Although dye sensitization is an efficient strategy to improve upconversion luminescence of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), the sensitization effect is limited due to the high probability of dyes aggregation. To...

Hexagonal (β)-phase NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with and without an inert (undoped NaYF4) shell have been successfully synthesized and the effects of shell thickness on the upconversion luminescence (UCL) and temperature sensing properties were systematically investigated. It was found that the NaYF4 shell and its thickness do not affect the RHS values and thermal sensitivity, but can obviously improve the UCL intensity of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ UCNPs. It implies that the core-shell structured NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@NaYF4 UCNPs with excellent UCL properties have great potential to be used as temperature sensing probes in biomedical fields, without considering the influences of the shell thickness on their temperature sensing properties.

A series of NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticles with different doping concentration were successfully prepared by the combination of coprecipitation and hydrothermal methods using sodium citrate as chelator. Upconversion luminescence can be observed in all of the samples at room temperature. Fixed the Er3+ concentration with 1 mol% unchanged, the effect of the Yb3+ concentration on the upconversion luminescence of NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ samples were studied when the doped Yb3+ concentrations were 0 mol%, 1 mol%, 2 mol%, 5 mol%, 10 mol% and 20 mol%, respectively. As increasing the Yb3+ concentration, the total intensity of the upconversion luminescence of the samples is increasing while the ratio of red to green emission increases firstly and then decreases. The maximum ratio value is 22.1 when the Yb3+ concentration is 10 mol%. It is found that the cross relaxation and cooperative sensitization effect are the reasons for the phenomenon above.
