Ultrasmall and uniform tetrahedral-shaped YOF:Yb,Er upconversion nanophosphors (UCNs) are synthesized and sub-10 nm YOF:Yb,Er/YOF core/shell UCNs are formed via YOF:Yb,Er seed-mediated synthesis. The ultrasmall YOF:Yb,Er/YOF core/shell UCNs realize intense red emission under near infrared light (λex = 980 nm).
