Product Overview

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are nanomaterials that can convert low-energy light into high-energy light. They are composed of inorganic nanocrystals doped with rare earth ions and have unique upconversion luminescence properties. Rare earth upconversion luminescence is based on the 4f electron transition of lanthanide rare earth ions. Currently, the common upconversion luminescence mechanisms can be summarized into three types: excited state absorption, energy transfer upconversion, and photon avalanche.

The preparation methods of upconversion nanoparticles mainly include coprecipitation method, high-temperature pyrolysis method, hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, sol gel method, etc. In order to widely apply UCNPs in the biomedical field, in addition to improving luminescence efficiency, it is also necessary to functionalize their surfaces to enhance water solubility and biocompatibility, and achieve multifunctionality. The main surface modification methods include ligand exchange (PEG, PEI, etc. with - COOH, - NH2 groups), ligand oxidation, ligand adsorption, layer by layer self-assembly, and silica coating.

Most of the rare earth doped ions in the nuclear nanoparticles are exposed on the crystal surface, which is prone to non radiative energy transfer with the external environment, leading to fluorescence quenching and thus reducing the upconversion luminescence efficiency. The most commonly used method to reduce this quenching process is to wrap an inert shell layer on the surface of doped nanocrystals to form a core-shell structure, which confines the luminescent ions in the internal core. The shell layer increases the distance between the luminescent center ion and the external environment, effectively reducing energy transfer and thus increasing the luminescence efficiency. At present, the most commonly used method is to modify the shell layer in the previously synthesized nuclear layer structure that is the same as the matrix material, such as NaYF: Yb, Er@NaYF4 NaYF4: Yb, Tm@NaYF4.


Technical Parameter

Excitation wavelength: 975-980nm

Particle diameter: 35 nm

Main components: NaYREF4 (RE:Yb, Tm) 

Product Features

 

Colorful luminescence: By changing the type and concentration of rare earth ions doped, multi-color luminescence from visible light to near-infrared light can be achieved.

Stokes shift is large: Stokes shift refers to the difference between the emission wavelength and the excitation wavelength. The Stokes shift of upconversion nanoparticles is relatively large, which can effectively reduce self absorption and background interference, improve luminescence efficiency and detection sensitivity.

Good photostability: Upconversion nanoparticles have good photostability and can maintain stable luminescence performance under long-term illumination.

Good biocompatibility: Through surface modification, upconversion nanoparticles can be coupled with biomolecules (such as proteins, antibodies, etc.) to achieve biological labeling and detection.

Non damaging to biological tissues: Its excitation light source near-infrared light (980nm or 808nm) has strong light penetration, almost no damage to biological tissues, and no background fluorescence.


Application Fields

 

Biomedical: Upconversion nanoparticles can serve as biomarkers for cell imaging, biological detection, drug delivery, and other applications. For example, coupling upconversion nanoparticles with antibodies or biomolecules can achieve targeted labeling and detection of specific cells or biomolecules.

Optical imaging: Upconversion nanoparticles can be used for deep tissue imaging, such as in vivo animal imaging. Due to its longer emission wavelength, it can penetrate deeper biological tissues, reduce tissue scattering and self fluorescence interference, and improve imaging clarity and contrast.

Photocatalysis: Upconversion nanoparticles can convert visible light into ultraviolet or near-infrared light, thereby broadening the spectral response range of photocatalytic materials and improving photocatalytic efficiency.

Solar cells: Upconversion nanoparticles can be used to improve the efficiency of solar cells. By combining upconversion nanoparticles with solar cell materials, low-energy photons can be converted into high-energy photons, increasing the absorption and utilization of solar light by the cell.

