Abstract
The substitution of three water molecules around trivalent chromium in CrBr3·6H2O with the tridentate 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (tpy), N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-di(pyridine-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-diamine (ddpd) or 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine (dqp) ligands gives the heteroleptic mer-[Cr(L)Br3] complexes. Stepwise treatments with Ag(CF3SO3) and KCN under microwave irradiations provide mer-[Cr(L)(CN)3] in moderate yields. According to their X-ray crystal structures, the associated six-coordinate meridional [CrN3C3] chromophores increasingly deviate from a pseudo-octahedral arrangement according to L = ddpd ≈ dpq ≪ tpy; a trend in line with the replacement of six-membered with five-membered chelate rings around CrIII. Room-temperature ligand-centered UV-excitation at 18 170 cm−1 (λexc = 350 nm), followed by energy transfer and intersystem crossing eventually yield microsecond metal-centered Cr(2E → 4A2) phosphorescence in the red to near infrared domain 13 150–12 650 cm−1 (760 ≤ λem ≤ 790 nm). Decreasing the temperature to liquid nitrogen (77 K) extends the emission lifetimes to reach the millisecond regime with a record of 4.02 ms for mer-[Cr(dqp)(CN)3] in frozen acetonitrile. The heteroleptic mer-[Cr(L)(CN)3] (L = tpy, ddpd, dqp) complexes with their C2v-symmetrical [CrC3N3] luminescent chromophores represent the missing links between pseudo-octahedral [CrN6] and [CrC6] units found in their well-known homoleptic parents.![]()

Facile Synthesis of NaYF4:Yb Up-Conversion Nanoparticles Modified with Photosensitizer and Targeting Antibody for In Vitro Photodynamic Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:4470510.

Abstract
Rare Earth up-conversion nanoparticles NaYF4:20%Yb,2%Er@PEI (UCNPs) were generated via a one-step hydrothermal technique at relatively reduced temperatures. Photosensitizer Ce6 and anti-EpCAM, a highly expressed monoclonal antibody in cancer stem cells of hepatocellular carcinoma, were linked to UCNP surfaces via the formation of amide linkage between carboxyl from Ce6 or anti-EpCAM and abundant amino from PEI, leading to the formation of Ps-Ce6 and anti-EpCAM-UCNPs-Ce6 nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles characterized by XRD, TEM, and IR, and their zeta potential, ROS generation ability, Ce6 loading rate, and up-conversion fluorescence properties were investigated. It has been revealed that all the products were uniformly dispersed nanoparticles (25–32 nm), which crystallized primarily as hexagonal structures, and their up-conversion fluorescence spectra were similar to that of NaYF4:20%Yb,2%Er. The Ce6 loading rate in the anti-EpCAM-UCNPs-Ce6 nanoparticles was about 2.9%, thereby resulting in good ROS generation ability. For anti-EpCAM-UCNPs-Ce6, the biosafety, targeting effect, and PDT effect exposed under near-infrared (NIR) laser (980 nm) were evaluated using human liver cancer cells (BEL-7404). The results showed that it has good biocompatibility and biosafety as well as high targeting and PDT treatment efficiencies, which renders it a potential experimental material for the near-infrared PDT study.

Abstract
The development of advanced luminescent materials is highly desirable for addressing the rising threat of forgery. However, it is challenging to achieve stable full-color upconversion (UC) tuning in the same matrix upon a single-beam light excitation so as to ensure that authentic items are irreproducible. Herein, hexagonal Er/Tm:CsYb2F7 nanocrystals (NCs) embedded inorganic glass via an in situ crystallization strategy is fabricated, which can emit blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red and near-infrared (NIR) UC emissions by simply modifying an incident 980 nm laser power. This UC tuning is attributed to the combination roles of the highly efficient laser-induced photothermal effect of the CsYb2F7 host and simultaneous emissions of Er and Tm activators. Importantly, the robust inorganic glass matrix endows Er/Tm:CsYb2F7 NCs with excellent water resistance and the ability to withstand high-power laser irradiation. Based on these unique characteristics, a proof-of-concept anti-counterfeiting experiment is designed. The results indicate that dynamic full-color UC luminescence patterns can be easily tuned by simply changing the power of the incident 980 nm laser. The present work not only confirms that the designed photothermal material can increase information security, but also provides a new idea for practical applications in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with strong near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission is significant for biomedical research but highly challenging. So far there are no MOFs reported for NIR-II imaging in vivo due to their poor NIR-II emission efficiency. Herein, a strategy is proposed to prepare MOFs with strong NIR-II emission, by integrating NIR dye IR-3C and Ln3+ (Ln = Yb, Nd, and Er) into a same framework. IR-3C with high photon-absorption ability harvests the excitation photons and transfers energy to Ln3+ via a resonance energy transfer pathway, significantly enhancing the NIR-II emission of Ln3+ . The as-obtained Er-BTC-IR exhibits excellent NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) emission efficiency in aqueous phase and good biocompatibility after surface modification, which provides advanced bioimaging performance in vivo. It is able to clearly delineate the vessels, spine, and lymph of mice, and also to differentiate the vessels with acute vascular inflammation. This strategy paves the way to the preparation of NIR-II emissive MOFs and will promote their bioapplication.

