Lanthanide-based Nanocarriers



​Our team seeks to develop novel lanthanide-based nanophosphors as multifunctional nanocarriers for optical bioimaging and energy conversion applications.

​Combining materials science, chemistry, physics and biological aspects, our main areas of research are
  1. the synthesis of lanthanide-doped nanophosphors with optimized near-infrared and upconversion emission, controlled size, crystalline phase and morphology and application-oriented surface modification (DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b02697, DOI: 10.1039/C9TC04817K)
  2. the implementation of the nanophosphors in biological systems as near-infrared and MRI bioprobes (DOI: 10.1039/C9NR00241C) and to assess (and better understand) nano-bio-interactions
  3. the design of novel optical materials for energy harvesting and photocatalytical technologies (DOI: 10.1039/C9TC00215D)
  4. hyperspectral imaging (DOI: 10.1002/chem.201801224, DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b02697)
  5. the investigation of energy transfer processes in luminescent lanthanide-based materials and molecules as well as their hybrids (DOI: 10.1021/acsphotonics.8b01381).
