The Er-Yb:NaYF4 nanoparticles are adsorbed on the petals(the position of the strongest local electric field on W(18)O(49) nanoflowers).With a 976 nm laser diode(LD) as an excitation source, the selectively green upconversion luminescence(UCL) is observed to be enhanced by two orders of magnitude in Er-Yb: NaYF4/W(18)O(49) nanoflowers heterostructures. It suggests that the near infrared(NIR)-excited localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR) of W(18)O(49) is primarily responsible for the enhanced UCL, which could be partly reabsorbed by the W(18)O(49), thus leading to the selective enhancement of green UCL for the Er-Yb: NaYF4. The fluorescence intensity ratio is investigated as a function of temperature based on the intense green UCL, which indicates that Er-Yb: NaYF4/W(18)O(49) nanoflower heterostructures have good potential for developing into temperature sensors.展开更多

An excellent supercapacitive performance was achieved by the U-WO because of its large Brunauer-Emmett- Teller (BET) specific surface area (ca. 123 m2.g-1) and unique morphological and structural features. The U-WO electrodes not only exhibit a high rate-capability with a specific capacitance (Csp) of -235 F·g-1 at a current density of 20 A.g-1, but also superior long-life performance for 1,000 cycles, and even up to 7,000 cycles, showing -176 F·g-1 at a high current density of 40 A.g-1.展开更多
