Article Abstract

Developing optical thermometer phosphors with high sensitivity, high signal discriminability and strong fluorescence intensity is ongoing. A dual-emitting thermochromic phosphor, LiScSiO:Ce, Tb, was successfully synthesized via solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, electronic structure, luminescent performance and thermal luminescence behaviors as well as the luminescence mechanism of LiScSiO:Ce, Tb were systematically investigated. Due to the energy transfer and different thermoluminescence behaviors between Ce and Tb, high relative sensitivity (2.2 % K@473 K), excellent signal discriminability (5747 cm), outstanding temperature resolution (0.067 K) and good repeatability, as well as efficient emission at high temperatures were achieved based on the fluorescence intensity ratio of Ce and Tb, indicating its potential in ratiometric optical thermometer. Moreover, the excellent visualizing thermochromic enable LiScSiO:Ce, Tb to be used as safety sign in variable temperature environment to monitor temperature distribution.

Non-contact optical thermometer has been propelled to the frontiers of research due to its non-invasive operation, high thermal sensitivity, and fast response. Herein, a novel, to our knowledge, class of Pr-doped Bi(SiO) (BSO) phosphors was developed to achieve advancing fluorescent ratiometric thermometry: having a maximum relative sensitivity () of ~3.54% K at 298 K, and sustaining an entire value beyond 1.

2D Cuprous Halide Scintillator with Dual Excitation-Dependent and Thermochromic Luminescence toward Multifunctional Optoelectronic Applications.

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.

Recently, Bi-doped inorganic phosphors have garnered significant research interest due to their promising optoelectronic and thermometric applications. Herein, we present a novel and underexplored olivine type phosphor, CaLuGaO:Bi,Eu, which has been synthesized, thoroughly characterized and analyzed. The compound contains octahedrally coordinated Ca and Lu sites exhibiting significant crystal field splitting energy, which facilitates the incorporation of Bi and Eu to generate blue (P → S) and red (D → F) emissions, respectively.

A Novel Oxygen Vacancy in ScPO:Er for Luminescence Anti-Thermal Quenching.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Institute of Advanced Materials (IAM), Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing, 211816, China.

Different from previously reported shallow defects in ScPO, herein we have uncovered a deep defect, oxygen vacancy (V). The perfect energy level match with S/F in doped Er allows V to accept and store the excitation energy transferred from Er, which is then released and back-transferred to Er upon heating, and finally leads to significant luminescence anti-thermal quenching (LATQ). Moreover, the concentration of V can be adjusted by simple atmospheric annealing, which allows modulation of V → Er energy transfer for adjustable LATQ in ScPO:Er, i.
