We report a high-throughput synthesis of emissive microcomponents with rare-earth-doped upconverting nanocrystals (UCNs) using a contact flow lithography. Upconverting nanocrystals were synthesized using hydrothermal reaction and used as anti-Stokes emitters that absorb near-infrared (NIR) light and emit in visible spectrum. We utilized contact flow lithography for massive production of nonspherical composite microcomponents. Emissive composite microcomponents with a variety of shapes was synthesized and corresponding glass microcomponents were obtained through polymer burn-off. The synthesized particles with UCNs are stable at high temperature and have great potential to use as anti-counterfeiting platform.
