Abstract
Pesticide residues in agricultural products pose a significant threat to human health. Herein, a sensitive fluorescence method employing upconversion nanoparticles was developed for detecting organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) based on the principle of enzyme inhibition and copper-triggered o-phenylenediamine (OPD) oxidation. Copper ions (Cu2+) oxidized the colorless OPD to a yellow 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD). The yellow solution oxOPD quenched the fluorescence of upconversion nanoparticles due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The high affinity of Cu2+ for thiocholine reduced the level of oxOPD, resulting in almost no fluorescence quenching. The addition of dimethoate led to the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity and thus prevented the formation of thiocholine. Subsequently, Cu2+ oxidized OPD to form oxOPD, which attenuated the fluorescence signal of the system. The detection system has a good linear range of 0.01 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.008 ng/mL, providing promising applications for rapid detection of dimethoate.

Abstract
Photon avalanche has received continuous attention owing to its superior nonlinear dynamics and promising advanced applications. However, its impact is limited due to the intrinsic energy levels as well as the harsh requirements for the composites and sizes of doped materials. Here, with a universal mechanism named tandem photon avalanche (TPA), giant optical nonlinear response up to 41st-order in erbium ions, one of the most important lanthanide emitters, has been achieved on the nanoscale through interfacial energy transfer process. After capturing energy directly from the avalanched energy state 3 H4 of Tm3+ (800-nm emission), erbium ions also exhibit bright green and red PA emissions with intensities comparable to that of Tm3+ at a low excitation threshold (7.1 kWcm-2 ). Using the same strategy, effective PA looping cycles are successfully activated in Ce3+ and Ho3+ . Additionally, Yb3+ -mediated networks are constructed to further propagate PA effects to lowly-doped Tm3+ , enabling 475-nm PA emission. The newly proposed TPA strategy provides a facile route for generating photon avalanche not only from erbium ions but also from various emitters in multilayered core-shell nanoparticles.

Abstract
Photoluminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are used as optical materials with excellent properties, of which the lanthanide-doped MOFs are able to emit in a broad region from visible to near-infrared due to their unique 4f-orbital electronic structure. Herein, Er3+ and Y3+ ions are selected as the metal centers of the MOFs and Er3+ is used as a sensitizer to absorb 980 nm excitation light. At the same time, Er3+ ions also act as activators that emit upconverting visible light and down-shifting near-infrared light. In addition, Tm3+, Ho3+, and Eu3+ ions were individually doped into the Er3+-doped MOFs to investigate the variation of energy-transfer paths in the presence of different lanthanide activators. Finally, the pathway of energy transfer in these Er3+-sensitized luminescent-MOFs was summarized. This work provides new insights for further development of both upconversion and down-shifting luminescence of MOFs.

Abstract
The development of Tm3+ 807 nm first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-1000 nm) emission with second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) excitation is urgently needed, due to its potential application in biomedicine. In this work, a range of NaErF4:Yb@NaYF4:Yb@NaYF4:Yb,Tm@NaYF4 multilayer core-shell structure upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were successfully prepared by a co-precipitation method. The strongest UC emissions can be obtained by changing the concentration of Yb3+ in the core and the first shell, and the proposed UC process was discussed in detail. The analysis shows that high-intensity NIR-I emission (807 nm) from Tm3+ and visible light from Er3+ were achieved through the energy migration among Yb3+ and the energy back transfer from Yb3+ to Er3+ under 1532 nm excitation. Besides, compared to bilayer UCNPs, multilayer core-shell UCNPs display superior optical performance. The high-intensity NIR-I emission at 807 nm (Tm3+:3H4 → 3H6) under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation demonstrates huge advantages in bioimaging.

