The invention discloses a preparation method and application of an up-conversion
nanorod. The preparation method comprises the following specific steps: 1) synthesizing the up-conversion
nanorod by utilizing a hydrothermal method; 2) respectively preparing water solutions of
ytterbium chloride,
yttrium chloride and
thulium chloride; 3) weighing 8 mL of a
sodium hydroxide solution, adding the
sodium hydroxide solution into a 250-mL round-bottom flask, adding 25 mL of absolute ethyl
alcohol and isometric
oleic acid while stirring, and conducting stirring for 10 min to clarify the mixed solutionfrom
turbidity; 4) dropwise adding a
chlorate solution containing 20 mmol of
rare earth elements, and conducting stirring; (5) measuring 5 mL of an
ammonium fluoride solution, dropwise and slowly adding the
ammonium fluoride solution into the round-bottom flask, and continuing to conduct stirring for 30 minutes until the solution becomes uniform liquid; and (6) transferring the prepared
mixed solution into two 50-mL hydrothermal kettles, putting the hydrothermal kettles into a 180 DEG C
drying oven for a reaction, conducting cooling to
room temperature, carrying out centrifugal treatment, sequentially conducting repeated washing with
ethanol and pure water multiple times, and removing a
solvent to obtain a pure up-conversion
crystal material.