Abstract
Lanthanide-based upconversion nanomaterials have recently attracted considerable attention in both fundamental research and various frontier applications owing to their excellent photon upconversion performance and favourable physicochemical properties. In particular, the emergence of multi-layer core-shell (MLCS) nanostructures offers a versatile and powerful tool to realize well-defined matrix compositions and spatial distributions of the dopant on the nanometer length scale. In contrast to the conventional nanomaterials and commonly investigated core-shell nanoparticles, the rational design of MLCS nanostructures allows us to deliberately introduce more functional properties into an upconversion system, thus providing unprecedented opportunities for the precise manipulation of energy transfer channels, the dynamic control of upconversion processes, the fine tuning of switchable emission colours and new functional integration at a single-particle level. In this review, we present a summary and discussion on the key aspects of the recent progress in lanthanide-based MLCS nanoparticles, including the manipulation of emission and lifetime, the switchable multicolour output and the lanthanide ionic interactions on the nanoscale. Benefitting from the multifunctional and versatile luminescence properties, the MLCS nanostructures exhibit great potential in diversities of frontier applications such as three-dimensional display, upconversion laser, optical memory, anti-counterfeiting, thermometry, bioimaging, and therapy. The outlook and challenges as well as perspectives for the research in MLCS nanostructure materials are also provided. This review would be greatly helpful in exploring new structural designs of lanthanide-based materials to further manipulate the upconversion phenomenon and expand their application boundaries.

NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2022; 4:608-618.

Abstract
Dye sensitization is a promising route to enhance luminescence from lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (LnUCNPs) by improving the photon harvesting capability of LnUCNPs through the use of dye molecules, characterized by higher absorption coefficients. The literature does not fully address the poor photostability of NIR dyes, hindering solution-based applications. The improvements achieved by dye-sensitized LnUCNPs are usually obtained by comparison with non-dye sensitized LnUCNPs. This comparison results in exciting the LnUCNPs at different wavelengths with respect to the dye-sensitized LnUCNPs or at the same wavelengths, where, however, the non-dye sensitized LnUCNPs do not absorb. Both these comparisons are hardly conclusive for a quantification of the improvements achieved by dye-sensitization. Both shortcomings were addressed by studying the photodegradation via thorough spectroscopic evaluations of a 4-nitrothiophenol-modified and unmodified IR820-LnUCNP system. The modified IR820 dye system exhibits a 200% enhancement in the emission of NaGdF4:Er3+,Yb3+/NaGdF4:Yb3+ nanoparticles relative to the unmodified IR820-sensitized LnUCNPs and emits for over twice the duration, demonstrating a substantial improvement over previous dye-LnUCNP systems. Upconversion dynamics between the dyes and Er3+ establish the importance of back-transfer dynamics in modulating the dye-LnUCNP luminescence. Quantum yield measurements further illustrate the mechanism of sensitization and increased efficiency of this new nanosystem.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy molecule of significant importance, and, the monitoring of ATP in living cells is considerable for the clinical diagnosis of many related diseases, including cancer. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently been attracting widespread interest in biomedical applications due to their chemical and thermal stability, high sensitivity, good biocompatibility, and excellent tissue penetration. Herein, a Cy3-aptamer-cDNA- UCNPs nanosensor was synthesized, based on the luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) between UCNPs and Cy3 for monitoring ATP in living cells. It showed a selective sensing ability for ATP levels by changes of fluorescence intensity of UNCPs at 536 nm. The investigated biosensor showed a precise, efficient detection with sufficient selectivity which was achieved through the optimization of conditions. In the range of 1-1000 μM, the ATP-induced changes of the fluorescence intensity were linearly proportional to the ATP concentrations. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity assay revealed that the UCNPs sensor exhibited favorable biocompatibility, implicating the use of UCNPs in vivo imaging. This study highlights the potential of using a combination of UCNPs and ATP-binding aptamer to design an ATP-activatable probe for fluorescence-mediated imaging in living cells. These results implied that the nanosensor can be applicable for the monitoring of intracellular ATP by fluorescence imaging and the quantitative analysis of biological liquids.

