A facile synthesis of NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+nanoparticles with tunable multicolor upconversion luminescence properties for cell imaging

Abstract: The ability to manipulate the upconversion luminescence of lanthanide-ion doped fluoride upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is critical and highly desired due to their wide applications in color displays, multiplexing bioassays and multicolor imaging. Here, we developed a facile strategy for simultaneously tuning color output and enhancing upconversion emission of Yb 3+ /Er 3+ doped fluoride UCNPs, based on adjusting the crystalline phases and particle size. With the transformation of crystalline phases from a… Show more

“…Coated with polyethyleneneimine, such particles were used to image cells. 153 Examples for applications include the kinetic determination of the activity of the enzyme phospholipase. 154 A mixture of a PEGylated phospholipid and a rhodamine-labeled phospholipid was deposited on an UCNP composed of hexagonal NaYF 4 doped with 20% Yb(III) and 2% Er(III).…”

“…The PL intensity increased with increasing reaction time, as shown in Figure . It is well known that the PL intensity from the hexagonal phase of NaLuGdF 4 is higher than that from the cubic phase . By increasing the reaction time, more hexagonal phases were formed from the cubic phase, resulting in the enhancement of the PL intensity.…”

“…The advantages of using lower energy as an excitation source include the low damage to analytes and the absence of photobleaching and autofluorescence interference. Luminescent inorganic nanoparticles doped with trivalent lanthanide (Ln 3+ ) ions have been widely employed in bioimaging, immunoassay, and analytical chemistry as the most efficient systems for visible UC photoluminescence (PL).…”
