Developing a secure and unclonable anti-counterfeiting technology with more dimensional encryptions is urgently demanded. All-inorganic halide perovskites hold great potential for applications in advanced fluorescence anti-counterfeiting owing to their superior optical properties, such as tunable emission colors, narrow emission peaks, etc. By further utilizing the feasibility of anion exchange for perovskite halides, this research successfully designs five-dimensional (5D) anti-counterfeiting barcodes with core–shell-like structured perovskite-like oxide and perovskite halide composites. The composites are prepared by a facile synthesis method, which includes adhesive growth of Cs(Pb x Mn 1-x )(Cl y Br 1-y ) 3 on the surface of CsCa 2 Ta 3 O 10 : Yb, Er (abbreviated as CCTO: Yb, Er@CsMX 3 ) via sharing Cs + at the interface. The unique structure makes it possess sensitivity to some additive decrypted inks, offering one more intriguing anti-counterfeiting dimension beyond the common dual-mode fluorescence and time-gating technique. The CCTO: Yb, Er@CsMX 3 composites exhibit typical green upconversion (UC) luminescence under a 980 nm laser, red or green or blue (RGB) emission under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation, ns-ms emission decay time, and changeable emission color when treated with decrypted inks. The fluorescent inks and barcodes are simple for fabrication, efficient for coding, easy for viewing and difficult for cloning, making them promising for anti-counterfeiting applications.

Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), an anthraquinone-based antibiotic, is widely used in human tumors treatment. However, the residues of DOX in body would pose a threat to the health of heart and liver. Herein, a photochemical sensor NaYF 4 :Yb/Tm@NaYF 4 :Yb-Cit-CD (UCNPs) for detecting DOX has been developed in this paper. The fluorescence emission spectrum of UCNPs under 980 nm laser excitation has a wide range overlap with UV–vis absorption spectrum of DOX. Therefore, the fluorescence emission of UCNPs at 480 nm can be quenched by DOX. The UCNPs sensor has displayed a linear range of 0.05–20 μg/mL with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.005 μg/mL for DOX. Furthermore, the results of recovery for DOX in human serum samples is 98.68–104.20% and in accord with those obtained by HPLC and UV–vis.

KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :Ln 3+ (Ln = Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Dy/Eu, Yb/Ho, Yb/Er, Yb/Tm) phosphors were synthesized by high temperature solid state method. Doping the KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 matrix with 5%Dy 3+ ions resulted in white light emission under 345 nm excitation. The calculated color temperature (CCT) of this white light is 5523 K, indicating as positive white light. It was found that the luminous intensity of the obtained KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :5%Dy 3+ at 200 °C was 76.80 % of that at room temperature, showing good thermal stability as well as possibility of application in white LED. Under the excitation at 392 nm, the fluorescence quantum yield of KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :10%Eu 3+ is 79.92 %. Energy transfer between Dy 3+ and Eu 3+ is observed in KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :Dy 3+ /Eu 3+ samples, with identified mechanism as the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. Tunable luminescence ranging from white to yellow then to orange-red is achieved by adjusting the doping concentration of Eu 3+ in KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :5%Dy 3+ , x%Eu 3+ . Under the excitation of 980 nm near-infrared light, the prepared KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ , KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ and KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 :Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ samples showed up-conversion emissions of red, yellow and blue, respectively, with two-photon processes. In KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 matrix, multi-color and multi-security marks were successfully prepared by utilizing up/down conversion luminescence characteristics, which obtained good anti-counterfeiting effect and improved anti-counterfeiting security. Therefore, the obtained KSrGd(PO 4 ) 2 : Ln 3+ phosphors exhibit promising application prospects in the fields of WLED and multiple anti-counterfeiting.

Spectral CT can overcome the shortcomings of conventional CT, however, clinically used iodized contrast agents are not ideal for spectral CT imaging, which calls for the development of novel contrast agent with high attenuation coefficient. In this study, a small molecule lanthanide chelate Ytterbium-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (Yb-DOTA) was prepared by a simple and green one-step method, and it had multi-advantages such as good stability, excellent biocompatibility and high performance of spectral CT imaging in vitro and in vivo. In addition, Yb-DOTA had more prominent ability to visualize renal tissue, GI tract, the heart and venous system in both conventional and spectral CT imaging compared with clinical iohexol. Moreover, higher tissue contrast and enhanced sensitivity were achieved at high monochromatic energies (70–150 keV) after Yb-DOTA administration, indicating its superior spectral CT imaging performance. Yb-DOTA is expected to be a novel contrast agent to enhance the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy.

