چکیده

Nature Materials 14, 924–930 (2015); published online 3 August 2015; retracted after print 24 November 2016. We wish to retract this Article due to concerns with some data related to upconversion in the solid-state samples presented in Fig. 4d,e, and to the reproducibility check of the triplet diffusion constant provided in the Supplementary Information. In this Article, we reported fast triplet energy migration and efficient photon upconversion at low excitation intensity in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). We have since been able to observe the upconverted emission from MOFs both in benzene dispersions and in polymeric films; hence, the concept of photon upconversion in MOFs based on triplet energy migration remains valid. However, we are now unable to observe solid-state upconversion emission at the low excitation intensity reported in Fig. 4d,e, and to quantitatively reproduce the triplet diffusion constants in MOFs reported in Supplementary Figs 8–13 and Supplementary Tables 1–3. Since these are key parameters of this paper, all authors wish to retract this Article. We deeply regret these circumstances and sincerely apologize to the scientific community for the inconvenience this publication has caused to others.

Photon upconversion nanomaterials.

Photon upconversion through the use of lanthanide-doped materials has been the focus of a growing body of research in the fields of materials chemistry and physics for more than 50 years. The attraction of this field has been the ability to generate photons at shorter wavelengths than the excitation wavelength after laser stimulation. Despite its potential utility for a number of applications, ...

Lanthanide-doped upconversion materials: emerging applications for photovoltaics and photocatalysis.

Photovoltaics and photocatalysis are two significant applications of clean and sustainable solar energy, albeit constrained by their inability to harvest the infrared spectrum of solar radiation. Lanthanide-doped materials are particularly promising in this regard, with tunable absorption in the infrared region and the ability to convert the long-wavelength excitation into shorter-wavelength li...

Current Advances in Lanthanide‐Doped Upconversion Nanostructures for Detection and Bioapplication

Along with the development of science and technology, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanostructures as a new type of materials have taken their place in the field of nanomaterials. Upconversion luminescence is a nonlinear optical phenomenon, which absorbs two or more photons and emits one photon. Compared with traditional luminescence materials, upconversion nanostructures have many advantages, ...
