Perspectives for Upconverting Nanoparticles
Abstract
Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are inorganic crystalline nanomaterials that can convert near-infrared (NIR) excitation light into visible and ultraviolet emission light. Excitation with NIR light minimizes autofluorescence background and enables deeper penetration into biological samples due to reduced light scattering. Although these optical features make UCNPs promising candidates for bioanalytical and biomedical applications, the performance of UCNPs is compromised by their low optical brightness. Research in the field of UCNP technology focuses on strategies to boost upconversion luminescence brightness and efficiencies. In this Perspective, I discuss challenges associated with the use of UCNPs and provide a 10-year proposed strategic plan to enable translation of UCNP technology from the academic stage into real world products and applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