Abstract
Cubic (α-phase) NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are uniquely suited to biophotonics and biosensing applications due to their near-infrared excitation and visible red emission (λ ex approx. 660 nm), enabling detection via thick overlying tissue with no bio-autofluorescence. However, UCNP synthesis typically requires high temperatures in combination with either high pressure reaction vessels or an inert atmosphere. Here, we report synthesis of α-phase NaYF4:Yb,Er,Mn UCNPs via the considerably more convenient PVP40-mediated route; a strategy that requires modest temperatures and relatively short reaction time (160°C, 2 h) in open air, with Mn2+ co-doping serving to greatly enhance red emission. The optimal Mn2+ co-doping level was found to be 35 mol %, which decreased the average maximum UCNP Feret diameter from 42 ± 11 to 36 ± 15 nm; reduced the crystal lattice parameter, a, from 5.52 to 5.45 Å; and greatly enhanced UCNP red/green emission ratio in EtOH by a factor of 5.6. The PVP40 coating enabled dispersal in water and organic solvents and can be exploited for further surface modification (e.g. silica shell formation). We anticipate that this straightforward UCNP synthesis method for producing strongly red-emitting UCNPs will be particularly beneficial for deep tissue biophotonics and biosensing applications.

The invention of dedicated strip readers has drawn further interest in exploiting the better performance of LFAs. Therefore, next, the development of dedicated reader devices is described and the usefulness and specifications of these devices for LFAs are discussed. Finally, the applications of LFAs in the detection of metal ions, biotoxins, pathogenic microorganisms, veterinary drugs, and pesticides in the fields of food safety and environmental health and the detection of nucleic acids, biomarkers, and viruses in clinical analyses are summarized.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), as an important neurotransmitter, is widely present in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The aberrant expression of AChE could cause diverse neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we developed a facile and interference-free fluorimetric biosensing platform for highly sensitive AChE activity determination based on a NaErF4: 0.5 % Ho3+@NaYF4 nano-probe. This nano-probe exhibits a unique property of emitting bright monochromic red (650 nm) upconversion (UC) emission under multiband (~808, ~980, and ~1530 nm) near-infrared (NIR) excitations. The principle of this detection relies on the quenching of the strong monochromic red UC emission by oxidization products of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine generated through AChE-modulated cascade reactions. This system shows a great sensing performance with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.0019 mU mL- 1 for AChE, as well as good specificity and stability. Furthermore, we validated the potential of the nano-probe in biological samples by determination of AChE in whole blood with a LOD of 0.0027 mU mL-1, indicating the potential application of our proposed platform for monitoring the progression of AChE-related disease.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) of lanthanide-doped nanostructure has the unique ability to convert low energy infrared (IR) light to high energy photons, which has significant potential for energy conversion applications. This review concisely discusses the basic concepts and fundamental theories of lanthanide nanostructures, synthesis techniques, and enhancement methods of upconversion for photovoltaic and for near-infrared (NIR) photodetector (PD) application. In addition, a few examples of lanthanide-doped nanostructures with improved performance were discussed, with particular emphasis on upconversion emission enhancement using coupling plasmon. The use of UC materials has been shown to significantly improve the NIR light-harvesting properties of photovoltaic devices and photocatalytic materials. However, the inefficiency of UC emission also prompted the need for additional modification of the optical properties of UC material. This improvement entailed the proper selection of the host matrix and optimization of the sensitizer and activator concentrations, followed by subjecting the UC material to surface-passivation, plasmonic enhancement, or doping. As expected, improving the optical properties of UC materials can lead to enhanced efficiency of PDs and photovoltaic devices.

