Simultaneous phase and size control of upconversion nanocrystals through lanthanide doping

TL;DR: The results suggest that the doping-induced structural and size transition, demonstrated here in NaYF4 upconversion nanocrystals, could be extended to other lanthanide-doped nanocrystal systems for applications ranging from luminescent biological labels to volumetric three-dimensional displays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in the chemistry of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals

TL;DR: This tutorial review focuses on the recent development of various synthetic approaches and possibilities for chemical tuning of upconversion properties, as well as giving an overview of biological applications of these luminescent nanocrystals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning upconversion through energy migration in core–shell nanoparticles

TL;DR: By rational design of a core-shell structure with a set of lanthanide ions incorporated into separated layers at precisely defined concentrations, efficient upconversion emission can be realized through gadolinium sublattice-mediated energy migration for a wide range of Lanthanide activators without long-lived intermediary energy states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing solar cell efficiency: the search for luminescent materials as spectral converters

TL;DR: This review will survey recent progress in the development of spectral converters, with a particular emphasis on lanthanide-based upconversion, quantum-cutting and down-shifting materials, for PV applications, and present technical challenges that arise in developing cost-effective high-performance solar cells based on these luminescent materials.
