Core-shell- Nd3+ - doped upconversion nanoparticles with enhanced luminescence properties for bioanalytical applications

  • Upconversion nanoparticles are characterized by their ability to convert low energy near-infrared excitation in high energy emissions in the visible range. This is enabled by sequential absorption of two or more photons via energy transfer from the sensitizer lanthanide ion Yb3+ to an activator lanthanide ion, e.g. Er3+. Yb3+ sensitation has the advantage of 980 nm excitation achieved by commercial available low power cw laser modules. Nevertheless, for some applications, especially in aqueous media, which is predominantely in bioanalytical applications, there is the drawback of a local Absorption maximum of water at this wavelength. Sample heating can occur, and excitation power density is strongly distance dependent. To overcome this issue, the idea is to shift the excitation wavelength to 808 nm. This can be achieved by a tandem-excitation using Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions. Nd3+ gets excited by 808 nm irradiation and transfers the energy to Yb3+, which triggers the upconversion emission ofUpconversion nanoparticles are characterized by their ability to convert low energy near-infrared excitation in high energy emissions in the visible range.

Nd3+ gets excited by 808 nm irradiation and transfers the energy to Yb3+, which triggers the upconversion emission of the Er3+ ions. Therefore, it is mandatory to separate Nd3+ and Er3+ by core-shell architecture for reducing the energy backtransfer from Er3+ to Nd3+. To further enhance the upconversion luminescence an additional inert shell formed by the host material NaYF4 reduces the quenching effects caused by surface defects and dangling bonds.zeige mehrzeige weniger
