Efficient near-infrared photocatalysts based on NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4:Yb3+,Nd3+@TiO2 core@shell nanoparticles
摘要： In this work, we fabricated NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4:Yb3+,Nd3+@TiO2 (Tm@Nd@TiO2) core@shell nanoparticles and investigated their near-infrared (NIR) photocatalytic activities. Comparing to traditional TiO2 based upconversion (UC) photocatalysts (i.e., NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@TiO2, named Tm@TiO2), Tm@Nd@TiO2 exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity under NIR light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO2 under 980, 808, and 980+808 nm laser irradiation is 4.40, 5.84, and 9.83 times as high as that of Tm@TiO2 under only 980 nm irradiation, respectively. The ethylene degradation rate of Tm@Nd@TiO2 under 980+808 nm laser irradiation is 6.4 times as that of Tm@TiO2. The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO2 under visible+NIR irradiation is even comparable with (~2/3) that under UV light irradiation during Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO2 can be attributed to the stronger light absorption in NIR region ascribed to Nd3+, lower water absorption and the enhanced UC emission of Tm@Nd with unique core@shell nanostructures. This work can provide a possible route to improve the NIR photocatalytic activity and stimulate the applications in many other fields.

Local Overheating of Biotissue Labeled With Upconversion Nanoparticles Under Yb3+ Resonance Excitation
摘要： Local overheating of biotissue is a critical step for biomedical applications, such as photothermal therapy, enhancement of vascular permeability, remote control of drug release, and so on. Overheating of biological tissue when exposed to light is usually realized by utilizing the materials with a high-absorption cross section (gold, silica, carbon nanoparticles, etc.). Here, we demonstrate core/shell NaYF4:Yb3+, Tm3+/NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) commonly used for bioimaging as promising near-infrared (NIR) absorbers for local overheating of biotissue. We assume that achievable temperature of tissue labeled with nanoparticles is high enough because of Yb3+ resonance absorption of NIR radiation, whereas the use of auxiliary light-absorbing materials or shells is optional for photothermal therapy. For this purpose, a computational model of tissue heating based on the energy balance equations was developed and verified with the experimentally obtained thermal-graphic maps of a mouse in response to the 975-nm laser irradiation. Labeling of biotissue with UCNPs was found to increase the local temperature up to 2?C compared to that of the non-labeled area under the laser intensity lower than 1 W/cm2. The cellular response to the UCNP-initiated hyperthermia at subcritical ablation temperatures (lower than 42?C) was demonstrated by measuring the heat shock protein overexpression. This indicates that the absorption cross section of Yb3+ in UCNPs is relatively large, and microscopic temperature of nanoparticles exceeds the integral tissue temperature. In summary, a new approach based on the use of UCNP without any additional NIR absorbers was used to demonstrate a simple approach in the development of photoluminescent probes for simultaneous bioimaging and local hyperthermia.

Direct Z-scheme photocatalytic removal of ammonia via the narrow band gap MoS2/N-doped graphene hybrid catalyst upon near-infrared irradiation
摘要： Near-infrared (NIR) irradiation accounts for approximately 54.3% of the solar spectrum. Therefore, MoS2 and N-doped graphene (NG) were utilised to fabricate a direct Z-scheme NIR-response photocatalytic system (MoS2/NG). The photocatalytic tests showed that MoS2/NG Z-scheme photocatalytic system can result in a 99.6% degradation ratio of ammonia under NIR irradiation, whereas the removal ratio of ammonia was only 64.0% using MoS2 as the photocatalyst under similar conditions. The catalytic e?ciency is still over 90.7% even if the MoS2/NG catalyst was used for ?ve runs, indicating that it is extremely stable. The kinetic research indicated the ?1. The average apparent rate constant kapp for ammonia degradation into N2 was at approximately 0.251 h enhanced photocatalytic activity of MoS2/NG was attributed to the more positive valence band level of the Z-scheme system.
