Rare earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which can convert visible light into near infrared light, have excellent luminescence properties, stable chemical properties, and can avoid self-fluorescence interference. Therefore, they can be widely used in biomedical fields. However, the low luminescence efficiency of UCNPs restricts its further development. In this paper, several methods for optimizing the luminescence of rare earth upconversion nanoparticles are reviewed, including adjusting matrix and doping ions, co-doping transition metal ions with lanthanide ions, introducing the synergistic sensitizers to reduce the thermal effect, and synergistic effect of organic dyes and UCNPs, metal surface plasmon resonance enhancement method, etc. This review discusses the latest research progress of the above methods, summarizes the problems existing in these methods, and points out the research and development focus on upconversion luminescence field. One is to analyze the mechanism of various optimized luminescence methods, and put forward a more complete and clear theoretical system. The other is to explore UCNPs which are degradable by organisms, in order to minimize the side effects.
