Nanomaterials are the subject of extensive investigations due to their applications in medicine, multimodal imaging, volumetric displays, and photonics. Here, lanthanide-doped bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been reported. The nanoparticles have been synthesized by a...
