The up- and down-conversion properties of the as-prepared nanoparticles were tested at room temperature un-der a near-infrared photo source （980 nm） and UV-vis photo source, respectively.The results indicated thatα-TeO2 NPs were a kind of outstanding host material for both up- and down-conversion luminescence. Theα-TeO2：Ho3＋/Yb3＋nanoparticles showed sharp up-conversion emission at 545 and 660 nm under 980 nm excitation, ascribed to the5S2→5I8 and5F5→5I8（Ho3＋） transitions, and weaker down-conversion emission at 545 nm under 455 nm excitation, ascribed to the5S2→5I8（Ho3＋） transitions. Theα-TeO2：Eu3＋nanoparticles showed strong down-conversion emission at 592 and 615 nm under 395 nm excitation, attributed to the5D0→7F1 and 5D0→7F2 （Eu3＋） transitions. Possessing the advantages of these two luminescent materials, the as-prepared tri-doped samples ofα-TeO2：0.5Ho3＋/10Yb3＋/3Eu3＋ （mol.%）nanoparticles could successfully emit visible light via both up- and down-conversion modes.展开更多
