We report a novel, simple strategy to efficiently enhance the fluorescence of metal-coated up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), NaYF4:Yb,Er/Tm. The UCNPs are functionalized with a polyamidoamine generation 1 (PAMAM G1) dendrimer, followed by a continuous growth of gold (Au) or silver (Ag) nanoshells to selectively enhance the up-converted green, violet and blue emissions (>20 fold).
