In this review, we focus on the summary of catalytic reaction driven by surface plasmons and
plexciton, where the plexciton is the interaction between plasmon and exciton. We first …

Upconversion (UC) lanthanide nanomaterials have attracted enormous attention in the last
two decades thanks to their unique ability to convert low-energy infrared photons into high …

Titanium implants are widely used; however, implantation occasionally fails due to infections
during the surgery or poor osseointegration after the surgery. To solve the problem, an …

The unique properties of upconverting nanoparticles are responsible for their various
applications in photonic materials, medicine, analytics, or energy conversion. In this work …

Up-converting nanoparticles can be a demand for requirements in many areas, including
bioimaging and conversion of energy, but also in the battle against counterfeiting. The …

Realizing multicolor emissions of upconversion (UC) luminescence materials is of significant

A novel multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform was fabricated via in situ growth of
ultrasmall Ag 2 Se nanodots on the surface of chitosan (CS) coated NaYF 4: Yb/Er@ NaLuF …

Short-wave infrared (SWIR; 850–1700 nm) upconversion fluorescence enables
“autofluorescence-free” imaging with minimal tissue scattering, yet it is rarely explored due …

This study reports on a single-band red upconversion emission of Er 3+ in a pure-phase β-
Ba 2 ScAlO 5: Yb 3+/Er 3+ fluorescent powder by doping Cu 2+. The optimum concentration …

The dimensioning of glutathione-coated gold nanoparticles (GSH-Au NPs) greatly enhanced
the luminescence intensity of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) in close proximity and …