Abstract
Surface modification of inorganic nanomaterials with biomolecules has enabled the development of composites integrated with extensive properties. Lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are one class of inorganic nanomaterials showing optical properties that convert photons of lower energy into higher energy. Additionally, DNA oligonucleotides have exhibited powerful capabilities for organizing various nanomaterials with versatile topological configurations. Through rational design and nanotechnology, DNA-based UCNPs offer predesigned functionality and potential. To fully harness the capabilities of UCNPs integrated with DNA, various DNA-UCNP composites have been developed for diagnosis and therapeutics. In this review, beginning with the introduction of the UCNPs and the conjugation of DNA strands on the surface of UCNPs, we present an overview of the recent progress of DNA-UCNP composites while focusing on their applications for bioanalysis and therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photoresponsive drug delivery can achieve spatiotemporal control of drug accumulation at desired sites. Long-wavelength light is preferable owing to its deep tissue penetration and low toxicity. One-photon upconversion-like photolysis via triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTET) between photosensitizer and photoresponsive group enables the use of long-wavelength light to activate short-wavelength light-responsive groups. However, such process requires oxygen-free environment to achieve efficient photolysis due to the oxygen quenching of triplet excited states. RESULTS Herein, we report a strategy that uses red light to trigger disassembly of small-molecule nanoparticles by one-photon upconversion-like photolysis for cancer therapy. A photocleavable trigonal molecule, BTAEA, self-assembled into nanoparticles and enclosed photosensitizer, PtTPBP. Such nanoparticles protected TTET-based photolysis from oxygen quenching in normoxia aqueous solutions, resulting in efficient red light-triggered BTAEA cleavage, dissociation of nanoparticles and subsequent cargo release. With paclitaxel as the model drug, the red light-triggered drug release system demonstrated promising anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a practical reference for constructing photoresponsive nanocarriers based on the one-photon upconversion-like photolysis.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) exhibit excellent photoelectric and optical properties, but their poor stability and low multiphoton absorption efficiency greatly limit their biological applications. Efforts have been made to combine upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with PQDs to produce a composite material that is NIR-excitable, upconverting, and emission-tunable due to the unique optical properties of UCNPs, which converts tissue-penetrating near-infrared light into visible light based on an upconversion multiphoton excitation process. However, it is challenging to make such a nanocrystal heterostructure and maintain good optical properties and stability of both UCNPs and PQDs because they have different crystal structures. Here, we report the synthesis of heterostructured UCNP-PQD nanocrystals to bring hexagonal-phase NaYF4 UCNPs and cubic-phase CsPbBr1X2 PQDs in close proximity in a single nanocrystal, leading to efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the UCNP to the PQD under NIR excitation, as compared to their counterparts in solution. Moreover, by further improving the lattice matching between the UCNP and PQD using Gd to replace Y, heterostructured CsPbBr3-NaGdF4:Yb,Tm nanocrystals are successfully synthesized, with much enhanced luminescence and stability at high temperatures or in polar solvents or under continuous ultraviolet light excitation as compared to those of the CsPbBr3-NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanocrystals and pure PQDs.

Abstract
The salts {[Ln2 Ln*(Hhmq)3 (OAc)3 (hfac)2 ]+ [Ln*(hfac)3 (OAc)(MeOH)]- } (Hhmq=2-methanolquinolin-8-oxide, hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate; Ln, Ln*=Er, Gd, Yb) feature a discrete heteronuclear cation consisting of two types of lanthanide atoms. The quinolinoxy O-atom serves as a μ2 -bridge to two Ln atoms and as a μ3 -bridge to all three atoms, with metal⋅⋅⋅metal distances being around 3.7 Å. For 1 ([Yb2 Er]+ ), near-infrared downshifted luminescence is switched to competitive upconversion luminescence upon irradiation by a 980 nm laser under an extremely low excitation power (0.288 W cm-2 ) through introduction of fluoride ions. The stability of 1 after addition of fluoride was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and multistage mass spectrometry, associated with the 1 H NMR of 6 ([La2 Eu]+ ). More importantly, the at least 20-fold enhancement of the quantum yield in non-deuterated solvents at room temperature under low power densities (2 W cm-2 ) is the highest among the few molecular examples reported.

Abstract
Electrically coupled quantum dots (QDs) can support unique optoelectronic properties arising from the superposition of single-particle excited states. Experimental methods for integrating colloidal QDs within the same nano-object, however, have remained elusive to the rational design. Here, we demonstrate a chemical strategy that allows for the assembling of colloidal QDs into coupled composites, where proximal interactions give rise to unique optoelectronic behavior. The assembly method employing "adhesive" surfactants was used to fabricate both homogeneous (e.g., CdS-CdS, PbS-PbS, CdSe-CdSe) and heterogeneous (e.g., PbS-CdS, CdS-CdSe) nanoparticle assemblies, exhibiting quasi-one-dimensional exciton fine structure. In addition, tunable mixing of single-particle exciton states was achieved for dimer-like assemblies of CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals. The nanoparticle assembly mechanism was explained within the viscoelastic interaction theory adapted for molten-surface colloids. We expect that the present work will provide the synthetic and theoretical foundation needed for building assemblies of many inorganic nanocrystals.

Abstract
Increasing the efficiency of the photodynamic action of the dyes used in photodynamic therapy is crucial in the field of modern biomedicine. There are two main approaches used to increase the efficiency of photosensitizers. The first one is targeted delivery to the object of photodynamic action, while the second one is increasing the absorption capacity of the molecule. Both approaches can be implemented by producing dye-nanoparticle conjugates. In this review, we focus on the features of the latter approach, when nanoparticles act as a light-harvesting agent and nonradiatively transfer the electronic excitation energy to a photosensitizer molecule. We will consider the hybrid photosensitizer-quantum dot complexes with energy transfer occurring according to the inductive-resonance mechanism as an example. The principle consisting in optimizing the design of hybrid complexes is proposed after an analysis of the published data; the parameters affecting the efficiency of energy transfer and the generation of reactive oxygen species in such systems are described.

