摘要：Lanthanide-based nanoconstructs have gained increasing attention in recent decades due to their unique optical and magnetic properties. The design of lanthanide-based nanosystems is expected to contribute to various applications including biomedical applications, data storage, optical communications, remote sensing, super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, and night vision etc., due to their advantageous properties such as excellent photostability, non-photobleaching, low cytotoxicity, large Stokes/anti-Stokes shift, narrow and tunable emission peaks. There are two major limitations for lanthanide ions, including weak absorption and low photon conversion efficiency. Developing novel lanthanide-based nanoconstructs and uncovering new insights of the energy conversion pathways are key to the advancement of the field. The main goal of my research is to solve the above-mentioned limitations by engineering novel lanthanide-based nanostructures based on the design of the energy migration pathways within the f sub-level orbitals of the lanthanide ions, while garnering breakthrough insights to develop novel and highly efficient lanthanide-based nanoconstructs/hybrids. In this talk, I will introduce our recent work about a) ultrasmall/multilayer lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, b) dye-sensitized lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and c) novel nanocomposites as photothermal agents and their corresponding applications in light-controlled release, light-activated photomedicines, sensing, multiplexing imaging, photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. I hope the strategies and studies presented in this talk could further enhance the attractiveness of lanthanide-based nanoconstructs towards clinical translation and applications influencing our daily life.
