Color-tunable up-conversion emission in Y2O3:Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticles prepared by polymer complex solution method.

ABSTRACT: Powders of Y2O3 co-doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ composed of well-crystallized nanoparticles (30 to 50 nm in diameter) with no adsorbed ligand species on their surface are prepared by polymer complex solution method. These powders exhibit up-conversion emission upon 978-nm excitation with a color that can be tuned from green to red by changing the Yb3+/Er3+ concentration ratio. The mechanism underlying up-conversion color changes is presented along with material structural and optical properties. PACS: 42.70.-a, 78.55.Hx, 78.60.-b.

Gd3+-Doping Effect on Upconversion Emission of NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+/Tm3+ Microparticles.

Project description:β-NaYF4 microcrystals co-doped with Yb3+, Er3+/Tm3+, and Gd3+ ions were synthesized via a hydrothermal method using rare-earth chlorides as the precursors. The SEM and XRD data show that the doped β-NaYF4 form uniform hexagonal prisms with an approximate size of 600-800 nm. The partial substitution of Y by Gd results in size reduction of microcrystals. Upconversion luminescence spectra of microcrystals upon 980 nm excitation contain characteristic intra-configurational ff bands of Er3+/Tm3+ ions. An addition of Gd3+ ions leads to a significant enhancement of upconversion luminescence intensity with maxima at 5 mol % of dopant.

Enhanced Power Conversion Efficiency of Perovskite Solar Cells with an Up-Conversion Material of Er3+-Yb3+-Li+ Tri-doped TiO2.

Project description:In this paper, Er3+-Yb3+-Li+ tri-doped TiO2 (UC-TiO2) was prepared by an addition of Li+ to Er3+-Yb3+ co-doped TiO2. The UC-TiO2 presented an enhanced up-conversion emission compared with Er3+-Yb3+ co-doped TiO2. The UC-TiO2 was applied to the perovskite solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the solar cells without UC-TiO2 was 14.0%, while the PCE of the solar cells with UC-TiO2 was increased to 16.5%, which presented an increase of 19%. The results suggested that UC-TiO2 is an effective up-conversion material. And this study provided a route to expand the spectral absorption of perovskite solar cells from visible light to near-infrared using up-conversion materials.

Effect of Mn2+ on Upconversion Emission, Thermal Sensing and Optical Heater Behavior of Yb3+ - Er3+ Codoped NaGdF4 Nanophosphors.

Project description:In thiswork, we investigate the influence of Mn2+ on the emission color, thermal sensing and optical heater behavior of NaGdF4: Yb/Er nanophosphors, which the nanoparticles were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using oleic acid as both a stabilizing and a chelating agent. The morphology and crystal size of upconversion nano particles (UCNPs) can be effectively controlled through the addition of Mn2+ dopant contents in NaGdF4: Yb/Er system. Moreover, an enhancement in overall UCL spectra of Mn2+ doped UCNPs for NaGdF4 host compared to the UCNPs is observed, which results from a closed back-energy transfer between Er3+ and Mn2+ ions (4S3/2 (Er3+) ? 4T1 (Mn2+) ? 4F9/2 (Er3+)). The temperature sensitivity of NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+ doping with Mn2+ based on thermally coupled levels (2H11/2 and 4S3/2) of Er3+ is similar to that particles without Mn2+ in the 303-548 K range. And the maximum sensitivity is 0.0043 K-1 at 523 K for NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+/Mn2+. Interestingly, the NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+/Mn2+ shows preferable optical heating behavior, which is reaching a large value of 50 K. These results indicate that inducing of Mn2+ ions in NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanophosphors has potential in colorful display, temperature sensor.

KMnF₃:Yb3+,Er3+ Core-Active-Shell Nanoparticles with Broadband Down-Shifting Luminescence at 1.5 μm for Polymer-Based Waveguide Amplifiers.

Project description:In this study, we prepared cubic-phase oleic-acid-coated KMnF₃: Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles (NPs) and NaYF₄:Yb3+,Er3+ NPs, which were about 23 nm. From the down-shifting emissions spectra of the two NPs obtained by 980 nm excitation, we observed the fact that the KMnF₃: 18%Yb3+,1%Er3+ NPs were a luminescent material with a broadband near-infrared emission of 1.5 μm, and full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 55 cm-1, which was wider than that of the NaYF₄: 18%Yb3+,1% NPs. Therefore, we believe that the oleic-acid-coated KMnF₃:Yb3+,Er3+ NPs have great potential in fabricating broadband waveguide amplifiers. Through epitaxial growth of a KMnF₃: Yb3+ active-shell on the core NPs, we compounded KMnF₃:Yb3+,Er3+@KMnF₃:Yb3+ core-active-shell NPs whose 1.5-μm infrared emissions intensity was 3.4 times as strong as that of the core NPs. In addition, we manufactured waveguide amplifiers using KMnF₃:18%Yb3+,1%Er3+@KMnF₃:2%Yb3+ NPs as the core materials of the waveguide amplifiers. When the input signal power was 0.2 mW and the pump power was 200 mW, we achieved a relative gain of 0.6 dB at 1534 nm in a 10-mm long waveguide.

