Description

Up/down conversion dual-mode luminescent nanocrystal and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano materials, in particular to a sunflower-shaped dual-mode up/down conversion luminescence nanocrystal with red light (an emission peak is about 650nm) and near infrared (an emission peak is about 1520nm) and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Upconversion luminescence is an anti-Stokes process, which refers to a luminescence phenomenon capable of absorbing two or more long wavelength photons and emitting one short wavelength photon. The substrate of the rare earth up-conversion luminescent material mainly comprises oxide, fluoride, oxyfluoride, sulfur-containing compound, halide and the like, wherein the rare earth fluoride has the characteristics of low phonon energy, less radiationless transition, high doping concentration of elements and the like, and is an ideal substrate for up-conversion luminescence, so the rare earth up-conversion luminescent material has wide application prospect in the field of luminescent materials. Currently, the most widely studied up-conversion luminescent materials are rare earth doped nanocrystals using Er, Tm or Ho as an activator.
Near-infrared excited rare-earth upconversion luminescence nanotechnology has attracted extensive research interest in upconversion light-triggered therapy and the like due to its unique luminescence mechanism and excellent luminescence property. The rare earth up-conversion nanocrystal has deeper tissue penetration depth, lower autofluorescence and excellent photobleaching resistance when applied to light trigger treatment, so the rare earth up-conversion nanocrystal is relatively suitable for being used as a 'photon converter' in deep biological tissues. However, for up-conversion fluorescence imaging, there still exist problems of high absorption and scattering by biological tissues due to up-converted short wavelength photons. In addition, the simultaneous use of up-conversion fluorescence for light-triggered therapy and optical imaging has the problem of uncontrollable energy distribution or insufficient energy supply. Therefore, in order to obtain higher optical imaging signal-to-noise ratio, the development of rare earth nanocrystals with excellent near infrared (700-. Currently, a subject group reports that Yb/Ce/Er or Ce/Er co-doped nanocrystals are used for near-infrared two-region biosensing or imaging related researches, however, high doping of Ce inevitably brings about matrix lattice defects, and further causes reduction of luminous intensity.
In the field of anticancer, rare earth upconversion fluorescence mediated light-triggered therapy remains a current research hotspot. For rare earth luminescent nanocrystals, only the near infrared down-conversion fluorescence property has limitations. In order to realize the expanded application of the rare earth luminescent nanocrystal in biological diagnosis and other related fields, the rare earth luminescent nanocrystal has important significance for giving up-conversion and down-conversion near-infrared dual-mode fluorescence performance. And a new nanocrystal with up-conversion and down-conversion dual-mode luminescence properties is sought as a potential anticancer diagnosis and treatment nano platform, and further research and exploration are still needed.
In conclusion, no report has been made on the scheme or route for preparing the high-performance rare earth fluoride nanocrystal which takes near-infrared light as an excitation light source and has strong up-conversion red light and down-conversion near-infrared two-region dual-mode fluorescence.

The preparation method has four characteristics:
1. the preparation method of the material comprises a two-step high-temperature solvothermal method, is simple and easy to implement, and the generated nanocrystals have good dispersibility and uniform particle size distribution.
2. When rare earth ions gadolinium and ytterbium are doped into the inner core, the doping of gadolinium is favorable for obtaining the core nano-crystal with a hexagonal phase, and the hexagonal phase is favorable for realizing stronger fluorescence emission;
3. the core is doped with low-content holmium, so that the down-conversion near-infrared luminescence is not obviously influenced, meanwhile, three cross relaxation processes between cerium and holmium endow the nanocrystalline with an up-conversion red light emission function, and the coating of the shell layer is favorable for improving the up-conversion luminescence intensity of the nanocrystalline;

The preparation methods described in the above three examples have four characteristics: the preparation method for generating the material comprises a two-step high-temperature solvothermal method, is simple and feasible, and the generated nanocrystals have good dispersibility and uniform particle size distribution. Secondly, when rare earth ions gadolinium and ytterbium are doped into the inner core, the doping of gadolinium is favorable for obtaining the core nanocrystal with the hexagonal phase, and the hexagonal phase is favorable for realizing stronger fluorescence emission; and thirdly, low-content holmium is doped in the core, so that the down-conversion near-infrared luminescence is not obviously influenced, meanwhile, three cross relaxation processes between cerium and holmium endow the nanocrystalline with an up-conversion red light emission function, and the coating of the shell layer is favorable for improving the up-conversion luminescence intensity of the nanocrystalline. Fourthly, when the core with smaller size is doped with rare earth ion erbium and the shell with thicker size is doped with rare earth ion cerium, because of unique energy level matching between cerium and erbium, after ytterbium transfers energy to erbium, cross relaxation effect occurs between erbium and cerium, the small size of the core is very favorable for improving the occurrence probability of the cross relaxation, and further, photons on the red light level and the green light level of erbium are sharply reduced and photons on the near infrared two-region light level are rapidly accumulated; the doping concentration of erbium ions in the core is 2%, the doping concentration of ytterbium ions is 20% of the traditional doping concentration, and the doping of ytterbium in the shell layer greatly improves the absorption capacity of the nanocrystalline on near-infrared excitation photons; the luminous intensity of the near-infrared two regions of erbium is increased and then decreased along with the increase of the doping concentration of cerium ions of the shell layer, and when the doping concentration of cerium is 30%, the near-infrared two regions emit strongest light, which is 11.7 times higher than that of the core-shell structure nanocrystalline undoped with Ce.
The nanocrystalline obtained in the embodiment can be used for preparing a drug carrier, such as a mesoporous nano-drug carrier, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
mixing the nanocrystals prepared at any of examples 1-3 with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and deionized water, and stirring to obtain a transparent and clear solution; adding ethanol and sodium hydroxide solution; heating the mixture to 70-75 ℃ under a stirring state, dropwise adding ethyl orthosilicate, and continuing the reaction process for 10-15 min; repeatedly washing with ethanol, adding ethanol and ammonium nitrate, heating to 60 ℃, keeping for 2-3 h, and centrifugally separating with ethanol to obtain a product, namely the drug carrier coated with the mesoporous silica, wherein the specific chemical expression is as follows:
NaGdF4:54%Yb/20%Ce/2%Ho/0.5%Er@NaGdF4:20%Yb/30%Ce@mSiO2
by adopting the technical scheme disclosed by the invention, the following beneficial effects are obtained:
the synthesis route provided by the invention has the advantages of simple and easy operation, uniform particle size distribution, high product purity and environmental protection, and the strong red and near-infrared two-region fluorescence of the nanocrystalline is given by doping different rare earth elements and controlling the sizes of the core and the shell in the core-shell structure, the near-infrared fluorescence can be used as a potential optical imaging contrast agent, and the prepared nanocrystalline can be used as a nano energy converter for light trigger treatment by red light emission. Therefore, the nanocrystalline can be used in the fields of biological imaging probes or drug carriers and the like, and can be used as a potential diagnosis and treatment integrated nano platform.
