We synthesized the uniform core-shell microstructured compounds with hexagonal phase NaYF₄:Er/Yb microrods as the core and hexagonal phase NaLnF₄ (NaYbF₄, NaLuF₄:Yb/Tm, NaYF₄:Yb/Er, NaYF₄:Eu) as the shell based on the hydrothermal reaction. These microscale core-shell structures provided a platform for the spatially confining optical process while possessing high luminescence efficiency. The thickness of the shell could be controlled by adjusting the amounts of shell precursor, which significantly affected the intensity of the shell dopant ions emission and the emission color of core-shell upconversion luminescence (UCL). The uniform NaYF₄@NaLnF₄ (Ln = Y, Lu, Yb) microrods, with a series of rare-earth ions doped into the core and shell layer at various doping concentrations, achieved color-tuning of the upconversion (UC) emission and dual-mode emission at the single-microcrystal level, thus allowing the efficient utilization of core-shell microcrystals in the photonics and security labeling. This study suggests a new class of luminescent materials in the microscopic field.