Abstract
Due to the unique properties of lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) under near-infrared (NIR) light, the last decade has shown a sharp progress in their biomedicine applications. Advances in the techniques for polymer, dye, and bio-molecule conjugation on the surface of the nanoparticles has further expanded their dynamic opportunities for optogenetics, oncotherapy and bioimaging. In this account, considering the primary benefits such as the absence of photobleaching, photoblinking, and autofluorescence of UCNPs not only facilitate the construction of accurate, sensitive and multifunctional nanoprobes, but also improve therapeutic and diagnostic results. We introduce, with the basic knowledge of upconversion, unique properties of UCNPs and the mechanisms involved in photon upconversion and discuss how UCNPs can be implemented in biological practices. In this focused review, we categorize the applications of UCNP-based various strategies into the following domains: neuromodulation, immunotherapy, drug delivery, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Herein, we also discuss the current emerging bioapplications with cutting edge nano-/biointerfacing of UCNPs. Finally, this review provides concluding remarks on future opportunities and challenges on clinical translation of UCNPs-based nanotechnology research.

Abstract
Photopolymerization refers to a type of polymerization process in which light is utilized as excitation source to initiate polymerization of monomers and oligomers. Despite great progress, photopolymerization is typically induced by ultraviolet or visible light, which still greatly restrains its applications. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) represent a class of optical nanomaterials that are able to convert low-energy near-infrared (NIR) light into high-energy ultraviolet (or visible light) emissions. In this context, UCNP-assisted photopolymerization has recently attracted extensive attentions due to its unique advantages. In this account, recent advances in the fundamentals, optimization and emerging applications of UCNP-based photopolymerization are reviewed. Fundamental theories of upconversion luminescence and photopolymerization will be introduced first. Various optimization approaches to improve UCNP-assisted photopolymerization are then summarized, followed by diverse emerging applications. Challenges and future perspectives in this area will be provided as a conclusion.

Abstract
Exploration of upconversion luminescence from lanthanide emitters through energy migration has profound implications for fundamental research and technology development. However, energy migration-mediated upconversion requires stringent experimental conditions, such as high power excitation and special migratory ions in the host lattice, imposing selection constraints on lanthanide emitters. Here we demonstrate photon upconversion of diverse lanthanide emitters by harnessing triplet exciton-mediated energy relay. Compared with gadolinium-based systems, this energy relay is less dependent on excitation power and enhances the emission intensity of Tb3+ by 158-fold. Mechanistic investigations reveal that emission enhancement is attributable to strong coupling between lanthanides and surface molecules, which enables fast triplet generation (<100 ps) and subsequent near-unity triplet transfer efficiency from surface ligands to lanthanides. Moreover, the energy relay approach supports long-distance energy transfer and allows upconversion modulation in microstructures. These findings enhance fundamental understanding of energy transfer at molecule-nanoparticle interfaces and open exciting avenues for developing hybrid, high-performance optical materials.

Abstract
In this study, a facile method to fabricate Janus microbeads based on photonic crystals and upconversion nanoparticles is designed. The Janus microbeads can be reversed under magnetic response and generate upconversion fluorescence under near-infrared light. Three kinds of core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are prepared by the solvothermal method and are mixed with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and different sizes of colloidal spheres. The Janus microbeads are assembled according to the hydrophilic property of the mixture and the hydrophobic property of substrates. The upper parts of the Janus microbeads are photonic crystals assembled with colloidal spheres, and the other parts are Fe3O4. Meanwhile, UCNPs are distributed inside the Janus microbeads. Furthermore, the Janus microbeads are prepared into different lattice patterns using special templates. In the lattice patterns, the structural colors of Janus microbeads can be displayed and disappeared by magnetic field inversion, and under external NIR irradiation, Janus microbeads can generate upconversion fluorescence to achieve multiple color display. The Janus microbeads are also applied to both sides of the bank card, and various reading information methods are designed according to different response modes, which have important applications in pattern display, response materials, and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
The ability to engineer the surface ligands or adsorbed molecules on colloid nanocrystals (NCs) is important for various applications, as the physical and chemical properties are strongly affected by the surface chemistry. Here, we develop a facile and generalized ionic compound-mediated ligand-exchange strategy based on density functional theory calculations, in which the ionic compounds possess switchable bonding energy when they transfer between the ionized state and the non-ionized state, hence catalyzing the ligand-exchange process. By using an organic acid as the intermediate ligand, ligands such as oleylamine, butylamine, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and poly(vinyl alcohol) can be freely exchanged on the surface of Au NCs. Benefiting from this unique ligand-exchange strategy, the ligands with strong bonding energy can be replaced by weak ones, which is hard to realize in traditional ligand-exchange processes. The ionic compound-mediated ligand exchange is further utilized to improve the catalytic properties of Au NCs, facilitate the loading of nanoparticles on substrates, and tailor the growth of colloid NCs. These results indicate that the mechanism of switchable bonding energy can be significantly expanded to manipulate the surface property and functionalization of NCs that have applications in a wide range of chemical and biomedical fields.

