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 shell of SiO2 with tunable thickness was uniformly coated on NaGd(WO4)2:Yb3+/Er3+ core upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). The effects of the silica shell on UC luminescence and thermal sensing properties of the core–shell UCNPs were investigated.

Composite nanostructures of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@Au have been successfully prepared by attaching gold nanoparticles onto the surface of NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). NaYF4 inert shell was used to adjust the separation distance between gold nanoparticles and UCNPs. Effects of the gold nanoparticles on their upconversion luminescent (UCL), temperature sensing and photothermal therapy properties were systematically investigated. For all samples, a slight decrease of the UCL intensity was observed after gold nanoparticles attachment, suggesting that the nonradiative quenching effect is the dominant interaction between UCNPs and gold nanoparticles. However, the reduction of the UCL intensity is negligible due to the significant improvement of UCL properties by NaYF4shell. In addition, the gold attachment can obviously improve the photothermal conversion effect, but do not affect the temperature sensing properties of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ UCNPs, indicating their high capability for multifunctional applications in biomedical fields.

Polyaniline (Pani) and polypyrrole (Ppy) half hollow spheres with different shell thicknesses were successfully synthesized by three steps process using polystyrene (PS) as the core. The PS core was synthesized by emulsion polymerization. Aniline and pyrrole monomers were polymerized on the surface of the PS core. The shells of Pani and Ppy were fabricated by adding different amounts of aniline and pyrrole monomers. PS cores were dissolved and removed from the core shell structure by solvent extraction. The thicknesses of the Pani and Ppy half hollow spheres were observed by FE-SEM and FE-TEM. The chemical structures of the Pani and Ppy half hollow spheres were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The shell thicknesses of the Pani half hollow spheres were 30.2, 38.0, 42.2, 48.2, and 52.4 nm, while the shell thicknesses of the Ppy half hollow spheres were 16.0, 22.0, 27.0, and 34.0 nm. The shell thicknesses of Pani and Ppy half hollow spheres linearly increased as the amount of the monomer increased. Therefore, the shell thickness of the Pani and Ppy half hollow spheres can be controlled in these ranges.
