Up-Converting Lanthanide Fluoride Core@Shell Nanorods for Luminescent Thermometry in the First and Second Biological Windows - β-NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2 Temperature Sensor
摘要： Up-converting core@shell type β-NaYF4:Yb3+-Er3+@SiO2 nanorods have been obtained by a two-step synthesis process, which encompasses hydrothermal and microemulsion routes. The synthesized nanomaterial forms stable aqueous colloids and exhibits a bright dual-center emission (λex= 975 nm), i.e. up-conversion luminescence of Er3+ and down-shifting emission of Yb3+, located in the first (I-BW) and the second (II-BW) biological windows of the spectral range. The intensity ratios of the emission bands of Er3+ and Yb3+ observed in the Vis-NIR range monotonously change with temperature, i.e. the thermalized Er3+ levels (2H11/2→4I15/2/4S3/2→4I15/2) and the non-thermally coupled Yb3+/Er3+ levels (2F5/2→2F7/2/4I9/2→4I15/2 or 4F9/2→4I15/2). Hence, their thermal evolutions have been correlated with temperature using the Boltzmann type distribution and 2-th order polynomial fits for temperature sensing purposes, i.e. Er3+ 525/545 nm (max Sr = 1.31 %K-1) and Yb3+/Er3+ 1010/810 nm (1.64 %K-1) or 1010/660 nm (0.96 %K-1). Additionally, a fresh chicken breast was used as a tissue imitation in the performed ex vivo experiment, showing the advantage of the use of NIR Yb3+/Er3+ bands, vs. the typically used Er3+ 525/545 nm band ratio, i.e. better penetration of the luminescence signal through the tissue in the I-BW and II-BW. Such nanomaterials can be utilized as accurate and effective, broad-range Vis-NIR optical, contactless sensors of temperature.

On-off-on relay fluorescence recognition of ferric and fluoride ions based on indicator displacement in living cells
摘要： A new boronic acid derivative functionalized with a 4-(3-(4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)phenyl (IOP) moiety was synthesized for use as a sequential “on-off-on”-type relay fluorescence probe for Fe3+ ions and F? ions with high selectivity and sensitivity under physiological conditions. The introduction of Fe3+ to IOP boronic acid (IOPBA) formed an Fe3+-IOPBA complex, which led to quenching of the blue fluorescence intensity at 458 nm. The lowest-energy conformation of IOPBA was theoretically predicted to adopt an extended structure, and the Fe3+ ion in the Fe3+-IOPBA complex was coordinated to two phenyl groups to form a p-complex. Upon addition of F? to the Fe3+-IOPBA complex, the original fluorescence was recovered due to formation of [FeF6]3?, resulting in “on-off-on”-type sensor behavior. IOPBA showed high selectivity towards Fe3+ among other cations. Moreover, the Fe3+-IOPBA complex showed specific selectivity towards F?, with other cations and anions not interfering with detection. Both sensing processes showed 1:1 stoichiometry with binding constants of 6.87 × 106 and 4.49 × 106 mol–1 L for Fe3+ with IOPBA and F? with Fe3+-IOPBA, respectively. The limits of detection for Fe3+ and F? were 10 and 1 nM, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied in real water samples. Furthermore, the probe had low cytotoxicity and was successfully used as a bioimaging reagent to detect intracellular Fe3+ and F? in living HeLa cells.

A novel peptide-based fluorescent chemosensor for Cd(II) ions and its applications in bioimaging
摘要： Nowadays, it is of great significance to develop a novel fluorescent chemosensor for Cd(II) ions detection with cost-effective, rapid, facile and applicable to environment and biological milieus. Herein, we report a new peptide-based fluorescent chemosensor DSC (Dan-Ser-Cys-NH2) based on dipeptide (Ser-Cys-NH2) conjugated with dansyl group, which was synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology. As designed, DSC exhibited fluorescent “turn-on” response for Cd2+ in 100% aqueous solution over a wide range of pH values based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET). The stoichiometry binding of DSC and Cd2+ was determined to be 2:1 by Job’s plot and ESI-MS analysis. Furthermore, DSC showed highly sensitive for Cd2+ and a low detection limit of 13.8 nM. What's more, DSC has cell permeability and low cytotoxicity, and fluorescence imaging experiments demonstrated that DSC was capable of monitoring Cd2+ in living HK2 cells by confocal microscopy.