Great Multi-Function Watch
Color: Gray/Digital/Gray
I absolutely love my Timex Ironman watches. I have had many over a very long period of time. Wonderful set of functions for the price. Very affordable. Easy to use. Lasts a long time. Very easy to read in standard lighting. I like the Indiglo when needed, but do not use it too often. Absolutely love the ability to set a repeat timer to remind me to do something at a fixed interval, or to keep me on task for a fixed period of time. Great to be able to set three independent alarms. Potential to capture a huge number of splits with the stopwatch. I purchased this watch to replace a similar model with a dead battery. I have replaced batteries in the past, but it is quicker and easier to buy a replacement watch. I am saving my old watches for that day in the future when the Ironman model may no longer be available. I expect this will be my watch of choice for the rest of my life.

Just fine if you have simple needs...
Color: Black/Digital/Black/Green
Exactly what I needed: a cheap, durable wrist watch. The only thing it was lacking were instructions, but about 5 minutes of messing with the buttons got it set up

Compared to g-shock?
Color: Black/Yellow
Firstly random public reviews can be comical…”it’s has a battery, terrible, One star” or “I don’t like yellow, one star” omg peoples do better. I’ll review this while comparing to an older style of g-shock from the same era. I’ll start by saying this timex rocks, for me in my mid 50’s it’s so retro and nastalgic, brings back memories, I may have even owned this model back in the day. What’s great about it- the display, larger digits than the typical g-shock and they are super crisp, clear and easy to read. The indiglo is awesome. This is the most accurate quartz watch I have aside from the atomic g-shocks that adjust themselves daily. I prefer a chunky watch and the g-shocks do a better job in that department. i feel this watch is rugged, but I’d still give the nod to g-shock in this department. 200M water resistance is the gold standard and this watch has it which I love for peace of mind for any water based activities. This is a 5 star watch at a great price. I still love some aspects of a g-shock better but its just preference.

Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality
Color: Black/Yellow
I'm not a Timex fanboy, and I've had my fair share of problems with the Expedition line, so this review is my honest opinion as a man who's worn Armitrons and Timexes since I was 10. I remember in 1992 when the Timex Ironman Triathlon with Indiglo was first launched - My older brother got one, then me and my neighbor friends. Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality. Even Bill Clinton was rock'n this watch, for those who don't remember. Quite simply, this is the perfect watch at a great price, in my opinion. Perfect as a gift for any man, and I think the original black/olive drab/yellow coloration is still the coolest. In this day and age of smartphones, it still pays to have this watch. The alarm is less annoying sounding than a cellphone, and doesn't wake up the entire house. To turn it off, just tap the watch, no more reaching for the phone or alarm clock. Timer comes in handy for anything; timing my kids' timeouts when they get in trouble, 15 minutes room clean-up times, etc. Chrono is fun for anything you wanna use a stop-watch for. I set the second time zone for Vietnam time. It really is a million times easier to use this watch for all of its functions than reaching for a smartphone or alarm clock, etc. If you;ve been relying on your phone for a few years as a watch/chronograph/timer/alarm - you'll be so glad you finally got a watch like this. I've never tried a smart-watch, however I feel those are not as necessary,durable or practical as a real watch. Other Timex watches I've used were freakin' trash - couldn't throw em away fast enough. Might as well open the box while holding it over a trash can, so the watch can fall right in when you open the box. That's my experience with the Expedition line-up. Back to this watch: The only thing I wish this watch could do is measure activity thermogenesis (calories expended throught the day) or work as a pedometer, which some smart-watches and other devices can do. I also cannott decide if I like this new, slightly larger, heavier/thicker design of the Ironman Triathlon over the 1990s design. The 90s models styling was "tight to death'. Star-split buttons were seperated. The mode button was yellow. Overall more compact and bi-cultural;by that I mean it looked great as an athletic watch or a politician, business man wathc. This new model is bigger, better ingress/shock resistance, and more of an athletic style over all, and is a little less colorful. I almost went with the G-shocks, but they still just look like crap and are waay to expensive. Sure, they have some better features, can survive WWIII, but I am a traveler. I need a watch that can work in the dark in any environment. The G-shocks are often using some kind of solar battery crap and rely on cathing a signal from an American automic clock in Colorado - good luck with that while your in Thailand on vacation.