Abstract
The food safety issue has gradually become the focus of attention in modern society. The presence of food contaminants poses a threat to human health and there are a number of interesting researches on the detection of food contaminants. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are superior to other fluorescence materials, considering the benefits of large anti-Stokes shifts, high chemical stability, non-autofluorescence, good light penetration ability, and low toxicity. These properties render UCNPs promising candidates as luminescent labels in biodetection, which provides opportunities as a sensitive, accurate, and rapid detection method. This paper intended to review the research progress of food contaminants detection by UCNPs-based sensors. We have proposed the key criteria for UCNPs in the detection of food contaminants. Additionally, it highlighted the construction process of the UCNPs-based sensors, which includes the synthesis and modification of UCNPs, selection of the recognition elements, and consideration of the detection principle. Moreover, six kinds of food contaminants detected by UCNPs technology in the past 5 years have been summarized and discussed fairly. Last but not least, it is outlined that UCNPs have great potential to be applied in food safety detection and threw new insight into the challenges ahead.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been extensively investigated due to their unique capabilities of upconverting near-infrared light (NIR) to visible/ultraviolet emission. However, use of conventional Yb-based UCNPs under 980 nm excitation for biomedical applications is limited due to the overheating caused by the strong light absorption by water at this wavelength. Although this could be improved by using Nd3+-Yb3+ codoped UCNPs and changing the excitation wavelength to 808 nm, the amount of Nd3+ doping is usually below 20 mol% due to the lattice strain in highly Nd-doped core-shell structures. In this study, we report Nd3+-sensitized NaYF4:Yb,Er@NaLuF4:Nd@NaLuF4 UCNPs, in which the NaLuF4 in the intermediate shell can accommodate more structural changes caused by the Nd3+ doping, and allow for high concentration of Nd3+ doping (up to 50 mol%). Due to such high Nd3+ doping in the nanostructure, the red and green upconversion emissions of as-synthesized UCNPs are significantly increased upon 808 nm excitation, which are used to activate two photosensitizer drugs, MC540 (merocyanine 540) and FePc (iron phthalocyanine), for the dual photodynamic and photothermal therapy. The results show that the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon 808 nm light excitation is substantially boosted due to the synergistic therapeutic effect, which significantly prohibits the growth of cancer cells. It is believed that the nanoplatform specially developed in this study can solve the overheating issue associated with the 980 nm light excitation and the combined photodynamic and photothermal therapy can significantly improve the cancer therapy efficacy.

Abstract
Cationic group 4 metallocene complexes with pendant imine and pyridine donor groups were prepared as stable crystalline [B(C6F5)4]- salts either by protonation of the intramolecularly bound ketimide moiety in neutral complexes [(η5-C5Me5){η5-C5H4CMe2CMe2C(R)═N-κN}MCl] (M = Ti, Zr, Hf; R = t-Bu, Ph) by PhNMe2H+[B(C6F5)4]- to give [(η5-C5Me5){η5-C5H4CMe2CMe2C(R)═NH-κN}MCl]+[B(C6F5)4]- or by chloride ligand abstraction from the complexes [(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C5H4CMe2CH2C5H4N)MCl2] (M = Ti, Zr) by Li[B(C6F5)4]·2.5Et2O to give [(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C5H4CMe2CH2C5H4N-κN)MCl]+[B(C6F5)4]-. Solid state structures of the new compounds were established by X-ray diffraction analysis, and their electrochemical behavior was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The cationic complexes of Zr and Hf, compared to the corresponding neutral species, exhibited significantly enhanced luminescence predominantly from triplet ligand-to-metal (3LMCT) excited states with lifetimes up to 62 μs and quantum yields up to 58% in the solid state. DFT calculations were performed to explain the structural features and optical and electrochemical properties of the complexes.

