The invention relates to a method for preparing a rare-earth doped potassium yttrium fluoride up-conversion luminescence nano material. The method comprises the following steps: 1) weighing yttrium oxide, sylvite and a fluorine source, adding in an oleic acid/oleylamine-containing solvent system, stirring and mixing, thus obtaining a first uniform solution; 2) weighing ytterbium fluoride and a rare-earth activator, adding in the oleic acid/oleylamine-containing solvent system, stirring and mixing, thus obtaining a second uniform solution; 3) rapidly heating the first uniform solution to a high temperature, and meanwhile rapidly filling the second uniform solution, and sufficiently stirring to react, thus obtaining a third uniform solution; and 4) cooling the obtained solution to room temperature, performing centrifugal separation, washing, and drying, thus obtaining the rare-earth doped potassium yttrium fluoride up-conversion luminescence nano material. The method has the beneficial effects that the preparation period of the material is effectively shortened, new ideas and ways are provided for preparing the up-conversion luminescence nano material, large-scale popularization and application are facilitated, and the purposes of controllable the monodisperse particle size, high quantum yield and the like are solved.
