Abstract
Fluoride-based lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LDNPs) featuring second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) downconversion emission for bioimaging have attracted extensive attention. However, conventional LDNPs cannot be degraded and eliminated from organisms because of an inert lattice, which obstructs bioimaging applications. Herein, the core-shell LDNPs of Na3HfF7:Yb,Er@CaF2:Ce,Zr(Hf) [labeled as Zr(Hf)Ce-HC] with pH-selective and tunable degradability were synthesized for dual-modal bioimaging. Notably, the "softening" lattice of the Na3HfF7 matrix and different Zr4+(Hf4+) doping amounts in the shell enable Zr(Hf)Ce-HC with acidity-dependent and tunable degradability. After coating of an optimized Ce3+-doped CaF2:Zr shell, the near-infrared-IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) luminescence intensity of ZrCe-HC is enhanced by 5.2 times compared with that of Na3HfF7:Yb,Er. The Hf element with high X-ray attenuation allows ZrCe-HC as the contrast agent for computed tomography (CT) bioimaging. The modification of oxidized sodium alginate endows ZrCe-HC with satisfying biocompatibility for NIR-IIb/CT dual-modal bioimaging. These findings would benefit the bioimaging applications of degradable fluoride-based LDNPs.

Abstract
With the improvement of the hygiene awareness and pathogen prevention awareness of patients and medical staff, textiles with efficient and long-lasting pathogen inactivation effects are urgently needed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has rapidly developed into a new type of antibacterial technology due to its high antibacterial activity and has received widespread attention. However, the commonly used photosensitizers are mostly inorganic nanomaterials, which have poor adhesion to textiles and are not environmentally or human friendly. Here, we report a strategy of preparation of a sunlight-driven rechargeable antibacterial textiles based on natural antibacterial agents, which can work in light and dark conditions. The prepared BD-PTL@wool has long-lasting antibacterial properties, can rapidly produce ROS, and can store sterilization activity under light irradiation, ensuring all-day bacterial killing (>99.95 % under light irradiation and >99.80 % under dark conditions after light irradiation). BD-PTL@wool has excellent reusability, and the antibacterial rate can still above 95 % after repeated use for 5 times. In addition, BD-PTL@wool has excellent hydrophilic, UV resistance, biocompatibility and can withstand 50 washing cycles. The successful application of this strategy in textile preparation broadens the research idea for exploring the application of green photosensitive antibacterial materials in textile field.

Abstract
The abnormal Fe3+ level is known to cause various diseases, such as heart failure, liver damage and neurodegeneration. In situ probing Fe3+ in living cells or organisms is highly desired for both biological research and medical diagnostics. Herein, hybrid nanocomposites NaEuF4@TCPP were constructed by the assembly of an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) TCPP and NaEuF4 nanocrystals (NCs). The anchored TCPP on the surface of NaEuF4 NCs can reduce rotational relaxation of the excited state and efficiently transfer the energy to the Eu3+ ions with minimized nonradiative energy loss. Consequently, the prepared NaEuF4@TCPP nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited an intense red emission with a 103-fold enhancement relative to that in NaEuF4 NCs under 365 nm excitation. A selectively quenching response to Fe3+ ions for the NaEuF4@TCPP NPs makes them luminescent probes for sensitive detection of Fe3+ ions with a low detection limit of 340 nM. Moreover, the luminescence of NaEuF4@TCPP NPs could be recovered by the addition of iron chelators. Benefiting from their good biocompatibility and stability in living cells, together with the characteristic of the reversible luminescence response, the lipo-coated NaEuF4@TCPP probes were successfully applied for real-time monitoring of Fe3+ ions in living HeLa cells. These results are expected to motivate the exploration of AIE-based lanthanide probes for sensing and biomedical applications.

Assessing the reproducibility and up-scaling of the synthesis of Er,Yb-doped NaYF 4-based upconverting nanoparticles and control of size, morphology, and optical properties. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2288.

