Abstract:The optical characteristics and varied applications of lanthanide-doped NaYF4 upconversion nanocrystals have received considerable interest in recent years, such as in ratiometric thermometry. This review thoroughly examines the various synthesis processes utilized in producing these nanocrystals and their application in temperature sensing. Synthesis of NaYF4 upconversion nanocrystals is a complex procedure that requires careful management of dopant concentrations, crystal phase, size, and shape. The distinct… Show more
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.
