Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) with chemical composition Y 3 Al 5 O 12 is a wellknown<br />

host material to obtain highly efficient luminescent material (phosphor)<br />

that offer unprecedented applications capabilities to the scientific and<br />

technologic community. The structure of Y 3 Al 5 O 12 permits facile doping of the<br />

lanthanide ions leading to the formation of different composition possessing<br />

emission properties in a wide range (UV-NIR). Ease of tuning emission and high<br />

chemical stability of YAG host lead to their wide applicability in various<br />

advantageous applications, including lasers, white-emitting LED lamps,<br />

biomedical theranostics platforms, thermoluminescence dosimetry,<br />

nanothermometry and long persistent luminescence. We present an overview<br />

of YAG based nanophosphor and their synthesis pathways related morphology<br />

and luminescence properties. In addition, we explore various fields where the<br />

YAG based nanophosphors have been implemented and also discuss their<br />

futuristic applications.<br />

Keywords: nanophoshors, energy saving devices, nanomedicine<br />