Abstract
Lanthanide-based, spectrally shifting, and multi-color luminescent upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have received much attention in the last decades because of their applicability as reporter for bioimaging, super-resolution microscopy, and sensing as well as barcoding and anti-counterfeiting tags. A prerequisite for the broad application of UCNPs in areas such as sensing and encoding are simple, robust, and easily upscalable synthesis protocols that yield large quantities of UCNPs with sizes of 20 nm or more with precisely controlled and tunable physicochemical properties from low-cost reagents with a high reproducibility. In this context, we studied the reproducibility, robustness, and upscalability of the synthesis of β-NaYF4:Yb, Er UCNPs via thermal decomposition. Reaction parameters included solvent, precursor chemical compositions, ratio, and concentration. The resulting UCNPs were then examined regarding their application-relevant physicochemical properties such as size, size distribution, morphology, crystal phase, chemical composition, and photoluminescence. Based on these screening studies, we propose a small volume and high-concentration synthesis approach that can provide UCNPs with different, yet controlled size, an excellent phase purity and tunable morphology in batch sizes of up to at least 5 g which are well suited for the fabrication of sensors, printable barcodes or authentication and recycling tags.

Abstract
Cancer-causing dye Sudan III is banned adding to cosmetics, so a method for detecting trace Sudan III in cosmetics is established. A single dispersed up-conversion molecularly imprinted fluorescent nanoprobe is constructed and coated on the filter paper. The mechanism for detecting Sudan III by this composite fluorescent nanoprobes-paper is systematically analyzed. The fluorescent response (max emission peak is at 541 nm) is linearly related to 10-1000 nM Sudan III, and Sudan III can be selectively recognized (imprinting factor increased to 4.1). The limit of detection and quantitation are further reduced to 2.89 nM and 9.63 nM, respectively. The recoveries of Sudan III in lipstick samples are between 93.18 and 108.3%, and relative standard deviation is less than or equal to 4.6%. Trace Sudan III in cosmetics are detected accurately and sensitively by this method due to up-conversion nanoparticles with little interference of background fluorescence and molecularly imprinted polymers with selective enrichment.

Abstract
Fluorescent bio/chemosensors are widely used in the field of biological research and medical diagnosis, with the advantages of non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. In particular, luminescent bio/chemosensors, based on lanthanide nanocrystals (LnNCs) with a second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission, have attracted much attention, owing to greater penetration depth, aside from the merits of narrow emission band, abundant emission lines, and long lifetimes. In this review, NIR-II LnNCs-based bio/chemo sensors are summarized from the perspectives of the mechanisms of NIR-II luminescence, synthesis method of LnNCs, strategy of luminescence enhancement, sensing mechanism, and targeted bio/chemo category. Finally, the problems that exist in present LnNCs-based bio/chemosensors are discussed, and the future development trend is prospected.

Abstract
BaY2F8 nanoparticles (NPs), doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ ions, were successfully produced by high-energy ball-milling. High-quality monoclinic single crystals (sp. gr. C2/m, a = 0.6969(3), b = 1.0502(1), c = 0.4254(1) nm, β = 99.676°) grown from the melt by the Bridgman technique were used as raw materials. The prepared nanocrystals were comprehensively studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and optical spectroscopy. The fabrication possibility of single-phase irregular shaped Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs in the size range of 20–100 nm with a milling duration of 10 h at 600 rpm is demonstrated. Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs show intense luminescence by both up- (λ = 540 and 650 nm) and down-conversion (λ = 1540 nm) mechanisms upon IR excitation (λ = 980 nm). A qualitative comparison of the spectroscopic characteristics of the produced Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs with the initial bulk crystal and the widely used up-conversion β-Na1.5(Y1.17Yb0.3Er0.03)F6 NPs is presented. Experimental data offer great opportunities of the Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs applications in nanophotonics and biotechnology. High-energy ball-milling has potential as a versatile method for the scalable production of fluoride nanoparticles.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped metal-organic frameworks (Y/Yb/Er-MOF) were synthesized by a low-cost solvothermal method. The obtained Y/Yb/Er-MOF shows the cooperative upconversion luminescence of Yb3+ and upconversion luminescence of Er3+ (Yb3+-sensitized) irradiated by a continuous wave 980 nm laser. In order to explore the potential application of Y/Yb/Er-MOF in relative humidity (RH) sensors, the RH responsiveness of Y/Yb/Er-MOF was investigated by measuring the intensity changes of upconversion luminescence. The Y/Yb/Er-MOF possesses two luminescence centers, in which Yb3+ forms emission at 500 nm through the cooperative luminescence effect, and Er3+ achieves 660 nm emission through excited state absorption and successive energy transfer from Yb3+. Hence, the ratio meter luminescence sensor for RH is constructed based on Y/Yb/Er-MOF. The results show that the response of Y/Yb/Er-MOF to RH presents a linear relationship in the range of 11–95%. The cycle stability of Y/Yb/Er-MOF responses to RH was investigated with the intensity changes of upconversion luminescence, and the recovery ratio was more than 93% each time. Therefore, the Y/Yb/Er-MOF is a humidity-sensitive material with great potential for applications such as humidity sensors.

