Organolead halide perovskites (OHPs) have shown unprecedented potentials in optoelectronics. However, the inherent large bandgap has restrained its working wavelength within 280–800 nm, while light at other regions, e.g., near‐infrared (NIR), may cause drastic thermal heating effect that goes against the duration of OHP devices, if not properly exploited. Herein, a solution processable and large‐scale synthesis of multifunctional OHP composites containing lanthanide‐doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is reported. Upon NIR illumination, the upconverted photons from UCNPs at 520–550 nm can be efficiently absorbed by closely surrounded OHP nanowires (NWs) and photocurrent is subsequently generated. The narrow full width at half maximum of the absorption of rare earth ions (Yb3+and Er3+) has ensured high‐selective NIR response. Lifetime characterizations have suggested that Förster resonance energy transfer with an efficiency of 28.5% should be responsible for the direct energy transfer from UCNPs to OHP NWs. The fabricated proof‐of‐concept device has showcased perfect response to NIR light at 980 and 1532 nm, which has paved new avenues for applications of such composites in remote control, distance measurement, and stealth materials.

Abstract x Lnx F2+x ,MLnF) with a CaF2shell. We synthesize 8 alkaline‐earth host materials doped with Yb3+and Tm3+, with alkaline‐earth (M) spanning Ca, Sr, and Ba, MgSr, CaSr, CaBa, SrBa, and CaSrBa. We explore UCNP composition, size, and lanthanide doping‐dependent emission, focusing on upconversion quantum yield (UCQY) and UV emission. UCQY values of 2.46 % at 250 W cm−2are achieved with 14.5 nm SrLuF@CaF2particles, with 7.3 % of total emission in the UV. In 10.9 nm SrYbF:1 %Tm3+@CaF2particles, UV emission increased to 9.9 % with UCQY at 1.14 %. We demonstrate dye degradation under NIR illumination using SrYbF:1 %Tm3+@CaF2, highlighting the efficiency of these UCNPs and their ability to trigger photoprocesses. -

Abstract Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)‐based devices have been extensively researched as potential biosensors due to their highly localized responsivity. In particular, dye‐conjugated upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are among the most promising FRET‐based sensor candidates. UCNPs have a multi‐modal emission profile that allows for ratiometric sensing, and by conjugating a biosensitive dye to their surface, this profile can be used to measure localized variations in biological parameters. However, the complex nature of the UCNP energy profile as well as reabsorption of emitted photons must be taken into account in order to properly sense the target parameters. To the authors’ knowledge, no proposed UCNP‐based sensor has accurately taken care of these intricacies. In this article, the authors account for these complexities by creating a FRET‐based sensor that measures pH. This sensor utilizes Thulium (Tm3+)‐doped UCNPs and the fluorescent dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). It is first demonstrated that photon reabsorption is a serious issue for the 475 nm Tm3+emission, thereby limiting its use in FRET‐based sensing. It is then shown that by taking the ratio of the 646 and 800 nm emissions rather than the more popular 475 nm one, it is possible to measure pH exclusively through FRET.

Abstract Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) convert low‐energy infrared (IR) or near‐infrared (NIR) photons into high‐energy emission radiation ranging from ultraviolet to visible through a photon upconversion process. In comparison to conventional fluorophores, such as organic dyes or semiconductor quantum dots, lanthanide‐ion‐doped UCNPs exhibit high photostability, no photoblinking, no photobleaching, low cytotoxicity, sharp emission lines, and long luminescent lifetimes. Additionally, the use of IR or NIR for excitation in such UCNPs reduces the autofluorescence background and enables deeper penetration into biological samples due to reduced light scattering with negligible damage to the samples. Because of these attributes, UCNPs have found numerous potential applications in biological and medicinal fields as novel fluorescent materials. Different upconversion mechanisms commonly observed in UCNPs, various methods that are used in their synthesis, and surface modification processes are discussed. Recent applications of Ln‐UCNPs in the biological and medicinal fields, including in vivo and in vitro biological imaging, multimodal imaging, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, and antibacterial activity, are also presented.

Abstract Nondestructive neurotransmitter detection and real‐time monitoring of stem cell differentiation are both of great significance in the field of neurodegenerative disease and regenerative medicine. Although luminescent biosensing nanoprobes have been developed to address this need, they have intrinsic limitations such as autofluorescence, scattering, and phototoxicity. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have gained increasing attention for various biomedical applications due to their high photostability, low auto‐fluorescent background, and deep tissue penetration; however, UCNPs also suffer from low emission intensities due to undesirable energy migration pathways. To address the aforementioned issue, a single‐crystal core–shell–shell “sandwich” structured UCNP is developed that is designed to minimize deleterious energy back‐transfer to yield bright visible emissions using low power density excitations. These UCNPs show a remarkable enhancement of luminescent output relative to conventional β‐NaYF4:Yb,Er codoped UCNPs and β‐NaYF4:Yb,Er@NaYF4:Yb “active shell” alike. Moreover, this advanced core–shell–shell UCNP is subsequently used to develop a highly sensitive biosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of dopamine released from stem cell‐derived dopaminergic‐neurons. Given the challenges of in situ detection of neurotransmitters, the developed NIR‐based biosensing of neurotransmitters in stem cell‐derived neural interfaces present a unique tool for investigating single‐cell mechanisms associated with dopamine, or other neurotransmitters, and their roles in neurological processes.
