Multicolor upconversion luminescence (UCL) plays an essential role in anti-fake and information encipher. Here, we report a strategy to expand the color-adjustable emission range by regulating the doping concentration of Yb3+ in core@shell (C@S) upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) under the excitation of near-infrared (NIR) light at 980 nm and promoting the energy-transfer process. Subsequently, multicolor UCNPs were combined with acrylamide hydrogel to construct a three-dimensional (3D) information code with an adjustable emission color. The encoded information is readable only under 980 nm excitation light and disappears as soon as the excitation light is removed. We adopted three strategies to improve the security: multiple permutations and combinations of different emission light hydrogel blocks, the combination of rich optical information and binary code, and the shape coding of hydrogel blocks. Constructing a complex and changeable coding library significantly guarantees that the data can be enciphered and deciphered by simple light irradiation, and the content can be edited by permutation and combination combined with information coding rules. Therefore, it is expected to provide ideas for developing intelligent anti-counterfeiting materials and devices.

The core–shell NaGdF 4 :Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 :Yb,Nd upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were successfully obtained with the method of co-precipitation, and the water-solubility of UCNPs was improved by the ligand exchange reaction between nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate (NOBF 4 ) and nanoparticles. The IR-783 dye with negative charge and NOBF 4 -UCNPs with positive charge can bind together by electrostatic action to sensitize UCNPs through the energy transfer from IR-783 to UCNPs. However, with the presence of Na 2 S (a commonly used H 2 S donor), a highly selective reaction between H 2 S and IR-783, which destoried the structure of IR-783 and blocked the energy transfer, thus led to the quenching of luminescent intensity. Based on this, a sensing system for determination of H 2 S has been constructed successfully. The linear range of H 2 S detection by this system is 0.5–15 μM, and the detection limit is 34.17 nM. Furthermore, the dye-sensitized core–shell NaGdF 4 :Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 :Yb,Nd upconversion nanoprobe was applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.

Spicy cabbage is a popular fermented vegetable food. The study aimed to determine the physicochemical properties, volatile flavor components, sensory evaluation, and microbial diversity of spicy cabbage prepared using different methods. Three methods were used: single-bacteria fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum YB-106 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides YB-23, mixed fermentation (LMP) using both strains, and natural fermentation as the blank control (CON). The LMP group has the best quality of spicy cabbage and the highest sensory score. Esters and alkenes were the main volatile flavor components of the spicy cabbage by GC–MS. The fermentation time of LMP group was shorter, and the nitrite degradation rate was >60 %, which was significantly higher than that of other groups ( p < 0.05). From the perspective of microbial diversity, the dominant bacteria genera in each group were Lactobacillus , Pantoea , Enterococcus and Pseudomonas . However, mixed fermentation decreased the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, of which the abundance of Serratia was <0.1 %. In conclusion, mixed fermentation can significantly improve the quality of spicy cabbage and shorten the fermentation time. These findings laid the theoretical foundation for the industrial production of high-quality spicy cabbage.

Yb and Re (Re = Er, Ho) codoped Sr₂ScSbO₆ double perovskite phosphors were synthesized via high-temperature solid-state reaction. Under excitation by a 980 nm laser, the Yb 3 ⁺/Er 3 ⁺ codoped sample exhibits weak green emissions at 522 and 558 nm, along with a dominant red emission at 660 nm, which is attributed to efficient cross-relaxation processes that enhance population of the 4 F 9/2 level. Notably, the emission intensities are temperature-dependent, resulting in distinct and visible changes in emission color with increasing temperature. Temperature sensing based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) demonstrates a maximum relative sensitivity of 0.73% K⁻ 1 at 490 K and an absolute sensitivity of 1.43% K⁻ 1 at 730 K. In contrast, the Yb 3 ⁺/Ho 3 ⁺ codoped sample exhibits dual green (543 nm) and red (661 nm) emissions, along with superior performance in high temperatures, achieving a relative sensitivity of 0.59%·K⁻ 1 and an absolute sensitivity of 0.42%·K⁻ 1 at 670 K. These results suggest that the Yb 3 ⁺/Er 3 ⁺ system is more suitable for low-to-intermediate temperature sensing, while the Yb 3 ⁺/Ho 3 ⁺ system is better suited for high-temperature optical thermometry applications.

