Multifunctional magnetic-fluorescent eccentric-(concentric-Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@polyacrylic acid core-shell nanocomposites for cell imaging and pH-responsive drug delivery.

Nanoscale 5(6) , 2249-53, (2013)

Multifunctional fluorescent-magnetic pH-responsive eccentric-(concentric-Fe3O4@SiO2)@polyacrylic acid core-double shell nanocomposites (NCs) have been prepared for simultaneous cell imaging and pH-responsive drug delivery. To confirm the universality of the s...

Synthesis of YF3: Yb, Er upconverting nanofluorophores using chitosan and their cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cells.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 72 , 1308-12, (2014)

In this work, we described one pot hydrothermal synthesis of surface modified water soluble YF3: Yb, Er upconverting nanofluorophores (UCNFs) using natural biopolymer chitosan. The obtained nanocrystals have undergone X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transfor...

Synthesis of LiYF4:Yb, Er upconversion nanoparticles and its fluorescence properties.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 14(6) , 4710-3, (2014)

LiYbF4:Yb, Er nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by thermal decomposition of multiple trifluoroacetic acid salts. The SEM and TEM results show the size of the LiYF4:Yb, Er nanoparticles is about 100 nm in diagonal line, and the morphology of the...

Biodistribution of sub-10 nm PEG-modified radioactive/upconversion nanoparticles.

The biodistribution of lanthanide-based upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) has attracted increasing attention, and all of the reported UCNPs display metabolism in the liver and spleen mainly. Herein, ∼8 nm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-coated NaYF4 nanoparticle...

Determination of ammonia in water based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer between peroxymonocarbonate and branched NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles.

Anal. Chem. 84(20) , 8871-9, (2012)

The ultraweak chemiluminescence (CL) from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and carbonate is strongly enhanced by the branched NaYF(4):Yb(3+)/Er(3+) nanoparticle (NP) in the presence of aqueous ammonia. It was explained that ammonia catalyzes the decompositio...

Lanthanide near infrared imaging in living cells with Yb3+ nano metal organic frameworks.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 110(43) , 17199-204, (2013)

We have created unique near-infrared (NIR)-emitting nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nano-MOFs) incorporating a high density of Yb(3+) lanthanide cations and sensitizers derived from phenylene. We establish here that these nano-MOFs can be incorporated int...
