Harnessing lanthanides for blue-to-UVB upconversion and its dye-sensitization
An upconverter upconverts blue light into UVB photons, which can be used in dermatology to cure certain skin diseases. This concept mitigates the effects of UVB toxicity on healthy skin regions that may occur when direct UVB is administered.