Triple-doped KMnF3:Yb3+/Er3+/Tm3+ nanocubes: four-color upconversion emissions with strong red and near-infrared bands.

Project description:Triple-doped (Yb(3+)/Er(3+)/Tm(3+)) KMnF3 nanocubes with uniform sizes of 250 nm were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route using the oleic acid as the capping agent. It was found that these nanocubes can simultaneously exhibited four-color (blue, green, red and NIR) upconversion emissions under a single 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser excitation, which should have potential multicolor in vivo imaging applications. Specifically, the red (660 nm) and NIR (800 nm) peaks, known as two "optical windows" for imaging biological tissues, were strong. The spectral and pump analyses indicated the two-photon processes were responsible for the both red and NIR emissions.

Hybrid Color-Tunable Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes Using Electrospraying.

Project description:This paper proposes a new paradigm in polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) fabrication by using a uniform electrosprayed microparticle film as the active layer. Among the seven electrospraying parameters analyzed, three crucial parameters are statistically identified and optimized to obtain thin electrosprayed microparticle layers. Using optimized electrospraying conditions, single-color red-emitting PLED (MEH-PPV) with a peak current density of 16.1 mA/mm2 under a 13.5 V bias and a peak external quantum efficiency of 3.2% are successfully fabricated. Finally, a combinatorial approach is implemented using both MEH-PPV (red-emitting) and F8BT (green-emitting) polymer microparticles at different mixing ratios to tune the emission spectrum of the devices. As such, it has been demonstrated that hybrid multilayer films using different organic materials with nonorthogonal solvents can be produced using this new approach. The parameter analysis and color-tunable properties pave the way towards white light PLED fabrication.

Highly efficient up-conversion luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals by vertical Bridgman method.

Project description:Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals with different concentrations of Yb3+ ions were prepared to investigate their phase structure, up-conversion (UC) properties and mechanism of UC luminescence by Bridgman method. Under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation, three sharp UC emission bands topping at green ~525 nm, ~548 nm and red ~669 nm were obtained in Er3+/Yb3+ doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals which are attributing to the transitions of 2H11/2 → 4I15/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and 4F9/2 → 4I15/2, respectively. The quadratic dependence of pump power on UC emission indicated that two-photon process is in charge of the transition from excited state of Yb3+ ions to lower state of Er3+ ion in Na5Lu9F32 single crystals. The long-accepted mechanism for the production of red and green emissions through up-conversion (UC) under 980 nm excitation in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped materials apply in the Na5Lu9F32 host was displayed. The enhancement of the red emission was observed due to a cross-relaxation (CR) process of the form: 4F7/2 + 4I11/2 → 4F9/2 + 4F9/2. Furthermore, an ideal yellowish green light performance could be achieved with 1.0 mol% Er3+ doped certain Yb3+ concentrations samples, and its external quantum efficiency approached to 6.80% under 5.5 Wcm-2 980 nm excitation which can be applied in developing UC displays for electro-optical devices.

Tuning the upconversion photoluminescence lifetimes of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ through lanthanide Gd3+ doping.

Project description:The multiplexing capacity of conventional fluorescence materials are significantly limited by spectral overlap and background interference, mainly due to their short-lived fluorescence lifetimes. Here, we adopt a novel Gd3+ doping strategy in NaYF4 host materials, realized tuning of upconversion photoluminescence (UCPL) lifetimes at selective emissions. Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC), was applied to measure the photoluminescence lifetimes accurately. We demonstrated the large dynamic range of lifetimes of upconversion nanoparticles with good upconversion quantum yields, mainly owing to the dominance of high efficient energy transfer upconversion mechanism. The exceptional tunable properties of upconversion materials allow great potential for them to be utilized in biotechnology and life sciences.

Eu3+, Tb3+- and Er3+, Yb3+-Doped α-MoO3 Nanosheets for Optical Luminescent Thermometry.

Project description:Here we report a novel synthesis approach for the preparation of α-MoO3:Ln3+ materials employing a two-step synthesis. Additionally, in this work the α-MoO3:Ln3+ materials are reported as potential optical thermometers for the first time. In this synthesis approach, first MoS2 2D nanosheets were prepared, which were further heat treated to obtain α-MoO3. These materials were fully characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and luminescence spectroscopy. Temperature-dependent luminescence measurements were carried out to determine the optical thermometric properties of two different types of α-MoO3:Ln3+ materials (Eu3+/Tb3+ downshifting and Er3+/Yb3+ upconversion luminescence systems). We demonstrate in this study that this class of material could be a potential candidate for temperature-sensing applications.