A sequential and reversibility fluorescent pentapeptide probe for Cu(II) ions and hydrogen sulfide detections and its application in two different living cells imaging
摘要： In this study, we report a sequential and reversibility fluorescent probe (DP5) based on pentapeptide conjugated with dansyl groups using the solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology. DP5 showed immediate “turn off” response toward Cu2+ ions at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm with detection limits of 23.5 nM. The 2:1 binding ratio between DP5 and Cu2+ were confirmed using Job's plot method and fluorescence titration study, and DP5-Cu complex was observed with an association constant of 6.76 × 108 M?2. As designed, DP5-Cu complex as a promising analytical probe exhibited highly selective for H2S detection in aqueous solutions. The detection limit for H2S was obtained to be 17.2 nM, and lower than EPA and WHO guidelines. In addition, the reversibility and cyclicity were imparted to the DP5 during the detection of Cu2+ and H2S, and cycle effect is very good. Furthermore, DP5 displayed better biocompatibility and low biotoxicity, and sequential fluorescence “on-off-on” responses of DP5 to Cu2+ and H2S were successfully applied in two different living cells.

Photo-Sensitive Pb5S2I6 Crystal Incorporated Polydopamine Biointerface Coated on Nanoporous TiO2 as an Efficient Signal-on Photoelectrochemical Bioassay for Ultrasensitive Detection of Cr(VI) ions
摘要： An ultrasensitive Visible light-triggered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was designed based on ideal photoactive lead sulfoiodide (Pb5S2I6) as low band gap crystal, which hydrothermally synthesized rapidly at low temperature (160°C) in hydrochloride acid media followed by its incorporation into polydopamine as reactive photo-biointerface, through a facile in situ electropolymerization method, coated on nanoporous TiO2 grown by anodization on Ti foil. The structure of as-prepared samples and their photoelectrochemical properties were fully characterized. This unique photo-sensitive Pb5S2I6 catalyst-based PEC bioassay was constructed for the detection of low-abundant Cr(VI) ion in real samples. Applying central composite design, individual and mutual interaction effects were evaluated to obtain optimized solution pH, applied potential and radiant light wavelength as operational factors influencing the PEC efficiency for Cr(VI) detection. At optimal condition, the proposed sensor due to effective suppress in electron–hole recombinations showed a very low detection limit of 3.0 nM, over a broad linear concentration range of 0.01 μM-80 μM in addition to high sensitivity versus 1.9 μA/μM Cr(VI). Proposed PEC sensor displayed high selectivity, reproducibility and stability as well as improved excitation conversion efficiency, which make it highly applicable using solar energy. The potential applicability of the designed sensor was evaluated in water, tomato juice and hair color.

Near-Infrared-Laser-Driven Robust Glass-Ceramic-Based Upconverted Solid-State-Lighting
摘要： Laser lighting, generally consisting of blue laser and downconversion phosphors, is considered to be the next promising illumination to replace traditional LED lighting. However, the irradiation of high-power blue laser will inevitably cause significant thermal attack, which puts forward high demand on phosphor converters as well as device architecture. In this work, a proof-of-concept prototype of near-infrared laser-driven upconversion solid-state-lighting is proposed. Robust lanthanide doped α/β-NaYF4 embedded glass ceramics are developed as upconverted color converters and routine 980 nm laser is used as pumping source for its relatively low thermal effect and a perfect resonance with Yb3+ sensitizers. Stable and bright upconversion white light is indeed produced by coupling Yb/Tm/Er doped α-NaYF4 glass ceramic with 980 nm laser but the luminous efficiency and energy efficiency are only 0.3 lm/W and 0.12%, respectively, owing to low Er doping concentration. As an alternative, a stacking structure of Yb/Tm doped glass ceramics and Yb/Er doped one is designed as color converter to improve luminous efficiency up to 1.0 lm/W and energy efficiency of 0.5% under a laser power density of 275 W/cm2. It is believed that this research will provide a new idea for laser lighting and open the application field of glass ceramics.