Abstract
A new method was developed for selectively and rapidly detecting carcinogen 4-aminobiphenyl, with lower limit of detection and wider linear range. Up-conversion nanoparticles β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+ was the first time to choose as light-emitting signal component. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with specific recognition ability were successfully coated on the surface of β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+ to obtain a nano fluorescent probe for detecting 4-aminobiphenyl. The effect of addition amount of β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+ on the detection ability of β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@MIPs was studied, and composite fluorescence nanoprobe with the best performance was obtained. β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@MIPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The fluorescence intensity of β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@MIPs decreased significantly compared with molecularly non-imprinted polymers β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@NIPs (the maximum emission peak is at 541 nm) in the presence of 4-aminobiphenyl. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics between UCNP@MIPs and 4-ABP have been investigated and a satisfactory imprinting factor is 2.5. The detection mechanism is proved to be based on Langmuir adsorption and internal filtration effect. Under optimal experimental conditions, the limit of detection and quantification are 0.16 μM and 0.53 μM, respectively. The linear range of response is 1-50 μM, and RSD is less than 6.7%. This method was applied to determining river water samples in order to evaluate the practicability, and the good recovery rate is between 98.89% and 109.7%. These evidences demonstrate that β-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@MIPs is successfully used for the detection of 4-aminobiphenyl.

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging provides more possibility of in vivo multiplexing in second near infrared (NIR-II) window. However, it still faces the obstacle that fluorescent probes with differentiable lifetime often exhibit quite different fluorescence intensity, especially the short lifetime usually accompanies with a weak fluorescence intensity, resulting in the difficulty for simultaneously decoding multiplexed lifetime information due to the interference of background noise. To facilitate high-fidelity lifetime multiplexed imaging, we developed a series of Er3+ doped double interface fluorescent nanoprobes (Er-DINPs): α-NaYF4 @NaErF4 : Ce@NaYbF4 @NaErF4 : Ce@NaYF4 with strong fluorescence intensity and easily distinguishable fluorescence lifetime. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results confirmed the advantage of these probes with comparable fluorescence intensity for high-fidelity multiplexed lifetime bioimaging.

Abstract
In vivo imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm), which enables us to look deeply into living subjects, is producing marvelous opportunities for biomedical research and clinical applications. Very recently, there has been an upsurge of interdisciplinary studies focusing on developing versatile types of inorganic/organic fluorophores that can be used for noninvasive NIR-IIa/IIb imaging (NIR-IIa, 1300-1400 nm; NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) with near-zero tissue autofluorescence and deeper tissue penetration. This review provides an overview of the reports published to date on the design, properties, molecular imaging, and theranostics of inorganic/organic NIR-IIa/IIb fluorophores. First, we summarize the design concepts of the up-to-date functional NIR-IIa/IIb biomaterials, in the order of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), quantum dots (QDs), rare-earth-doped nanoparticles (RENPs), and organic fluorophores (OFs). Then, these novel imaging modalities and versatile biomedical applications brought by these superior fluorescent properties are reviewed. Finally, challenges and perspectives for future clinical translation, aiming at boosting the clinical application progress of NIR-IIa and NIR-IIb imaging technology are highlighted.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has raised a great social concern together with the impetus for exploring advanced antibacterial ways. NIR-triggered antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) by lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) as energy donor exhibits the advantages of high tissue penetration, broad antibacterial spectrum and less acquired resistance, but is still limited by its low efficacy. Now we designed a bio-inorganic nanohybrid and combined lysozyme (LYZ) with UCNP-PDT system to enhance the efficiency against resistant bacteria. Benefiting from the rapid adhesion to bacteria, intelligently bacteria-responsive LYZ release and synergistic LYZ-PDT effect, the nanoplatform achieves an exceptionally strong bactericidal capacity and conspicuous bacteriostasis on methicillin-resistant S. aureus. These findings pave the way for designing efficiently antibacterial nanomaterials and provide a new strategy for combating deep-tissue bacterial infection.