The influencing factors of chelator, reaction times, and Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ -doped concentration on the formation of NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm crystals with various morphologies have been investigated and determined. It is found that NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm with various morphologies and different phases can be tuned. Compared with the addition of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid, hexagonal nanoprism-like β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm with a mean length of ~ 1300 nm and diameter of ~ 100 nm is prepared in the presence of oleic acid, which preferentially orients along with the [0001] direction more quickly than others. Systematical research on the emission of Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ -doped NaYF 4 crystals with microrod, hexagonal microprism, and nanoplate has implied that these obtained crystals with unique optical properties are closely related to their morphologies, phases, and sizes. In addition, a possible growth mechanism of co-existence of α- and β-NaYF 4 phases is proposed. It can be expected to illustrate the formation mechanism for the upconversion crystals or other rare-earth upconversion materials and to import these highly luminescent microcrystals or nanocrystals to environmental remediation by full solar energy spectra.

Proton conducting oxides are attracting increasing attention due to their promising application as electrolytes in solid-state electrochemical devices for energy conversion and chemical production, including protonic ceramic fuel cells, electrolyzers and membrane reactors. BaZrO3 and Ba(Zr,Ce)O3 substituted by acceptor dopants are currently the most promising proton conductors. In principle, replacing Zr or Ce with one kind of trivalent element (e.g., Y or Yb) can generate oxygen vacancies, which are necessary for the hydration reaction to introduce charge carriers of protons. However, it is commonly recognized that substituting Zr or Ce with Y and Yb simultaneously leads to high performance of the devices, but the reason is not clear. In this work, we studied the transport properties of four different compositional classes: BaZr0.8−xCexY0.2O3−δ (BZCY20), BaZr0.8Y0.2−xYbxO3−δ (BZYYb), BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.2−xYbxO3−δ (BZCYYb) and BaCe0.8Y0.2−xYbxO3−δ (BCYYb), at 600, 650 and 700 °C. For BZCY20, the ionic conductivity decreases on replacing Zr in BZY20 with x = 0.1 of Ce, increases with increasing Ce content within x = 0.1–0.5, and decreases on further increasing Ce content from x = 0.5 to 0.8. The ionic transport number increases with increasing Ce content. The ionic conductivity, partial conductivity of oxide ions and hole conductivity of BZCYYb and BCYYb increase with increasing Yb content. Since the increment of hole conductivity is larger, the ionic transport number decreases. For BZYYb, the ionic conductivity decreases and the hole conductivity increases with increasing Yb content, leading to decreasing ionic transport number. Both the high ionic conductivity and transport number are vital factors governing the performance of protonic ceramic cells (PCCs). Therefore, the improved performance of PCCs by adding both Y and Yb into the electrolyte cannot be explained from the viewpoint of electrical properties of the electrolytes. Thereby, we summarized our recent series of studies on the chemical compatibility between the electrolyte and NiO negatrode substrate, and suggested that the loss of dopant was suppressed by partly replacing Y with Yb. The high ionic conduction of the electrolyte can be maintained after co-sintering at high temperature to fabricate PCCs. This might be the real reason for the high performance of the devices using Y and Yb co-substituted electrolytes, prepared by the co-sintering method.

Graphical Colloidal superparticles (SPs) are nanoparticle (NP) assemblies in the form of colloidal particles. Assembling nanoscopic objects into mesoscopic or macroscopic composite architectures allows for the bottom-up fabrication of functional nanomaterials. In this study, a method for single-step self-assembly synthesis of Au/NaYF 4 : Yb,Er SPs was developed using oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsions to simultaneously encapsulate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and NaYF 4 : Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) via evaporation at room temperature. The synthesized Au/NaYF 4 : Yb,Er SPs possess good dispersibility and stability. When the number of AuNPs added is increased, the SPs exhibit decreased upconversion luminescence, which can be ascribed to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the NaYF 4 : Yb,Er UCNPs to the AuNPs. Time-resolved measurements of the green emission further confirm the existence of a new decay route corresponding to the FRET process. Our research provides a facile and versatile strategy for the synthesis of novel multifunctional nanocomposites with tunable upconversion luminescence properties, which can be of great significance in biological applications.

