In recent years, the overwhelming majority of the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) prominent applications have originated from their unique luminescent properties. Due to original properties of inorganic UCNPs they attract the interest in numerous fields. We discussed a number of UCNP assisted techniques, such as biomedical imaging, therapy agents, anti-counterfeit labels and 3D printing, showing highly versatile and translatable UCNP photoluminescent nanotechnology for the applications in industry and biomedicine.
