研究目的
To develop a hybrid system combining upconverting nanoparticles and lanthanide complexes for enhanced light harvesting under multiple excitation wavelengths, specifically UV-blue and near-infrared, and to study the energy transfer mechanisms between them.
研究成果
The hybrid system successfully demonstrated enhanced light harvesting under UV and NIR excitation via radiative energy transfer from UCNPs to lanthanide complexes. The straightforward preparation method and homogeneous optical response make it promising for optoelectronic applications, such as photoactivated devices and color tuning, with potential for further optimization and expansion to other material combinations.
研究不足
The study used specific UCNP and complex compositions; optimization for other lanthanides or nanoparticles was not fully explored. The ET mechanism is primarily radiative, with potential non-radiative contributions not fully excluded. Film morphology and optical homogeneity could vary with preparation conditions, and the use of gold coating for SEM limited direct UCNP observation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved preparing hybrid films via drop-casting a mixture of UCNPs and lanthanide complexes in chloroform. Optical properties were investigated using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and electron microscopy to understand energy transfer mechanisms.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included NaGdF4:20% Yb3+,0.5% Tm3+ UCNPs synthesized via microwave-assisted thermal decomposition and dinuclear lanthanide complexes [Tb2] and [Eu2] synthesized from tfaa and bpm ligands. Hybrid systems were prepared with varying UCNPs-to-complex ratios and concentrations.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Chemicals included gadolinium oxide, ytterbium oxide, thulium oxide, sodium trifluoroacetate, oleic acid, oleylamine, tfaa, bpm, TbCl3·6H2O, EuCl3·6H2O, chloroform, etc. Equipment included X-ray powder diffractometer (Rigaku Ultima IV), TEM (FEI Tecnai Spirit), SEM (JEOL JSM-7500F FESEM), spectrofluorimeter (Varian Cary Eclipse), hyperspectral microscope (IMA Upconversion by PhotonEtc), monochromators (Andor Shamrock 500i), laser diodes (CNI Optoelectronics Tech), and others.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
UCNPs were synthesized, complexes were prepared, and hybrid films were formed by drop-casting mixed solutions on glass slides. Characterization involved XRD, TEM, SEM, optical spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and lifetime measurements under 980 nm excitation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using hyperspectral imager's PHySpecV2 software and OriginPro, with emission spectra, power-dependent studies, decay curves, and hyperspectral maps to quantify energy transfer and spatial distribution.
