Dense Silica Coated Upconverting Nanoparticles

Dense Silica Coated Upconverting Nanoparticles

Upconverting Nanoparticles:
Upconverting nanoparticles are an advanced class of nanomaterials that convert low-energy near-infrared photons into higher-energy visible or ultraviolet photons. Their unique optical properties, including tunable emission wavelengths, high photostability, and low background interference, make them valuable in a wide range of applications, particularly in biomedical imaging, therapy, sensing, and photonics.
The upconverting nanoparticles are often coated with a protective shell to enhance stability, improve upconversion efficiency, and reduce quenching effects. This protective shell can be made of the same material as the core but without the dopants or can be a different material.