Abstract
This paper reports the synthesis of high-quality upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) - sodium yttrium tetrafluoride doped with ytterbium and erbium (NaYF4:Yb,Er) with a silica shell and capped with phenyl functional groups. The main goal of this research was to design tailor-made UCNPs for fingermark detection, to test and validate a nanoparticle-based detection technique and to compare their performance against a benchmark method to assess potential implementation in routine practice by law enforcement agencies. The water-based UCNPs solution was applied to natural fingermarks on a number of substrates. This is the first ever systematic comparative study between UCNPs and a benchmark fingermark detection technique - cyanoacrylate fuming (CAF) followed by luminescent dye staining. Fingermark detection effectiveness was studied by treating 300 latent fingermark specimens on aluminium foil, polyethylene, polypropylene and glass slides. It was concluded that, on average, CAF performed better across the substrates tested. Nevertheless, UCNPs can be advantageous for fingermark detection on multicoloured, patterned or luminescent substrates due to their unique optical properties. There are, however, shortfalls associated with their synthesis and use that need to be addressed before they can be considered for operational purposes.

Abstract
In this work, a core-shell structured upconversion nanoparticles@zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) fluorescent nanoprobe (NaErF4:Tm@SiO2@ZIF-8) has been designed for the detection of gallic acid (GA). The mechanism is according to the 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) can be oxidized to oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by Ag+. Under 980 nm laser excitation, NaErF4:Tm@SiO2@ZIF-8 can emit red light at 652 nm, which have a good overlap with the absorption spectra of oxTMB, resulting in the fluorescence quenching at 652 nm. Continually adding GA into the above solution, oxTMB will restore to TMB, and the fluorescence intensity at 652 nm gradually recovers, which can realize the detection towards GA. The linear detection range of GA is from 0 to 30 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) of GA is 0.35 μM. The ZIF-8 can largely enhance the sensitivity of the nanoprobe, due to the physical absorption and the electrostatic attraction between ZIF-8 and the oxTMB. More importantly, this is the first time to realize the detection of GA with high sensitivity by using upconversion fluorescence. Besides, we have realized the analysis of GA in real samples, which certify the feasible of the nanoprobe in potential applications.

Abstract
The point-of-care detection of tumor markers in saliva with high sensitivity and specificity remains a daunting challenge in biomedical research and clinical applications. Herein, a facile and ultrasensitive detection of tumor marker in saliva based on luminescence-amplification strategy of lanthanide nanoprobes is proposed. Eu2O3 nanocrystals are employed as bioprobes, which can be easily dissolved in acidic enhancer solution and transform into a large number of highly luminescent Eu3+ micelles. Meanwhile, disposable syringe filter equipped with nitrocellulose membrane is used as bioassay platform, which facilitates the accomplishment of detection process within 10 min. The rational integration of dissolution enhanced luminescent bioassay strategy and miniaturized detection device enables the unique lab-in-syringe assay of tumor marker like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, an important tumor marker in clinic diagnosis and prognosis of cancer) with a detection limit down to 1.47 pg mL-1 (7.35 × 10-15 m). Upon illumination with a portable UV flashlight, the photoluminescence intensity change above 0.1 ng mL-1 (0.5 × 10-12 m) of CEA can be visually detected by naked eyes, which allows one to qualitatively evaluate the CEA level. Moreover, we confirm the reliability of using the amplified luminescence of Eu2O3 nanoprobes for direct quantitation of CEA in patient saliva samples, thus validates the practicality of the proposed strategy for both clinical diagnosis and home self-monitoring of tumor marker in human saliva.

Abstract
Luminescent biosensing in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) region, which has weak tissue scattering and low autofluorescence, draws extensive attention owing to its deep tissue penetration, good spatial resolution and high signal-to-background ratio. As a new generation of NIR-II probes, lanthanide (Ln3+)-containing nanoprobes exhibit several superior properties. With the rapid development of Ln3+-containing NIR-II nanoprobes, many significant advances have been accomplished in their optical properties tuning and surface functional modification for further bioapplications. Rather than being exhaustive, this review aims to survey the recent advances in the design strategies of inorganic Ln3+-containing NIR-II luminescent nanoprobes by highlighting their optical performance optimization and surface modification approaches. Moreover, challenges and opportunities for this kind of novel NIR-II nanoprobes are envisioned.

