significantly enhanced photoactivity towards chromium(VI) reduction and methyl orange oxidation under visible or NIR light irradiation. Furthermore, 5YT-IV presented the highest electrocatalytic performance and photocatalytic production of H2O2 under visible light irradiation, requiring low overpotential and low Tafel slope (390 mV dec−1) for hydrogen evolution reaction than that of the bare InVO4 (731 mV dec−1), and as well improved the yield of photocatalytic H2O2 production by about 3.5 times. This was primarily ascribed to intensive light absorption resulting from the benign upconversion energy transfer of Yb3+/Tm3+ and the boosted charge separation caused by the intermediate energy states. Moreover, the presence of h+ and ˙O2− as the main oxidative species played a significant role during the photocatalytic oxidation process of methyl orange and electrons played a decisive role in Cr(VI) reduction. This study provides a promising platform for efficiently utilizing the visible-NIR energy of sunlight in the field of photocatalytic H2O2 production and for alleviating environmental pollution in future.

The efficient NIR-to-NIR upconverter of LiYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ (simplified as LYF:Yb,Tm) was synthesized by a modified hydrothermal method in this work. The synthesized LYF:Yb,Tm has well controlled morphology of monodisperse micrometer sized octahedrons. XRD pattern confirms its pure tetragonal LiYF 4 structure. The LYF:Yb,Tm exhibits a dominating NIR UC emission at ~793 nm along with relative weak blue and red UC emissions under 976 nm LD excitation. The optimal concentrations of Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ ions for NIR up-conversion (UC) emission are 20 mol% and 0.6 mol%, respectively. The internal UC quantum yield (IUCQY) of this LYF:Yb,Tm in NIR band is tested to be 5.1% at 959 nm LD excitation power density (PD) of 120 W/cm 2 . The UC emission mechanism is discussed based on UC fluorescent behaviors of Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ . The results of fluorescent labeling indicate its potential applications in fluorescent markers, solar cells and 3D flat panel displays .

Tm 3+ doped Bi 2 O 3 -GeO 2 -Na 2 O glass samples were synthesized by conventional melt-quenching method. The Raman spectra measurements showed the maximum phonon energy of prepared glass is 794 cm −1 , which is considerably lower than silicate glasses . Based on the measured absorption spectra , Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters, spontaneous radiative transition probabilities and radiative lifetimes were calculated to elucidate the radiative properties of Tm 3+ in the presented glass. Intense near infrared emission around ~2 μm was obtained under the pump of 808 nm laser diode . A large stimulated emission cross section (5.51 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 1851 nm) of Tm 3+ : 3 F 4 → 3 H 6 was achieved in the prepared bismuth germanate glass doped with 1 mol% Tm 2 O 3 . Besides, the energy transfer processes among Tm 3+ were analyzed using the extended overlap integral method. These results indicate that the presented glass is a promising candidate for ~2 μm laser applications.

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) single crystals doped with Tm 2 O 3 , Ho 2 O 3 , and Yb 2 O 3 were prepared by the optical floating zone method in order to investigate the effects of varying the Tm 3+ , Ho 3+ , Yb 3+ contents on the luminescence properties. All samples were shown by powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) to be in the cubic phase at room temperature with good crystallinity , and the optical bandwidth of about 4.63 eV indicates their suitability for the development of luminescence products. The blue emission peaks from Tm 3+ following excitation with a 980 nm (1.33 eV) laser increased with Tm 3+ content reached a maximum in the crystal with 0.30 mol% Tm 2 O 3 , and then decreased with higher Tm 3+ concentrations as a result of quenching caused by electric dipole interactions. The ratio of the integral intensities of the green emission peaks at 2.42 eV (539 nm) and 2.36 eV (552 nm) indicate that the probability of the non-radiative transition from the 5 F 4 level of Ho 3+ to the 5 S 2 level decreases with increasing Tm 3+ concentration. This research also demonstrates that there was competition between Ho 3+ and Tm 3+ for the transfer of energy from excited Yb 3+ , and that there was also direct transfer of energy from Ho 3+ to Tm 3+ . Thus, in YSZ doped with a combination of rare earth ions , the luminescence properties are determined by a combination of energy transfer processes between the different types of rare earth ions, as well as those for the individual ions, and thus presents an opportunity for fine tuning emissions from such crystals to produce a new generation of materials with intense luminescence properties.

