Aminosilane Functionalization and Cytotoxicity Effects of Upconversion Nanoparticles YO and GdO Co-Doped with Yband Er
In this study, luminescent upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) Y 2 O 3 and Gd 2 O 3 co-doped with Yb 3+ and Er 3+ were prepared by the sol-gel method (SG). These NPs are able to absorb near infrared photons and upconvert them into visible radiation with a direct application in bioimaging, as an impor...
