摘要

Yb/Er: BiOX (X - Cl, Br) nanoplatelets were prepared via a template-free route simply by introducing water into ethylene glycol solution containing reactants at room temperature. Post-sintering on the product was found to have no obvious influence on the size and morphology but greatly enhance Er3+ upconversion luminescence probably owing to the improvement in crystallinity of nanoplatelets. Impressively, benefited from the confined energy interactions between Yb3+ and Er3+ dopants within [X-Bi-O-Bi-X] layer in BiOX host, the investigated Yb/Er: BiOX (X - Cl, Br) nanoplatelets exhibited intense intrinsic near-single-band red upconversion emission under 980 nm or 1530 nm laser excitation.
