Lanthanide-doped NaYF <sub>4</sub> upconversion nanoparticles as bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting
This study reports bifunctional β-NaYF<sub>4</sub>:Yb<sup>3+</sup>/Er<sup>3+</sup> and β-NaYF<sub>4</sub>:Yb<sup>3+</sup>/Tm<sup>3+</sup> UCNPs capable of efficient overall water splitting under both electrochemical and photoelectrochemical conditions, exhibiting low overpotentials, good stability, and enhanced PEC activity, offering a promising route toward sustainable, solar-driven hydrogen production.
