a research focus in drug delivery systems [2]. Recently, Twodimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous attention owing to their large surface area and special physical and chemical properties. In this work, 2D YBO3: Ce3 +-Yb3 + nanosheets were successfully prepared using liquid exfoliation method. The prepared nanosheets showed porous structure (Fig. 1a) which favored surface modification. The thickness of the nanosheets was ca. 3.932 nm (not shown here). In addition, 3D AFM image of the nanosheet surface (Fig. 1b) demonstrated the surface undulation of the nanosheets attributable to the porous structure. Moreover, the PL spectra in Fig. 1c indicated that the exfoliated nanosheets showed enhanced near-infrared (NIR) emission properties compared to the bulk (emission center: 971 nm, excited by 360 nm). Therefore, the nanosheets could enhance the energy transfer efficiency between Ce3 + and Yb3 + and show potential in drug delivery applications.

[email protected] (X. Hu) Over the past decades, much effort has been devoted to design of novel sustained/controlled drug delivery systems. However, as commonly used fluorescent components, organic dyes usually suffer from rapid photobleaching, poor stability and low quantum yield, while inorganic quantum dots (QDs) are plague from optical blinking and toxicity. For comparison, rare earth (RE) based inorganic materials exhibit good luminescent properties, chemical/photochemical inertness and low toxicity. Particularly, near-infrared (NIR) emission is highly desirable for bioimaging and controlled drug delivery because it enables high contrast in vivo imaging due to the lack of interference from tissue autofluorescence in the NIR window [1]. YBO3 based phosphors, due to their high optical efficiency, low toxicity and exceptional fluorescent damage threshold, have become
