Article Abstract

Luminescent thermometers provide a non-contact method of probing temperature with high sensitivity and response speed at the nanoscale. Synergistic photoluminescence from different activators can realize high sensitivity for luminescent thermometers by finely selecting ions with specific crystallographic sites. Herein, the more temperature-sensitive Mn and the less-sensitive Eu (or Sm) activators are co-doped into a CaGdSbO matrix to form an effective thermometer, where Mn and Eu (or Sm) ions occupy the Sb and Gd sites, respectively. The co-doping of Eu ions or Sm ions leads to lattice expansion of CaGdSbO matrix and a tuned narrow emission from deep-red to orangish-red. According to the ratio of luminescence intensity, the maximal and values are 0.19 K (347 K) and 1.38% K (420 K) for CaGdSbO:Mn/Eu probe and 0.26 K (363 K) and 1.55% K (430 K) for CaGdSbO:Mn/Sm probe thermometers, respectively. In addition, thermometers based on Mn emission lifetimes can provide the highest relative sensitivity of 1.47% K at 425 K. Thus, the highly-temperature-sensitive CaGdSbO:Mn/(Eu or Sm) phosphor is a promising candidate for practical luminescence thermometers.

Ligand triplet energy escape in lanthanide complexes for developing luminescent molecular thermometers.

Luminescent lanthanide complexes can exhibit temperature-sensitive metal-centered emission due to energy transfer quenching from the lanthanide to the ligand triplet states, which have been promising application in emission lifetime-based thermometers. However, the long-lived ligand triplet state limits the temperature sensitivity of lanthanide emission. This study demonstrates an enhancement in the temperature sensitivity of Tb(III) emission by introducing an energy escape pathway from the ligand triplet state.

Excitation- and temperature-dependent multicolor luminescent materials are valuable in advanced optoelectronic devices while they haven't been realized in 2D metal halides owing to the restrictions of Kasha's rule. Herein, we reported a novel 2D lead-free halide of (AMP)CuBr (AMP = N-aminomorpholine) through structural engineering, in which the [CuBr] layer is composed of corner- and edge-shared [CuBr] tetrahedron. The non-centrosymmetric structure enables (AMP)CuBr to exhibit an impressive second-harmonic generation signal of ≈0.

Low-dimensional halide perovskites are highly susceptible to thermal quenching (TQ) due to strong soft lattice nature. Currently, examples of thermally enhanced NIR luminescence in low-dimensional materials are very scarce to the knowledge. Herein, the active role of vibronic coupling is manifested through thermal tunability of broadband NIR emission in 0D W-activated CsZrCl, leading to anti-TQ behavior ranging from 80 to 613 K.

Accurate temperature sensing at the subcellular level is of great significance for gaining insights into a wide range of biological processes. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a promising photophysical phenomenon in which the luminescence intensity is highly related to the degree of restriction of intramolecular motions. By combining AIE luminogen (AIEgen) ligands with mixed lanthanide ions, an AIEgen-based mixed lanthanide MOF (LnMOF) can be synthesized.