Abstract
Smart control of ionic interactions is a key factor to manipulate the luminescence dynamics of lanthanides and tune their emission colors. However, it remains challenging to gain a deep insight into the physics involving the interactions between heavily doped lanthanide ions and in particular between the lanthanide sublattices for luminescent materials. Here we report a conceptual model to selectively manipulate the spatial interactions between erbium and ytterbium sublattices by designing a multilayer core-shell nanostructure. The interfacial cross-relaxation is found to be a leading process to quench the green emission of Er3+, and red-to-green color-switchable upconversion is realized by fine manipulation of the interfacial energy transfer on the nanoscale. Moreover, the temporal control of up-transition dynamics can also lead to an observation of green emission due to its fast rise time. Our results demonstrate a new strategy to achieve orthogonal upconversion, showing great promise in frontier photonic applications.

Abstract
Manipulating topological arrangement is a powerful tool for tuning energy migration in natural photosynthetic proteins and artificial polymers. Here, we report an inorganic optical nanosystem composed of NaErF4 and NaYbF4, in which topological arrangement enhanced upconversion luminescence. Three architectures are designed for considerations pertaining to energy migration and energy transfer within nanoparticles: outside-in, inside-out, and local energy transfer. The outside-in architecture produces the maximum upconversion luminescence, around 6-times brighter than that of the inside-out at the single-particle level. Monte Carlo simulation suggests a topology-dependent energy migration favoring the upconversion luminescence of outside-in structure. The optimized outside-in structure shows more than an order of magnitude enhancement of upconversion brightness compared to the conventional core-shell structure at the single-particle level and is used for long-term single-particle tracking in living cells. Our findings enable rational nanoprobe engineering for single-molecule imaging and also reveal counter-intuitive relationships between upconversion nanoparticle structure and optical properties.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence (PersL) has been attracting substantial attention in diverse frontier applications such as optical information security and in vivo bioimaging. However, most of the reported PersL emissions are based on the dopants instead of the host matrix, which also plays an important role. In addition, there are few works on the PersL-based multifunctional nanoplatform in nanosized materials. Here, we report a class of novel nanostructure designs with PersL, upconversion, and down-shifting luminescence to realize the fine-tuning of emission colors under different excitation modes including steady-state irradiation, time-gating, and PersL generation. Blue, orange, and green emissions were easily achieved in such a single nanoparticle under suitable excitation modes. Moreover, the physical origin of the PersL of the CaF2 matrix was discussed by simulating the energy band structure with CaxFy defects. Our results provide new opportunities for the design of a new class of multifunctional materials, showing great promise in the field of information encryption security and multilevel anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
The radiative and multiphonon non-radiative relaxation rates of lanthanide ions are intrinsic parameters to characterize the optical properties, which are the basic data for the theoretical model and numerical simulation of lanthanide upconversion systems. However, there are complex energy transfer processes, such as energy migration, energy transfer upconversion, and cross-relaxation in the lanthanide-doped upconversion materials, so it is difficult to accurately measure the intrinsic radiative and multiphonon relaxation rates. Therefore, a method to determine the relaxation rates of multi-level upconversion systems is proposed based on multi-wavelength excitation and level-by-level parameter calculations in this paper. For a dilute doped multi-level luminescence system excited at low powers, a model based on the measurements of steady-state emission spectra and luminescence decay curves is established through the macroscopic rate equations at multi-wavelength excitation, which can be used for the level-by-level calculation of the multi-level radiative and multiphonon relaxation rates. With the dilute doped β-NaYF4:Er3+ six-level luminescence system as an example, the measurement method and the model are introduced in detail. Under the experimental conditions of neglecting the energy transfer effect between ions, the materials are excited by five lasers with central wavelengths of 1523 nm, 980 nm, 808 nm, 660 nm, and 520 nm to form five subsystems. The steady-state emission spectra and luminescence decay curves of the luminescence system excited by each wavelength were recorded. The intrinsic relaxation rates including 11 radiative relaxation rates and 4 multiphonon relaxation rates in the β-NaYF4:Er3+ six-level system were determined based on the established model and method, which experimentally verified the applicability of the method proposed in this paper. This work will provide basic data for the analysis and regulation of the luminescence properties of lanthanide upconversion systems.

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.

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
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.
