    Abstract
  • Lanthanide-ion-doped upconversion luminescence is limited by the small absorption cross-section and narrow absorption band of lanthanide ions, which results in weak luminescence. Recently, a dye-sensitized method has proven to be an effective strategy of increasing upconversion luminescence. However, simply attaching dye molecules to nanoparticles with classic Yb-doped nanostructures cannot effectively activate the sensitizing ability of the dye molecules. In response to this problem, we designed Nd-sensitized core/shell/shell (NaYF4:Yb/Er (20/2%)@ NaYF4:Yb (10 %)@ NaYF4:Nd (80 %)) nanostructures, compared with the classic IR-806 sensitized NaYF4:Yb/Er nanostructure, their upconversion luminescence (500 to 700 nm) was approximately enhanced by a factor of 38. Through analysis of the nanostructure’s emission and luminescence lifetime data, the enhancement was confirmed by the effective overlap of Nd absorption with the emission of near-infrared dye molecules and the protective effects of the shell structure on the luminescent center (the lifetime of Er (4S3/2→4I15/2) was increased by 1.7 times). In addition, we found that the doping Yb3+ in the outermost layer will decrease the dye-sensitized luminescence intensity. Furthermore, this Nd-sensitized core/shell/shell structure also achieved enhancement in the sensitized upconversion luminescence of the luminescence centers of Ho and Tm, which establishes a foundation for enhanced dye-sensitized upconversion luminescence.
