Coating a heterogeneous layer outside the core nanoparticles has become a common method to protect the properties of nanoparticles and may extend the application range of core nanoparticles. Rare earth ion-doped nanoparticles NaYF4:Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ is one of the most efficient up-conversion nanosystems. In this work, a multi-functional NaYF4:Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @TiO2 core-shell structure nanocomposite was synthesized. The structure, optical and photoluminescence properties of the up-converting nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and room temperature up-conversion luminescence (UCL) spectrofluorimetric measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
