Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of luminescent materials, and in particular relates to an up-conversion nanomaterial with red light emission and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Upconversion luminescent materials are a class of luminescent materials that follow the Anti-Stokes process. These materials absorb long-wavelength light through multiphoton absorption and transfer energy to shorter-wavelength light, thereby achieving upconversion luminescence. Compared with traditional fluorescent materials, rare earth upconversion luminescent materials have excellent properties such as large anti-Stokes shift, low biotoxicity, narrow emission spectrum, long luminescence lifetime, and high luminescence intensity. Therefore, they have broad application prospects in anti-counterfeiting, solar cells, display devices, solid-state lasers, biomedical fields, and especially bioimaging. Compared with short-wavelength green and blue light, long-wavelength red light has deeper penetration into biological tissues and is therefore known as the "visible light biological window." Therefore, obtaining upconversion luminescent materials with red light emission is of great significance for biological applications.

[0003] In recent years, Er-based upconversion nanomaterials have become one of the research hotspots in the field of luminescent materials due to their high luminescence efficiency, good photostability, and high biocompatibility. Compared with other Er-based upconversion materials, LiErF4-based upconversion luminescent materials have better crystallization properties due to their spinel structure, and the luminescence peak of LiErF4 in the visible light region is narrower and sharper, which makes it have higher luminescence efficiency and longer life. However, due to the problems such as energy loss in the upconversion process, the luminescence intensity decreases, especially when Yb is present in the system. 3+ When the spontaneous radiation energy is lost.

[0004] Therefore, the development of a LiErF4-based upconversion nanomaterial with red light emission is of great significance for the application of bioluminescence imaging. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In the present invention, x can be any one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, or an intermediate value between any two thereof; preferably, x is any one of 0, 2, 5, 8, 10, and 15.
