Upconverting SrF2 nanoparticles doped with Yb3+/Ho3+, Yb3+/Er3+ and Yb3+/Tm3+ ions - optimisation of synthesis method, structural, spectroscopic and cytotoxicity studies.

Abstract:

:For a number of years nanomaterials have been continuously devised and comprehensively investigated because of the growing demand for them and their multifarious applications, especially in medicine. This paper reports on the properties of SrF2 nanoparticles (NPs) for applications in biomedicine, showing effective ways of their synthesis and luminescence under near infrared radiation - upconversion. NPs doped with lanthanide, Ln3+ ions (where Ln = Yb, Ho, Er, Tm) were prepared by the hydrothermal method and subjected to comprehensive studies, from determination of their structure and morphology, revealing small, 15 nm structures, through spectroscopic properties, to cytotoxicity in vitro. The effects of such factors as the reaction time, type and amount of precipitating compounds and complexing agents on the properties of products were characterized. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized and functionalized NPs was investigated, using human fibroblast cell line (MSU-1.1). The synthesized structures may decrease cells' proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in the measured concentration range (up to 100 µg/mL). However, the cells remain alive according to the fluorescent assay. Moreover, the treated cells were imaged using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Cellular uptake was confirmed by the presence of upconversion luminescence in the cells.
