Abstract

Rare-earth-doped upconversion nanophosphors possess a unique ability to convert long-wavelength near-infrared excitations to shorter wavelength emissions under moderate excitation intensities (1-103 W cm-2), thus opening up vast opportunities for creating novel biological labels and three-dimensional (3D) display systems. This chapter reports most recent work in upconversion nanophosphor research, which includes developments of various synthetic approaches and chemical tuning of upconversion properties, as well as technological applications of these luminescent nanomaterials. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