Abstract
Photon upconversion is a fascinating phenomenon that can convert low-energy photons to high-energy photons efficiently. However, most previous relevant research has been focused on upconversion systems with a sufficiently low lanthanide emitter concentration, such as 2 mol% for Er3+ in an Er-Yb coupled system. Realizing the upconversion from lanthanide heavily doped systems in particular, the emitter sublattice is still a challenge. Here, we report a mechanistic strategy to achieve the intense upconversion of the holmium sublattice in a core-shell-based nanostructure design through interfacial energy transfer channels. This design allowed a spatial separation of Ho3+ and sensitizers (e.g., Yb3+) into different regions and unwanted back energy transfers between them could then be minimized. By taking advantage of the dual roles of Yb3+ as both a migrator and energy trapper, a gradual color change from red to yellowish green was achievable upon 808 nm excitation, which could be further markedly enhanced by surface attaching indocyanine green dyes to facilitate the harvesting of the incident excitation energy. Moreover, emission colors could be tuned by applying non-steady state excitation. Such a fine-tunable color behavior holds great promise in anti-counterfeiting. Our results present a facile but effective conceptual model for the upconversion of the holmuim sublattice, which is helpful for the development of a new class of luminescent materials toward frontier applications.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging in living animals gives an intuitive picture of the dynamic processes in the complex environment within a living being. However, animal tissues present a substantial barrier and are opaque to most wavelengths of visible light. Fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) with new photophysical characteristics have shown excellent performance for in vivo imaging. Hence, fluorescent NPs have been widely studied and applied for the detection of molecular and biological processes in living animals. In addition, developments in the area of nanotechnology have allowed materials to be used in intact animals for disease detection, diagnosis, drug delivery, and treatment. This review provides information on the different types of fluorescent particles based on nanotechnology, describing their unique individual properties and applications for detecting vital processes in vivo. The development and application of new fluorescent NPs will provide opportunities for in vivo imaging with better penetration, sensitivity, and resolution. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
The core-shell NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4: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 (NOBF4) and nanoparticles. The IR-783 dye with negative charge and NOBF4-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 Na2S (a commonly used H2S donor), a highly selective reaction between H2S 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 H2S has been constructed successfully. The linear range of H2S detection by this system is 0.5-15 μM, and the detection limit is 34.17 nM. Furthermore, the dye-sensitized core-shell NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4:Yb,Nd upconversion nanoprobe was applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LNPs) are speedily colonizing several research fields, such as biological (multimodal) imaging, photodynamic therapy, volumetric encoding displays, and photovoltaics. Yet, the electronic transitions of lanthanide ions obey the Laporte rule, which dramatically hampers their light absorption capabilities. As a result, the brightness of these species is severely restricted. This intrinsic poor absorption capability is the fundamental obstacle for untapping the full potential of LNPs in several of the aforementioned fields. Among others, three of the most promising physicochemical approaches that have arisen during last two decades to face the challenges of increasing LNP absorption are plasmonic enhancement, organic-dye sensitization, and coupling with semiconductors. The fundamental basis, remarkable highlights, and comparative achievements of each of these pathways for absorption enhancement are critically discussed in this minireview, which also includes a detailed discussion of the exciting perspectives ahead.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticle-mediated optogenetics enables remote delivery of upconverted visible light from a near-infrared light source to targeted neurons or areas, with the precision of a pulse of laser light in vivo for effective deep-tissue neuromodulation. Compared to conventional optogenetic tools, upconversion nanoparticle-based optogenetic techniques are less invasive and cause reduced inflammation with minimal levels of tissue damage. In addition to the optical stimulation, this design offers simultaneously temperature recording in proximity to the stimulated area. This chapter strives to provide life science researchers with an introduction to upconversion optogenetics, starting from the fundamental concept of photon upconversion and nanoparticle fabrication to the current state-of-the-art of surface engineering and device integration for minimally invasive neuromodulation.

Abstract
AbstractWe demonstrate the fabrication of a new DNA sensor that is based on the optical interactions occurring between oligonucleotide-coated NaYF4:Yb3+;Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles and the two-dimensional dichalcogenide materials, MoS2 and WS2. Monodisperse upconversion nanoparticles were functionalized with single-stranded DNA endowing the nanoparticles with the ability to interact with the surface of the two-dimensional materials via van der Waals interactions leading to subsequent quenching of the upconversion fluorescence. By contrast, in the presence of a complementary oligonucleotide target and the formation of double-stranded DNA, the upconversion nanoparticles could not interact with MoS2 and WS2, thus retaining their inherent fluorescence properties. Utilizing this sensor we were able to detect target oligonucleotides with high sensitivity and specificity whilst reaching a concentration detection limit as low as 5 mol·L−1, within minutes.

