Surface modified NaYF:Yb/Er/Zn upconversion nanoparticles were obtained by using branched polyethylenimine (PEI). Strong fluorescence emission was observed and the influence of copper ions on the fluorescence emission of the PEI-modified NaYF:Yb/Er/Zn nanoparticles was investigated. It was found that the fluorescence emission can be quenched through luminescence resonance energy transfer from the particle to the copper ions. The results show that the PEI modified NaYF:Yb/Er/Zn nanoparticle can be used as a fluorescent probe for highly sensitive and selective detection of copper ions.
通过使用支化聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)获得了表面改性的NaYF:Yb/Er/Zn上转换纳米颗粒。观察到强烈的荧光发射,并研究了铜离子对PEI改性的NaYF:Yb/Er/Zn纳米颗粒荧光发射的影响。发现通过从颗粒到铜离子的发光共振能量转移可以淬灭荧光发射。结果表明,PEI改性的NaYF:Yb/Er/Zn纳米颗粒可作为用于高灵敏度和选择性检测铜离子的荧光探针。
