    Petal-like Yb3+-Tm3+ codoped Y7O6F9 microparticles were achieved via ionic liquid-assisted (IL) hydrothermal process. The emission efficiency of Y7O6F9:Yb3+/Tm3+ powders is much stronger than that of Y2O3:Yb3+/Tm3+ sample. Under excitation at 980 nm with an unfocused laser beam under weak pump density of ∼0.1 W/cm2 (pump power 10 mW), the UC emission of the sample can been seen clearly. Four emission bands at 477, 540, 647 and 692 nm are observed and correspond to the 1G4 state to 3H6 state, 1D2 state to 3H5 state, 1G4 sate to 3F4 state, and 3F3 state to 3H6 state transition of Tm3+ ions. The enhanced UC emission is related to high crystallinity and lower effective phonon energy of oxyfluorides. The ionic liquid (IL) of [BMIM][BF4] is used both as the reaction medium and the source of F−.
