Phase-pure (La<sub>0.97</sub>RE<sub>0.01</sub>Yb<sub>0.02</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S upconversion (UC) nanophosphors (average crystallite size ~ 45 nm; RE=Ho, Er) were annealed from their hydrothermally crystallized layered hydroxyl sulfate precursors in flowing hydrogen at 1200 °C for 1 h, with water vapor as the only exhaust. Under 978-nm laser excitation (up to 2.0 W), the Ho<sup>3+</sup>-doped phosphor exhibited green (medium), red (weak), and near-infrared (strong) emissions at ~ 546 ...[more]