A series of Tm 3+ /Dy 3+ /Eu 3+ single and co-doped LiNbO 3 color tunable phosphors were synthesized via the solid-state reaction. The phase structure, microscopic topography, optical characteristics, decay lifetimes, energy transfer processes，and thermal stability were comprehensively characterized through combined X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscope, and advanced spectroscopic methodologies. Following further in-depth analysis, the optimal concentration of dopant ions was determined, and the energy transfer effect between activators in the LiNbO 3 matrix was confirmed. The CIE demonstrated that adjusting the doping concentration of rare earth ions makes it possible to achieve polychromatic tunable light, as well as cool and warm white light. Crucially, Li 0.95 NbO 3 :0.01Tm 3+ /0.02Dy 3+ /0.02Eu 3+ phosphor exhibited remarkable thermal stability, maintaining 97.1 % of its initial strength at temperatures of 423 K. Additionally, WLEDs that have been coated with the aforementioned phosphor on a 365 nm NUV chip emit bright white light, exhibiting a color rendering index of 81.3 and correlated color temperature of 5426 K. It is powerfully suggested that the LiNbO 3 :Tm 3+ /Dy 3+ /Eu 3+ phosphors has the potential to become a new choice for WLED application.

12CaO · 7Al2O3 doped with lanthanide is characterized by remarkable and technologically important up-conversion emission. However, the low up-conversion efficiency still remains the main limitation for practical applications. To improve the efficiency, bivalent alkaline earth ions (Mg2+, Sr2+, Ba2+)-tridoped Tm3+/Yb3+/12CaO · 7Al2O3 were synthesized through a high-temperature solid-state reaction. The up-conversion luminescence properties of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, fluorescence spectral measurement pump power, and fluorescence decay curves. The luminescence intensity of samples was significantly enhanced by bivalent alkaline earth ions. 12CaO · 7Al2O3 doped with Sr2+ ions has stronger effects on up-conversion enhancement, which is better than Mg2+ and Ba2+. The up-conversion emission intensity was enhanced by 318 times and the red emission intensity by 218 times with 10 mol% Sr2+ ion. Additionally, the blue and red up-conversion emission peaks at 475 and 650 nm corresponding to energy transitions of 1G4 → 3H6 and 1G4 → 3F4, 3F2 → 3H6 were characterized using steady-state rate equations.

Pure β-KYF4 nanocrystals codoped with Er3+/Yb3+ and Tm3+/Yb3+ were successfully synthesized via the thermal decomposition of trifluoroacetate precursors using oleic acid and octadecylene as coordinating solvents. The up-conversion optical properties of the β-KYF4 nanocrystals with different lanthanide (Ln)-doped ions (Yb3+/Er3+, Yb3+/Tm3+) were investigated. It is found that the colloidal dispersion of β-KYF4:Yb,Er/Tm nanocrystals display strong multiple up-conversion emission spanning from the deep UV-to-NIR regions under 980 nm excitation. Pure β-KYF4 nanocrystals codoped with Er3+/Yb3+ and Tm3+/Yb3+ can emit bright blue, green, yellow, and red emissions visible to the naked eye by adjusting the concentrations of Yb3+ sensitizer ion and Er3+ or Tm3+ activator ions. Moreover, the UC luminescent colors can be tuned for the four colors from blue to green to yellow and finally to red emission in the β-KYF4:X%Yb3+/(0.2%–2%)Er3+ and β-KYF4:25%Yb3+/0.2%Tm3+ colloidal samples. This work substantially expands our understanding of this category of KYF4 upconversion nanocrystals.

Multimodal luminescence has emerged as a promising solution in the realm of anti-counterfeiting techniques, which have gained global attention due to their association with information and data security. The conventional approach to achieving multimodal luminescence typically involves combining upconversion and downshifting luminescence, which necessitates the use of external excitation sources and costly detection equipment. Herein, we develop an anti-counterfeiting strategy based on the afterglow performance of NaLuF 4 : Gd, Tm nanoparticles after X-ray excitation. The X-ray-induced Frenkel defects-base traps ensnare electrons with low kinetic energy, resulting in the creation of persistent photon traps that are responsible for the temperature-dependent afterglow intensity. The dual-band and thermo-enhanced afterglow emission can encrypt information well according to our proof-of-concept experiment and the visible light signal can be successfully captured by a smartphone camera. These unique features of NaLuF 4 : Gd, Tm nanoparticles render them highly appealing for multilevel anti-counterfeiting applications.
