Abstract
Efficient upconversion (UC) enhancement of lanthanide doped phosphors is highly desirable due to great application, but it might face severe challenges, especially for poly-crystal materials due to having relatively fewer defects and with less flexibility in material design. Here we present BiOCl semiconductor poly-crystals with two-dimensional structure, in which approximate 100-fold UC luminescence enhancement of Er3+ ion dopants can be readily achieved via intercalation doping of Li+ ions. As Li+ ions were incorporated into the interlayer of BiOCl crystals, unique internal electric field (IEF) in BiOCl that trigger unusual photon avalanche (PA) UC phenomena accompanying with excitation field enhancement of Er3+ ions can be improved significantly, leading to the excellent UC enhancement. These results may pave a novel way for constructing greatly efficient UC poly-crystal materials as well as enable an improved understanding for material structure to design efficient photonic materials.
