Visible and NIR upconverting Er3+-Yb3+ luminescent nanorattles and other hybrid PMO‐inorganic structures for in vivo nanothermometry Ghent University
Lanthanide-doped luminescent nanoparticles are an appealing system for nanothermometry with biomedical applications due to their sensitivity, reliability, and minimal invasive thermal sensing properties. Here, four unique hybrid organic-inorganic materials prepared by combining beta-NaGdF4 and PMOs (periodic mesoporous organosilica) or mSiO(2) (mesoporous silica) are proposed. PMO/mSiO(2) materials are excellent candidates for ...
