Tetragonal phase NaLnW2O8 (Ln = Y, Yb, Er, Tm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Ce, and Sm) nanocrystals were successfully prepared via a hydrothermal method. It is found that large ionic radii of lanthanide ions and high reaction temperature are beneficial for the formation of NaLnW2O8. The upconversion luminescence properties of NaYW2O8:Yb3+/Er3+ and NaYW2O8:Yb3+/Tm3+ were studied under 980 nm excitation. It is found that the luminescence intensity of 2H11/2 ?#xA0;4I15/2 is much stronger than that of 4S3/2 ?#xA0;4I15/2 as well as 4F9/2 ?#xA0;4I15/2 in NaYW2O8:Yb3+/Er3+. Interestingly, there is no apparent change in the intensity ratio of 2H11/2/4S3/2 ?#xA0;4I15/2 to 4F9/2 ?#xA0;4I15/2 on Er3+ concentration. By analyzing the Raman spectrum, we suggested that the nonradiative relaxation of 2H11/2 ?#xA0;4S3/2 is inefficient in NaYW2O8:Yb3+/Er3+, resulting in the strong 2H11/2 ?#xA0;4I15/2 emission. The CIE coordinates of the green luminescence changed with excitation power. While for NaYW2O8:Yb3+/Tm3+, the CIE coordinates of the blue luminescence (0.14, 0.10) is almost unchanged with excitation power. In addition, the photoluminescence of NaYW2O8:Eu3+ excited at different wavelengths was studied in detail.