Using ion doping to engineer sulfur vacancies over metal sulfides is an effective method to improve photocatalytic properties, such vacancies form the center of the electron-captured state to promote the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. In this research, Yb/Er co-doped bulk Cd0.5Zn0.5S (CZS) was fabricated by a one-step simple hydrothermal process, and used for evaluating the catalytic activity for aquatic hydrogen production under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the Cd0.5Zn0.5S:Yb(15%), Er obtained exhibited a higher efficient photocatalytic activity of hydrogen evolution, in which the efficiency of Cd0.5Zn0.5S:Yb(15%), Er (422.0 μmol g−1 h−1) was 2.7 times higher than that of bare Cd0.5Zn0.5S (154.7 μmol g−1 h−1). This can be attributed to the augmented active surface area, the broadened spectral absorption of visible light and the facilitation of the separated efficiency of the photogenerated carriers. This finding provides a simple way to activate the metal-chalcogenides with S-vacancies for optimizing the photocatalytic performance.

Temperature is one of the physical parameters that affects the emission luminescence properties of upconversion (UC) materials. Temperature-dependent emission color tuning and good temperature sensitivity in multifunctional β-NaYF4:Yb/Er@β-NaYF4:Yb/Tm microcrystals were achieved under 980 nm excitation. Based on the different emission bands (blue, green and red bands) and spectral sensitivities of the core–shell structured microcrystals to temperature, intense white-light emission was obtained at room temperature and a real-time naked-eye recognizable emission color change from white to the purplish-pink region was realized with the temperature increasing from 300 to 500 K. Furthermore, optical temperature sensing properties of the sample with good sensitivity (from 0.0034 to 0.0044 K−1) were investigated by using a fluorescence intensity ratio between 521 nm (2H11/2 → 4I15/2 transition) and 540 nm (4S3/2 → 4I15/2 transition) in the temperature range from 300 to 500 K. The results indicate that the sample has high sensitivity in a relatively wide range of temperature intervals, especially in the low temperature region. We believe that the multifunctional core–shell structured microcrystals exhibit promising applications in white-light emitting diodes, the anti-counterfeiting field, and temperature sensing.

Graphical NaGdF 4 ,Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 ,Yb,Tm@NaYF 4 core@shell@shell three-layer structure of upconversion nanoparticles coated with Fe−TCPP metal-organic frameworks nanocomposite was designed and constructed for multimodal imaging and synergetic chemodynamic therapy/photodynamic therapy of tumors. Here, NaGdF 4 ,Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 ,Yb,Tm@NaYF 4 core@shell@shell three-layer structure of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coated with Fe−Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (TCPP) metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) nanocomposite (UCNPs@MOFs) was designed and constructed for multimodal imaging and synergetic chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors. The UCNPs@MOFs were successfully applied for tumor cells imaging in vitro and in vivo in near-infrared (NIR) region. The doped Gd was used as contrast agent for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of mouse tumors. The luminescence in the UV-vis region was absorbed by the Fe-MOFs to produce singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) for PDT. The Fe 3+ doped in the MOFs can catalyze H 2 O 2 to produce oxygen and hydroxyl radical (⋅OH). Hydroxyl radical is used in CDT and cooperates with the 1 O 2 of PDT. Based on the CDT/PDT synergistic effects, the UCNPs@MOFs nanocomposite had obviously enhanced tumor inhibitory efficiency in vivo. These results described that the asprared UCNPs@MOFs nanocomposite have great potential in the effective multimodal imaging and treatment of tumors.

This paper focuses on the study of core-shell rare earth NaLuF 4 :Yb,Er@NaLuF 4 :Yb,Tm@NaLuF 4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with multispectral emission for applications in the field of ratiometric temperature sensors. This approach lays the foundation for exploring more luminous intensity ratios (LIRs) between different spectra for temperature sensing. Additionally, it facilitates the use of different LIRs for various temperatures, yielding higher sensitivity. Under 980 nm laser excitation, these UCNPs produce multispectral luminescence covering blue, green, red, and infrared luminescence intervals. Within the temperature range of 293–473 K, we measured the luminescence intensity of different emission peaks and observed that the 803 nm peak exhibits an anomalous thermal enhancement effect. The LIR between the luminescence intensities of different emission peaks is fitted using formulas to calculate the absolute sensitivity ( S a ), relative sensitivity ( S r ), uncertainty ( ΔT ), and repeatability ( R ) of the corresponding LIR. Comparisons revealed that LIR(I 803 /I 540 ) demonstrates greater S a compared to the other LIRs. Furthermore, the S r of LIR(I 803 /I 540 ) is higher in the elevated temperature range, whereas LIR(I 522 /I 540 ) shows greater values in the lower temperature range. By combining the advantages of these two LIRs at different temperatures, LIR(I 522 /I 540 ) is utilized at low temperatures and LIR(I 803 /I 540 ) at high temperatures, achieving a combined S r of 0.67–1.06 %K −1 and a combined ΔT of less than 0.045. The R of LIR(I 803 /I 540 ) is tested and found to be greater than 99 % averaged over five cycles. In summary, the NaLuF 4 :Yb,Er@NaLuF 4 :Yb,Tm@NaLuF 4 UCNPs proposed in this paper demonstrate potential applications in the field of temperature sensing.

