pH sensor based on upconverting luminescent lanthanide nanorods.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pH sensor exploits the phenomenon of upconversion luminescence and is based on a hydrogel matrix containing (a) nanorods of the NaYF(4):Er,Yb type that can be excited with 980-nm laser light to give a green and red (dual) emission, and (b) a longwave absorbing pH probe that causes a pH-dependent inner filter effect.

High Resolution Fluorescence Imaging of Cancers Using Lanthanide Ion-Doped Upconverting Nanocrystals
During the last decade inorganic luminescent nanoparticles that emit visible light under near infrared (NIR) excitation (in the biological window) have played a relevant role for high resolution imaging of cancer. Indeed, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and metal nanoparticles, mostly gold nanorods (GNRs), are already commercially available for this purpose. In this work we review the role whi...
متن کاملExperimental observation of spatially resolved photo-luminescence intensity distribution in dual mode upconverting nanorod bundles
A novel method for demonstration of photoluminescence intensity distribution in upconverting nanorod bundles using confocal microscopy is reported. Herein, a strategy for the synthesis of highly luminescent dual mode upconverting/downshift Y1.94O3:Ho3+0.02/Yb3+0.04 nanorod bundles by a facile hydrothermal route has been introduced. These luminescent nanorod bundles exhibit strong green emission...
متن کاملOptical Response Measurement of Upconverting Luminescent Reporters
We have prepared and characterized several lanthanide ion complexes of multidentate ligands or chelates in an effort to develop new luminescent reporters that will be immune to autofluorescence and photobleaching. Our study has involved the characterization of various chelates of Eu, Er, and Tm with respect to relative luminescent efficiency and excited state lifetimes. Included in the list of ...
متن کاملSensing of biologically relevant d-metal ions using a Eu(III)-cyclen based luminescent displacement assay in aqueous pH 7.4 buffered solution.
1·Eu·BPS was developed as a luminescent lanthanide sensor for use in displacement assays for detection of d-metal ions by monitoring the changes in the europium emission, which was quenched for iron(II), with a detection limit of ∼10 pM (0.002 μg L(-1)) for Fe(II) in buffered pH 7.4 solution.
متن کاملLanthanide Ion Doped Upconverting Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Structure and Properties.
Lanthanide doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have emerged as a new class of luminescent materials, with major discoveries and overall significant progress during the last decade. Unlike multiphoton absorption in organic dyes or semiconductor quantum dots, lanthanide doped UCNPs involve real intermediate quantum states and convert infrared (IR) into visible light via sequential electronic...
