A crystal design strategy is described that generates hexagonal-phased NaYF4 :Nd/Yb@NaYF4 :Yb/Tm luminescent nanocrystals with the ability to emit light at 803 nm when illuminated at 745 nm. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the large absorption cross-section of Nd(3+) between
Recently, various second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorophores have been synthesized for in vivo imaging with nonradiation, high resolution, and low autofluorescence. However, most of the NIR-II fluorophores, especially inorganic nanoprobes, are mainly retained in the reticuloendothelial system (RES)
The efficacy of dynamic therapy for solid tumors suffers daunting challenges induced by tumor hypoxia. Herein, we report a biocompatible nanosystem containing Fe(OH)3-modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for promoting synergetic chemo- and photodynamic therapy with the modulation of tumor hypoxia. In
We describe here an Nd3+-sensitized upconversion fluorescent sensor for epirubicin (EPI) detection in aqueous solutions under 808 nm laser excitation. The upconversion fluorescence of nanoparticles is effectively quenched in the presence of EPI via a fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism.
