Abstract

Cage fighter: Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles convert near-infrared light into ultraviolet light, which drives the photoinduced release of a “caged” species on the nanoparticle surface. This approach overcomes the problem that low-energy light is necessary for penetrating deeper into tissue without damage but cannot be used to directly trigger important organic photochemical reactions.
