Article Abstract
Despite advances of lanthanide-doped upconversion (UC) materials, the applications such as light-emitting diode and biological imaging are limited by low quantum efficiency. For this context, the understanding of unique interactions between the doped-lanthanides and the host crystals has attracted a huge amount of the researcher's interest. In particular, it was revealed that doping lanthanide ions in a non-centrosymmetric site of host lattice is the cause of relaxation of the Laporte selection rule in the 4f-4f transition of lanthanide ions. One of the layered perovskites CsBiNbO is known to have non-centrosymmetric sites, which would lead to highly bright UC emission. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, there has been no research on the UC comparison between host materials of CsBiNbO with other hosts. In this article, we present the UC intensity comparison of Yb-Er ion doped CsBiNbO, NaYF, BaTiO, and SrTiO hosts (the UC in CsBiNbO:Er,Yb was 2.4 times that of NaYF:Er,Yb and ∼70 times that of SrTiO:Er,Yb). After that, we dig into UC, downshifting, and double beam system UC properties. The activator concentration was optimized by varying the doping ratio of Yb and Er, and we found out the main reason for the concentration quenching behavior in Er ion doped CsBiNbO is dipole-dipole interaction. In addition, the double excitation experiment indicates that the absorption (I → I) factor is stronger than the stimulated emission (I → I) factor in CsBiNbO under 1540 nm laser irradiation.

We report the hydrothermal syntheses and structural and spectroscopic characterization of two new uranium oxide hydrate frameworks (UOHFs) with either Pr or Nd ions, Pr(HO)[(UO)UO(OH)] () or Nd(HO)[(UO)UO(OH)] (). Both UOHFs crystallize in the orthorhombic 222 space group and display needle crystal morphologies. Their crystal structures are composed of β-UO-type layers connected by double uranium polyhedra to form the frameworks, with disordered Pr/Nd ions within the framework channels, as revealed by synchrotron single-crystal XRD.

Rare-earth ions (REIs), especially trivalent lanthanides (Ln ), are central to photonic technologies due to sharp intra-4f transitions, long lifetimes, and host-insensitive emission. However, modeling REIs remains challenging due to localized 4f orbitals, strong electron correlation, and multiplet structures. This review summarizes atomistic modeling strategies combining quantum chemistry and machine learning (ML).

The versatility of lanthanide-doped near-infrared (NIR, 700-1,700 nm) luminescent nanoparticles makes them valuable tools in various scientific and technological fields, from bioimaging to information security. However, the luminescence intensity of typical lanthanide-doped nanoparticles is significantly influenced by the efficiency of the sensitizer. The introduction of transition metal ions (such as Cr, Mn and Ni) can greatly enrich the library of lanthanide NIR luminescence nanoparticles.

Image-guided surgery plays a critical role in improving the cancer patient prognosis. However, current clinical probes are often single-modal with "always-on" signals, failing to provide complementary and precise guidance across all perioperative phases. To tackle this hurdle, we develop a biomarker-activatable, multimodal nanoprobe - - based on redox-mediated manganese valence switching for tumor-specific, perioperative image-guided surgery.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a persistent organic pollutant with a global presence in water, air, and soil resources. Herein, a water-stable amine-functionalized lanthanide metal-organic framework () is utilized for ratiometric luminescence detection of PFOA. In the presence of PFOA, there is an increase in the emission intensity of the organic ligand, while the characteristic luminescence intensity of Eu ions decreases, accompanied by a distinct emission color change from red to blue.
