    Near-IR photoactivation using mesoporous silica–coated NaYF4:Yb,Er/Tm upconversion nanoparticles

    Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNs) have the extraordinary ability to emit light with UV-visible wavelengths on illumination in the near IR region. This protocol describes the preparation of UCNs with potential ...