Abstract
Monodisperse Tb-doped NaCeF4 nanocrystals were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The morphology, and room temperature and temperature dependent luminescent properties were investigated. Excited at 254 nm, the emissions of Ce3+ at 270-370 nm and those of Tb3+ at 475-700 nm can be observed. The strongest visible emission was observed in NaCeF4:20 at% Tb with a quantum yield of 49%. The efficiency of energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ increases with the Tb3+ doping concentration and reaches 95% for NaCeF4:30 at% Tb. The ratio of Tb3+ emission to Ce3+ emission is sensitive to temperature, and the relative sensitivity was calculated to be 1.0% °C-1 at 60 °C. The mechanisms for this thermal dependence were analyzed in terms of non-radiative relaxation and energy migration.

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.

Abstract
Rare-earth (RE) based luminescent probes exhibit rich optical properties including upconversion and down-conversion luminescence spanning a broad spectral range from 300 to 3,000 nm, and have generated great scientific and practical interest from telecommunication to biological imaging. While upconversion nanoparticles have been investigated for decades, down-conversion luminescence of RE-based probes in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm) window for in vivo biological imaging with sub-centimeter tissue penetration and micrometer image resolution has come into light only recently. In this review, we present recent progress on RE-based NIR-II probes for in vivo vasculature and molecular imaging with a focus on Er3+-based nanoparticles due to the down-conversion luminescence at the long-wavelength end of the NIR-II window (NIR-IIb, 1,500-1,700 nm). Imaging in NIR-IIb is superior to imaging with organic probes such as ICG and IRDye800 in the ~ 800 nm NIR range and the 1,000-1,300 nm short end of NIR-II range, owing to minimized light scattering and autofluorescence background. Doping by cerium and other ions and phase engineering of Er3+-based nanoparticles, combined with surface hydrophilic coating optimization can afford ultrabright, biocompatible NIR-IIb probe towards clinical translation for human use. The Nd3+-based probes with NIR-II emission at 1,050 and 1,330 nm are also discussed, including Nd3+ doped nanocrystals and Nd3+-organic ligand complexes. This review also points out future directions for further development of multi-functional RE NIR-II probes for biological imaging.

Abstract
Near-infrared lights have received increasing attention regarding imaging applications owing to their large tissue penetration depth, high spatial resolution, and outstanding signal-to-noise ratio, particularly those falling in the second near-infrared window (NIR II) of biological tissues. Rare earth nanoparticles containing Er3+ ions are promising candidates to show up-conversion luminescence in the first near-infrared window (NIR I) and down-conversion luminescence in NIR II as well. However, synthesizing particles with small size and high NIR II luminescence quantum yield (QY) remains challenging. Er3+ ions are herein innovatively combined with Yb3+ ions in a NaErF4 @NaYbF4 core/shell manner instead of being codoped into NaLnF4 matrices, to maximize the concentration of Er3+ in the emitting core. After further surface coating, NaErF4 @NaYbF4 @NaYF4 core/shell/shell particles are obtained. Spectroscopy studies are carried out to show the synergistic impacts of the intermediate NaYbF4 layer and the outer NaYF4 shell. Finally, NaErF4 @NaYbF4 @NaYF4 nanoparticles of 30 nm with NIR II luminescence QY up to 18.7% at room temperature are obtained. After covalently attaching folic acid on the particle surface, tumor-specific nanoprobes are obtained for simultaneously visualizing both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal tumor xenografts in vivo. The ultrahigh QY of down-conversion emission also allows for visualization of the biodistribution of folate receptors.

Abstract
In this study, the bio-inspired self-cracking substrate can be employed as a template to control the formation of a robust mirco-patterning film. Uniform materials with variable diameters are achieved by optimizing the egg white/water ratios and reaction temperature. The incorporated europium ions exhibit its typical f-f transitions in patterned films. Moreover, the mechanical property and excellent transmittance features have been demonstrated. The current approach can be extended to design two-dimensional nanofabrication of different materials.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2019; 6:1901874. [PMID: 31763157 PMCID: PMC6864516 DOI: 10.1002/advs.201901874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 09/06/2019] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
Intracellular detection is highly desirable for biological research and clinical diagnosis, yet its quantitative analysis with noninvasivity, sensitivity, and accuracy remains challenging. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) dual-excitation strategy is reported for ratiometric intracellular detection through the design of dye-sensitized upconversion probes and employment of a purpose-built NIR dual-laser confocal microscope. NIR dye IR808, a recognizer of intracellular analyte hypochlorite, is introduced as energy donor and Yb,Er-doped NaGdF4 upconversion nanoparticles are adopted as energy acceptor in the as-designed nanoprobes. The efficient analyte-dependent energy transfer and low background luminescence endow the nanoprobes with ultrahigh sensitivity. In addition, with the nonanalyte-dependent upconversion luminescence (UCL) excited by 980 nm as a self-calibrated signal, the interference from environmental fluctuation can be alleviated. Furthermore, the dual 808/980 nm excited ratiometric UCL is demonstrated for the quantification of the level of intracellular hypochlorite. Particularly, the intrinsic hypochlorite with only nanomolar concentration in live MCF-7 cells in the absence of exogenous stimuli is determined. Such an NIR dual-excitation ratiometric strategy based on dye-sensitized UCL probes can be easily extended to detect various intracellular analytes through tailoring the reactive NIR dyes, which provides a promising tool for probing biochemical processes in live cells and diagnosing diseases.