Abstract
Light in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region is increasingly utilized in bioapplications, providing deeper penetration in biological tissues owing to the lower absorption and scattering in comparison with light in the visible range. Lanthanide-doped luminescent nanoparticles with excitation and/or emission in the NIR range have recently attracted tremendous attention as one of the prime candidates for noninvasive biological applications due to their unique optical properties, such as large Stokes shift, spectrally sharp luminescence emissions, long luminescence lifetimes, and excellent photostability. Herein, recent advances of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles with NIR upconversion or downshifting luminescence and their uses in cutting-edge biophotonic applications are presented. A set of efficient strategies for overcoming the fundamental limit of low luminescence brightness of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles is introduced. An in-depth literature review of their state-of-art biophotonics applications is also included, showing their superiority for high-resolution imaging, single-nanoparticle-level detection, and efficacy for tissue-penetrating diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Photonic structures can be designed to tailor luminescence properties of materials, which becomes particularly interesting for non-linear phenomena, such as photon upconversion. However, there is no adequate theoretical framework to optimize photonic structure designs for upconversion enhancement. Here, we present a comprehensive theoretical model describing photonic effects on upconversion and confirm the model’s predictions by experimental realization of 1D-photonic upconverter devices with large statistics and parameter scans. The measured upconversion photoluminescence enhancement reaches 82 ± 24% of the simulated enhancement, in the mean of 2480 separate measurements, scanning the irradiance and the excitation wavelength on 40 different sample designs. Additionally, the trends expected from the modeled interaction of photonic energy density enhancement, local density of optical states and internal upconversion dynamics, are clearly validated in all experimentally performed parameter scans. Our simulation tool now opens the possibility of precisely designing photonic structure designs for various upconverting materials and applications. A theoretical framework to optimize photonic structure designs for upconversion enhancement is lacking. Here, the authors present a comprehensive theoretical model and confirm the model’s predictions by experimental realisation of 1D-photonic upconverter devices with large statistics and parameter scans.

Abstract
Tumor vaccine has shown outstanding advantages and good therapeutic effects in tumor immunotherapy. However, antigens in tumor vaccines can be easily cleared by the reticuloendothelium system in advance, which leads to poor therapeutic effect of tumor vaccines. Moreover, it was still hard to monitor the fate and distribution of antigens. To address these limitations, we synthesized a traceable nanovaccine based on gold nanocluster-labeled antigens and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for the treatment of melanoma in this study. PH-sensitive Schiff base bond is introduced between UCNPs and gold nanocluster-labeled ovalbumin antigens for monitoring antigens release. Our studies demonstrated that UCNPs conjugated metallic antigen showed excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive and therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Despite the rapid development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) over the past few years, the conversion of solar energy into electricity is not efficient enough or cost-competitive yet. The principal energy loss in the conversion of solar energy to electricity fundamentally originates from the non-absorption of low-energy photons ascribed to Shockley-Queisser limits and thermalization losses of high-energy photons. Enhancing the light-harvesting efficiency of the perovskite photoactive layer by developing efficient photo management strategies with functional materials and arrays remains a long-standing challenge. Here, we briefly review the historical research trials and future research trends to overcome the fundamental loss mechanisms in PSCs, including upconversion, downconversion, scattering, tandem/graded structures, texturing, anti-reflection, and luminescent solar concentrators. We will deeply emphasize the availability and analyze the importance of a fine device structure, fluorescence efficiency, material proportion, and integration position for performance improvement. The unique energy level structure arising from the 4fn inner shell configuration of the trivalent rare-earth ions gives multifarious options for efficient light-harvesting by upconversion and downconversion. Tandem or graded PSCs by combining a series of subcells with varying bandgaps seek to rectify the spectral mismatch. Plasmonic nanostructures function as a secondary light source to augment the light-trapping within the perovskite layer and carrier transporting layer, enabling enhanced carrier generation. Texturing the interior using controllable micro/nanoarrays can realize light-matter interactions. Anti-reflective coatings on the top glass cover of the PSCs bring about better transmission and glare reduction. Photon concentration through perovskite-based luminescent solar concentrators offers a path to increase efficiency at reduced cost and plays a role in building-integrated photovoltaics. Distinct from other published reviews, we here systematically and hierarchically present all of the photon management strategies in PSCs by presenting the theoretical possibilities and summarizing the experimental results, expecting to inspire future research in the field of photovoltaics, phototransistors, photoelectrochemical sensors, photocatalysis, and especially light-emitting diodes. We further assess the overall possibilities of the strategies based on ultimate efficiency prospects, material requirements, and developmental outlook.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), exhibiting excellent optical properties such as long photoluminescence lifetime, narrow emission bandwidth, and low autofluorescence background, have been applied in many fields, especially in biological analysis and medical diagnostics. Despite the exciting progress, the applications of Ln3+-doped UCNPs are hindered by the small absorption cross-section and low upconversion luminescence efficiency of Ln3+. To this regard, several effective strategies associated with energy transfer designing have been proposed to modulate the upconversion luminescence properties of Ln3+ in the past few decades. In this feature article, we focus on the most recent development of optical property designing in Ln3+-doped UCNPs on the basis of energy transfer between Ln3+-Ln3+, Ln3+-dyes, and Ln3+-quantum dots. Some future efforts towards the energy transfer designing in Ln3+-doped UCNPs are also proposed.
