Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have aroused extraordinary interest due to the unique physical and chemical properties. Combining UCNPs with other functional materials to construct nanocomposites and achieve synergistic effect abound recently, and the resulting nanocomposites have shown great potentials in various fields based on the specific design and components. This review presents a summary of diverse designs and synthesis strategies of UCNPs-based nanocomposites, including self-assembly, in-situ growth and epitaxial growth, as well as the emerging applications in bioimaging, cancer treatments, anti-counterfeiting, and photocatalytic fields. We then discuss the challenges, opportunities, and development tendency for developing UCNPs-based nanocomposites.
镧系掺杂的上转换纳米粒子（UCNPs）因其独特的物理和化学性质而引起了人们的极大兴趣。近年来，将UCNPs与其他功能材料结合以构建纳米复合材料并实现协同效应的研究层出不穷，基于特定的设计和组分，所得的纳米复合材料在各个领域都显示出了巨大的潜力。本文综述了基于UCNPs的纳米复合材料的各种设计和合成策略，包括自组装、原位生长和外延生长，以及在生物成像、癌症治疗、防伪和光催化领域的新兴应用。然后，我们讨论了开发基于UCNPs的纳米复合材料所面临的挑战、机遇和发展趋势。
