摘要

Abstract

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with hollow structures exhibit many fascinating optical properties due to their special morphology. However

there are few reports on the exploration of hollow UCNPs and their optical applications

mainly because of the difficulty in constructing hollow structures by conventional methods. Here

we report a one-step template-free method to synthesize NaBiF

: Yb

Er (NBFYE) hollow UCNPs

via

Ostwald ripening under solvothermal conditions. Moreover

we also elucidate the possible formation mechanism of hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) by studying the growth process of nanoparticles in detail. By changing the contents of polyacrylic acid and H

O in the reaction system

the central cavity size of NBFYE nanoparticles can be adjusted. Benefiting from the structural characteristics of large internal surface area and high surface permeability

NBFYE HNPs exhibit excellent luminescence properties under 980 nm near-infrared irradiation. Importantly

NBFYE hollow UCNPs can act as self-referenced ratiometric luminescent thermometers under 980 nm laser irradiation

which are effective over a wide temperature range from 223 K to 548 K and have a maximum sensitivity value of 0.0065 K

−1

at 514 K. Our work clearly demonstrates a novel method for synthesizing HNPs and develops their applications

which provides a new idea for constructing hollow structure UCNPs and will also encourage researchers to further explore the optical applications of hollow UCNPs.
