Recent Trends in Upconversion Luminescent Inorganic Materials and Nanomaterials for Enhanced Photovoltaic Solar Cell and Biological Applications.
Review in Journal of fluorescence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) luminescent materials have emerged as captivating contenders in revolutionizing both photovoltaic (PV) solar cell efficiency and biological capabilities. Their unique ability to convert low-energy infrared light into high-energy visible or ultraviolet (UV) photons unlocks untapped resources in the solar spectrum and allows for deeper tissue penetration in biological imaging. By bridging the gap between recent advancements and remaining hurdles, we aim to inspire further research and accelerate the translation of these materials into practical and impactful applications for both energy and healthcare. This review delves into the recent trends propelling these materials forward. We explore advancements in UC efficiency through optimized material design, novel synthesis routes, and synergistic integration with existing technologies. In the domain of PVs, we shed light on strategies utilizing UC to address spectral mismatch and enhance light harvesting, paving the way for higher power conversion efficiencies. For biological applications, we illuminate the development of biocompatible and targeted UC probes, enabling deep tissue penetration, multimodality imaging, and theranostic potential. We critically analyze the current limitations and future directions of these materials, highlighting the challenges of toxicity, quenching, and scalability that remain to be tackled. By providing a comprehensive overview of the exciting progress and persistent hurdles in UC research, this review aims to guide future explorations and catalyze the widespread adoption of these materials in sustainable energy generation and advanced medical diagnostics.
