Color tuning in lanthanide ions doped upconversion nanocrystals
Abstract
manipulations of intrinsic properties of nanocrystals as well as external experimental configurations. Benefitting from the multifunctional and versatile luminescence bands, the color-tunable upconversion nanocrystals exhibit great potential in diversities of cutting-edge applications such as display device, advanced anti-counterfeiting, optical coding, thermochromic-based thermometer, bioimaging, biosensing, and multifunctional phototherapy. The prospectives and challenges for the research in color-tunable upconversion nanocrystals are also provided. This review would be helpful in designing and building new lanthanide-based upconversion nanomaterials capable of manipulating more precisely the dominant emission bands and expand their application boundaries.
