Abstract

Anisotropically structured upconversion nanocrystals capable of exhibiting bright upconversion emission properties are a promising new class of high performance optical materials. In this study, we investigate a facile synthetic method for the new nanoplate structure of YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ with enhanced luminescence intensity. The shape of YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ nanocrystals can be controlled by changing the synthesis conditions of the NaOH concentration, reaction time, and surfactant. The concentration of NaOH determines the final structure of YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺. By increasing the NaOH concentration from 0.25 mmol to 2.5 mmol, YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ nanoplates transform into NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ nanoparticles; in the absence of NaOH, the nanoplate structure of YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ changes to particles. The YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ nanoplates show luminescence efficiency much greater than that of the spherical YF₃:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ nanocrystals.
