Hello Zeeshan Uddin,

To use upconversion nanoparticles as a heating source you can make gold shell over the UCNPs. The following reference can help you. J. Mater. Chem. B, 2017,5, 7109-7117

(Article Upconversion nanoparticle-decorated gold nanoshells for near...

Check for the highest excitable polymer in visible/green lights. Iron oxide particles are also good enough!

Shivanand H. Nannuri thanks. that's what i was thinking.
