Lanthanide‐doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can convert two or more lower‐energy near‐infrared photons to a single photon with higher energy, which makes them particularly suitable for constructing nanoprobes with large imaging depth and minimal interference of autofluorescence and light scattering from biosamples. Furthermore, they feature excellent photostability, sharp and narrow emissions,...
Ever since the first report of UC‐FRET in 2005, which introduced upconversion (UC) fluorescence into biosensing, imaging and medical applications, it has been growing more and more quickly during the past 15 years. In article number 1905084, Zhihong Liu and co‐workers review the efforts to improve the signal contrast of UC probes and sensors, which have gone beyond the FRET principle.
Engineering a facile and controllable approach to modulate the spectral properties of lanthanide‐doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is always an ongoing challenge. Herein, long‐range ordered, distinct two‐dimensional (2D) binary nanoparticle superlattices (BNSLs) composed of NaREF4:Yb/Er (RE = Y and Gd) UCNPs and plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (Au NPs), including AB, AB3, and AB13 lattices,...
It is absolutely imperative for development of material science to adjust upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties of highly doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with special optical properties and prominent application prospects. In this work, featuring NaHoF4@NaYbF4 (Ho@Yb) structures, sub‐30 nm core–multishell UCNPs are synthesized with a small NaHoF4 core and varied Gd3+/Yb3+ coexisting...