Core–shell–shell heterostructures of α-NaLuF4:Yb/Er@NaLuF4:Yb@MF2 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) have been successfully fabricated via the thermal decomposition method. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectroscopy, etc. Under 980 nm excitation, the emission intensities of the UCNPs are remarkably enhanced after coating the MF2 (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) shell. Among these samples, CaF2 coated UCNPs show the strongest overall emission, while BaF2 coated UCNPs exhibit the longest lifetime. These results demonstrate that alkaline earth metal fluorides are ideal materials to improve the UCL properties. Meanwhile, although the lattice mismatch between the ternary NaREF4 core and the binary MF2 (M = Sr and Ba) shell is relatively large, the successfully synthesized NaLuF4:Yb/Er@NaLuF4:Yb@MF2 indicates a new outlook on the fabrication of heterostructural core–shell UCNPs.

Semiconductor photocatalysis is a promising strategy for wastewater treatment. However, a limited photoresponse range, rapid recombination of photoinduced charge carriers, poor stability, and other problems have posed obstacles to practical applications. Herein, a facile strategy to fabricate a near-infrared-driven broadband photocatalyst was developed by anchoring the core–shell nanostructure of NaYF4:Yb,Tm@NaYF4:Yb,Nd@TiO2 (Tm@Nd@TiO2) onto the surface of porous silica/carbon (mSC) electrospun fibers. The Tm@Nd@TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited strong near-infrared light absorption and energy transfer from the NaYF4:Yb,Tm@NaYF4:Yb,Nd core to the TiO2 shell, triggering the photocatalytic reaction. In addition, the interconnected mesoporous structure and carbon network of Tm@Nd@TiO2/mSC was found to be beneficial in improving the adsorption capacity toward organic pollutants, promoting the separation of photogenerated carriers, and further improving the overall photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO2/mSC nanocomposite was evaluated by degrading methyl orange solution in the visible-near-infrared and simulated sunlight regions. The Tm@Nd@TiO2/mSC nanocomposite exhibited excellent adsorption performance. The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO2/mSC was found to be 3 times higher than that of bare Tm@Nd@TiO2 over 60 min.

Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 exhibits ferromagnetic and magnetic properties , which are expected to exert a discernible influence on the thermoelectric properties of SrTiO 3 composite. The La-Yb-Nb-doped SrTiO 3 powders, synthesized via the hydrothermal method , were prepressed and then buried in carbon powder before being sintered in a muffle furnace at 1573 K for 5 h. The Yb dopant precipitated during the sintering process, leading to the in-situ formation of Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 . The content of Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 increased with an increasing Yb concentration, resulting in a reduction in thermal conductivity and grain boundary potentials, and an increase in the peak electrical conductivity . The La and Nb dopants affect the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient. Therefore, by controlling the La, Nb, and Yb ratios, the La8Yb2Nb15 sample achieved the largest power factor ( PF ) value of 0.9 mWm −1 K −2 and a low thermal conductivity of 2.9 W m −1 K −1 , resulting in a high ZT value of 0.32 at 1000 K.

Applications of rare-earth (Re)-doped upconversion (UC) micro/nanocrystals in varying areas have sparked a growing, constant demand for deliberate control over the luminescent profile and lifetime. A general strategy for adjusting UC luminescence is to control the dopant Re 3+ concentration. However, the progress of elevating dopant concentration is significantly limited owing to frequently encountering severe concentration quenching. Herein, by designing UC system using Tm 3+ with super long intermediate energy level lifetime and Yb 3+ with a simple two-level structure as a activator/sensitizer combination, we have achieved the unusually intense deep ultraviolet (UV) UC emissions at 290 nm and 345 nm, near UV emission at 361 nm, visible blue emissions at 452 nm and 478 nm, and near infrared (NIR) emission at 803 nm in NaYF 4 :Yb/Tm microtubes under 980 nm excitation. The luminescence intensity reaches about 56 times and 8 times enhancement for the UV and blue emission, respectively, with the increase of dopant Yb 3+ contents from 20 to 80 mol%. While luminescence lifetimes for all emissions decrease, particularly, for NIR emission at 803 nm, from 1507 μs down to 384 μs. Importantly, upon 980 nm irradiation, these UC NaYF 4 :Yb/Tm microtubes exhibit superior optical performance as a promising candidate of advanced anti-counterfeiting applications and other applications including UV light triggered reactions and multiplexing information storage.