White light emission from a mixture of silicon quantum dots and gold nanoclusters and its utilities in sensing of mercury( <scp>ii</scp> ) ions and thiol containing amino acid
摘要： White light emitting mixture (WLEM) was produced by controlled mixing of blue emitting silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) and orange red emitting gold nanoclusters (Au NCs). The chromaticity color co-ordinate of the WLEM studied using CIE (Commission Internationale del'Eclairage) diagram was found to be (0.33, 0.32), which was very close to that of perfect white light emitting source. The WLEM can also be achieved in the form of gel, solid and film with nearly the same CIE co-ordinates which enhances its utility as white light-emitting source in solid state devices. The reversible and thermo-responsive behaviour of the WLEM broadens its application in thermal sensing. Furthermore, the system was found to be showing fast, sensitive and selective detection of Hg2+ ions and thiol containing amino acid cysteine.

Graphene quantum dots and carbon nano dots for the FRET based detection of heavy metal ions
摘要： We demonstrate the development of a FRET based novel optical sensing system for the efficient detection of heavy metal pollutants. The studied sensing system is comprised of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as donor and carbon nano dots (C-Dots) as an acceptor component. When these fluorescent nano-dots are within the FRET distance, fluorescence of the donor GQDs is quenched by the non-radiative energy transfer to acceptor C-Dots. Fluorescence lifetime is measured by time resolved photo-luminescence spectroscopic study to validate the FRET efficacy of the mix dot based sensor system. Upon gradual addition of heavy metals like arsenic (As5+) and mercury (Hg2+) into this sensor system, a significant amount of reduction in the investigated FRET signal is experienced. The detailed mechanisms of the molecular interactions between GQDs and C-Dots are thoroughly studied by UV–Visible absorption, infrared, steady state and time resolved spectroscopy.

Highly selective detection of Fe3+, Cd2+ and CH2Cl2 based on a fluorescent Zn-MOF with azine-decorated pores
摘要： The design and synthesis of sensitive and selective luminescent materials as chemical sensing agents is a fundamental goal in fluorescence assays. Considering high porosity, large surface area, excellent photoluminescence property of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), luminescent properties of a microporous azine-functionalized MOF, TMU-16, dispersed in different metal ions and solvents have been investigated systematically. The TMU-16 displays superb luminescence emission, and it can detect Fe(III) and Cd(II) ions with high selectivity, excellent sensitivity, and short response time (<1 min). The emission intensities of TMU-16 were quenched upon the addition of Fe3+ and increased upon the addition of Cd2+. The detection limits of TMU-16 for Fe3+/Cd2+ in DMF are estimated to be 0.2 and 0.5 μM, respectively. The effect of other metal ions on the fluorescence intensity of the MOF was also studied and other metal ions showed low interference response in recognition of Fe3+ and Cd2+. Furthermore, TMU-16 exhibits distinct solvent-dependent luminescent spectra with emission intensity significantly enhanced toward dichloromethane. More importantly, this is the first example of MOF-based luminescent sensor as efficient multifunctional fluorescence material which can use for selective sensing of Fe(III) and Cd(II) ions and small molecules such as CH2Cl2.

Yb/Er/Tm tri-doped Na3ZrF7 upconversion nanocrystals for high performance temperature sensing
摘要： Non-contact optical thermometry based on fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique has been widely researched over the past few decades. However, the reported systems exhibit two important shortcomings including the existence of a few interferential signals in addition to the required spectral bands for FIR and the absence of internal standard for reference signal. Herein, only two emission bands of Er3+: 4F9/2→4I15/2 (~673 nm) and Tm3+: 3H4 → 3H6 (~800 nm) are achieved in Yb/Er/Tm tri-doped Na3ZrF7 nano-system. Moreover, the upconversion (UC) emission intensity of Er3+ keeps unchanged with the rising of temperature, which is applied as reference signal; while that of Tm3+ enhances evidently, which is applied as temperature signal. The calculated maximum absolute temperature sensitivity (Sa) and relative temperature sensitivity (Sr) are 0.17 K-1 at 393 K and 1.76 %K-1 at 313 K, respectively.