Abstract
Due to the high atomic number of lutetium and the low phonon energy of the fluoride matrix, Lu-based fluoride nanoparticles doped with active lanthanide ions are potential candidates as bioprobes in both X-ray computed tomography and luminescent imaging. This paper shows a method for the fabrication of uniform, water-dispersible Eu3+:(H3O)Lu3F10 nanoparticles doped with different Eu contents. Their luminescent properties were studied by means of excitation and emission spectra as well as decay curves. The X-ray attenuation capacity of the phosphor showing the highest emission intensity was subsequently analyzed and compared with a commercial contrast agent. The results indicated that the 10% Eu3+-doped (H3O)Lu3F10 nanoparticles fabricated with the proposed polyol-based method are good candidates to be used as dual probes for luminescent imaging and X-ray computed tomography.

Abstract
The emission properties of lanthanide ions have been extensively investigated for their interesting physical processes and enormous applications. Conventional strategies have been used to modify luminescence properties such as temperature, pressure, and modifying components. However, the traditional methods are volatile and irreversible, which is unconducive for some optoelectronic applications. In this article, the electromechanical softness of the ferroelectric lattice is employed, which makes the strong coupling relationship between the electric field and the photonic properties of lanthanide ions. The emission intensity of the Tm3+:3H4-4H6 and 3F4-4H6 transitions was exceptionally enhanced by 2.6 and 3.2 times via ferroelectric polarization, respectively. Meanwhile, the luminescence response presents excellent reversibility and nonvolatility. This study provides a unique proposal for designing highly integrated stimuli-responsive photonic materials toward a variety of applications.

Abstract
Developing robust and high-efficient synthesis approaches has significant importance for the expanded applications of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Here, we report a high-throughput synthesis strategy to fabricate water-dispersible core-shell structured UCNPs. Firstly, we successfully obtain more than 10 grams core UCNPs with high quality from one-pot reaction using liquid rare-earth precursors. Afterwards, different core-shell structured UCNPs are fabricated by successive layer-by-layer strategy to get enhanced fluorescence property. Finally, the hydrophobic UCNPs are modified with poly(ethylene glycol) monooleate (PEG-OA) though a novel physical grinding method. On the basis of mass-production, we use the as-prepared PEG-UCNPs to construct an 808-nm stimuli photodynamic therapy agent, and apply them in cancer therapy and bio-imaging.

Abstract
The ability to control the upconversion (UC) luminescence patterns in space from lanthanide-doped UC luminescence materials is very important for many applications including three-dimensional color displays, optical waveguides and optical communication. In this work, the fascinating UC luminescence patterns could be adjusted from the blue or green flower-like emission pattern to the red flame-like irradiation pattern with a red luminescence enhancement from a single β-NaYF4:Yb3+/(Tm3+ or Er3+) microcrystal (MC) by varying the excitation position. The red-to-blue (R/B) and the red-to-green (R/G) emission intensity ratios from the single MC particle that the focal point position of excitation NIR laser is on the side lace are much stronger than that in the case of the focused laser beam on the center. We think that the physical mechanism from the changes in the luminescence pattern and the emission intensity ratio is explained by the optical waveguide effect based on the total reflection effect. These results provide a new strategy for facilitating fundamental investigations of the UC micro/nano-materials, which will lead to promising applications in three-dimensional color display, optical waveguides and optical communication. The UC luminescence patterns can be controlled from the flower-like emission pattern to the red flame-like irradiation pattern with a red luminescence enhancement for a single lanthanide-doped fluoride material by varying the excitation position.![]()
