Review on the photocatalytic properties of upconversion semiconductor core-shell nanocomposites

Upconversion luminescent materials have optical property of converting near-infrared(NIR) light into ultraviolet and visible light (Vis).The absorption range of traditional semiconductor materials is extended to NIR region by combining with upconversion luminescent materials to make full use of sunlight.Photocatalytic activities of nanocomposites are improved.Core-shell structure can not only effectively prevent contamination of core material (upconversion material),but also make them in close contact to facilitate the transmission of fluorescence resonance energy,thus more light is utilized by shell material (semiconductor material).In this paper,preparation of synthetic materials,degradation rate of organic pollutants,and effects of reaction conditions on degradation rate were systematically discussed.Combination and catalytic mechanism of core-shell structured nanocomposites were analyzed.Finally,it was pointed out that study on recombination of high efficiency fluorescent materials and more catalytic active semiconductor materials,application in the future should be strengthened.
