Lanthanide-based nanocomplexes stand out among optical sensors since for them one can implement an up-conversion luminescence (UCL) mode. The property eliminates the problem of extraction of nanoprobe luminescent signal against the background of the biological system autoluminescence. However, the surrounding molecules in natural biological systems crucially affect the luminescent properties of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP).
The study focuses on the effect of salts, acids and biomacromolecules on luminescent properties of UCNP in aqueous suspensions. UCL spectra of the NaYF4:Yb/Tm nanocomplexes in the presence of various molecules excited by 980 nm laser radiation were analyzed. The mechanisms of interaction of the nanocomplexes with surrounding molecules in aqueous suspensions, as well as the nature of the influence of various chemical groups on the UCNPs luminescent properties are discussed.
