摘要

Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals are an emerging class of near-IR-sensitive luminescent nanomaterials that have aroused widespread interest in the investigation of their unique optical properties for sensing, biomedical, and energy applications. In this work, we have hydrothermally prepared NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanocrystals that can respond with brilliant photoluminescence to near-infrared laser light. The structural phase of the NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanocrystals can be controlled by extending the hydrothermal reaction to visibly tune their emission intensity. The highly photoluminescent NaYF4:Yb,Er colloidal nanocrystals are subsequently assembled in host matrices of hard substrates and polymethyl methacrylate plastics by colloidal solution solidification to fabricate optical display components that may be useful as a potential alternative for fingerprint identification and encryption.
