Problems solved by technology

Recently, Li Fuyou's research group coated the upconversion material with a carbonized coating of glucose (Nat.Commun.7:10437). The coating needs to remove the oleic acid ligands on the surface. The operation process is cumbersome, and the thickness of the coated carbonized layer is not easy. Control, too thick carbon layer can easily cause fluorescence quenching of core upconversion materials

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for cladding UCNPs (upconversion nanoparticles) through low-temperature cyclodextrin carbonization. The method comprises steps as follows: firstly, aqueous dispersionis prepared from a cyclodextrin cladded oil-soluble upconversion nanomaterial; the dispersion is added to a polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle and subjected to a low-temperature hydrothermal reaction, and the UCNPs cladded with a thin cyclodextrin carbon layer are prepared. According to the method, the hydrophobic upconversion nanomaterial is successfully converted into a hydrophilic upconversion nanomaterial, and by means of the prepared cyclodextrin carbon cladding layer, biotoxicity is effectively reduced, and biocompatibility is improved; besides, the nanoparticles can be prevented from agglomeration, stability is improved, the preparation technology is simple, and further modification and application are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nano fluorescent materials, and in particular relates to a method for carbonizing and coating upconversion nanoparticles with low-temperature cyclodextrin. Background technique [0002] Rare earth upconversion nanomaterials (upconversion nanoparticles UCNPs) refer to materials that can absorb long-wave radiation with low photon energy and emit short-wave radiation with high photon energy based on a two-photon or multi-photon mechanism when excited by light. Due to its unique optical and magnetic properties, it has attracted widespread attention in the fields of near-infrared lasers, solar cells, phosphors, biosensing analysis, and medical imaging. Up to now, the synthesis methods of upconversion nanomaterials mainly include thermal decomposition method, liquid solid solution (LSS) strategy and oleic acid route method. Most of the synthesized upconversion nanomaterials have hydrophobic oleic acid ligands ...