In this paper, we report the development of a facile one-pot hydrothermal method for the controlled synthesis of monodispersed BaGdF 5 :Yb/Er nanoparticles for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The as-prepared nanoparticles have uniform size with a diameter of 20–25 nm. MTT tests show that the cell viability surpasses 90% even with a concentration of nanoparticles of 500 µg/mL, suggesting that the as-prepared BaGdF 5 :Yb/Er nanoparticles possess low toxicity. For both BaGdF 5 :Yb/Er nanoparticles and iopromide, the Hounsfield unit (HU) values increase with the their concentration. The slope of BaGdF 5 :Yb/Er nanoparticles is about 26.47, which is much higher than that of iopromide (16.98), indicating a better CT imaging effect. Interestingly, we find that the synthesized BaGdF 5 :Yb/Er nanoparticles exhibit paramagnetism. Our in vitro and in vivo imaging experiments demonstrate that the synthesized monodispersed BaGdF 5 :Yb/Er nanoparticles can serve as effective contrast agents for CT and MR imaging.

The low luminous efficiency of upconversion materials limits their practical applications in various fields. The present study focuses on the efficient upconversion enhancement of β-NaYF 4 :Yb,Er induced by Bi 3+ doping. The XRD and SEM results show that introducing Bi 3+ into the matrix lattice changes the microstructure and particle size of the crystal. The photoluminescence spectra show that at 6% Bi 3+ doping, the red and green emission intensities are enhanced by 12 and 8 times, respectively. The reason could be the lattice distortion caused by Bi 3+ doping, breaking the partial forbidden transition of rare-earth ions. The fluorescence lifetime measurement reveals that the Bi 3+ doping changes the environment around erbium ions, affecting the energy level lifetime of erbium ions, explaining the luminescence dynamics law. The present study provides a facile route to achieve nano/microstructures with intense upconversion luminescence with potential applications in optoelectronic devices.

Composite structures of YAG/1 at% Nd-doped LuAG/YAG, YAG/1 at% Nd-doped LuAG and YAG/5 at% Yb-doped LuAG transparent ceramics were successfully fabricated by non-aqueous tape-casting method and vacuum sintering technology. Cation (Y 3+ , Lu 3+ , Nd 3+ , Yb 3+ ) diffusion behavior across the contact boundaries between ytterbium (Yb) or neodymium (Nd) doped lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) and un-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was studied by the electron probe X-ray micro-analysis (EPMA). The diffusion concentration profile curves were well modeled by Harrison type B kinetics. Curves of concentration vs depth were well fitted by Fick’s second low and the log of the average concentration varies as 6/5 power of penetration depth in the diffusion range was demonstrated. Meanwhile, the bulk diffusion coefficient and grain boundary diffusion coefficient were calculated. For YAG/Nd:LuAG transparent ceramic, under an 808 nm diode laser pumping, the 1064 nm continuous wave (C.W.) laser output beam with good quality was achieved.

The morphology and size of LiYF 4 :Yb,Er nanoparticles were controlled using an automatic nanomaterial synthesizer by changing the reaction time at high temperature. It was found that the nanoparticles underwent a growth and change process from small to large and then to small, and then remained at a basically stable size, reflecting the different growth stages of the nanoparticles, such as nucleation, growth, phase transition, and internal Ostwald ripening, etc. XRD analyses showed that LiF nanocrystals were first formed during the reaction process, and then all the products were converted into LiYF 4 nanocrystals. Under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, the LiYF 4 :Yb,Er nanoparticles showed regular downconversion and upconversion luminescence properties, which was basically consistent with the regularity of nanocrystal growth. The experimental results showed that the upconversion luminescence and downconversion luminescence intensities of nanocrystals increasd rapidly when the synthesis time was between 0 and 50 min, and they increased slowly after the synthesis time exceeded 50 min.

Herein, NaYF4:Yb,Tm@SiO2/carbon dot nanocomposites have been successfully fabricated by a facile route. The structure and morphology of the nanocomposites were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR and XPS measurements. It was demonstrated that carbon dots were embedded well in the silica layer coating on the surface of NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanoparticles, leading to a relatively stable structure of the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites showed interesting dual-mode luminescence properties, i.e. blue green light under a 365 nm UV lamp and blue purple light under a 980 nm laser. They were utilized to achieve light conversion films, ion detection probes and cell imaging, suggesting their great potential in the fields of anti-counterfeiting and bioapplications.
