Abstract
Luminescence thermometry presents precise remote temperature measurement capabilities but faces significant challenges in real-world applications, primarily stemming from the calibration's susceptibility to environmental factors. External factors can compromise accuracy, necessitating resilient measurement protocols to ensure dependable temperature (T) readings across various settings. We explore a novel three-dimensional (3D) approach based on time-gated (t) luminescence thermometric parameters, Δ(T,t), employing physical mixtures of surface-engineered carbon dots (CDs) based on dibenzoylmethane and rhodamine B. These CDs showcase enduring, temperature-responsive, and customizable phosphorescence, easily activated by low-power LEDs and distinguished by their prolonged emission time due to thermally activated delayed phosphorescence. Quantifying the thermal emission dependency is achievable through conventional spectrometer analyses or by capturing photographs with a smartphone's camera under flashlight illumination, yielding up to 30 time-gated ratiometric thermometric parameters per sample. Notably, within the temperature range of 23-45 °C, the maximum relative sensitivity of 7.9% °C-1 surpasses current state-of-the-art CD-based thermometers and ensures temperature readout with low-resolution portable devices as non-modified smartphones.

Abstract
Accurate, rapid, and remote detection of pressure, one of the fundamental physical parameters, is vital for scientific, industrial, and daily life purposes. However, due to the limited sensitivity of luminescent manometers, the optical pressure monitoring has been applied mainly in scientific studies. Here, we developed the first supersensitive optical pressure sensor based on the exciton-type luminescence of the Bi3+-doped, double perovskite material Cs2Ag0.6Na0.4InCl6. The designed luminescent manometer exhibits an extremely high sensitivity, i.e. dλ/dp = 112 nm GPa-1. It also allows multi-parameter sensing, using both blue-shift and rarely observed band narrowing with pressure. Importantly, this material has small temperature dependence for the manometric parameter used, i.e. spectral shift, allowing detection under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. The developed sensor operates in the visible range, and its emission shifts from orange to blue with pressure. This approach allowed us to demonstrate the real-world application of this sensor in detecting small changes in pressure with a designed uniaxial pressure device, with unprecedented resolution of the order of a few bars, demonstrating the technological potential of this sensor for remote, online monitoring of cracks and strains in heavy construction facilities.

Achieving Ultra-Broadband Sunlight-Like Emission in Single-Phase Phosphors: The Interplay of Structure and Luminescence. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2406164.

Abstract
The quest for artificial light sources mimicking sunlight has been a long-standing endeavor, particularly for applications in anticounterfeiting, agriculture, and color hue detection. Conventional sunlight simulators are often cost-prohibitive and bulky. Therefore, the development of a series of single-phase phosphors Ca9LiMg1-xAl2x/3(PO4)7:0.1Eu2+ (x = 0-0.75) with sunlight-like emission represents a welcome step towards compact and economical light source alternatives. The phosphors are obtained by an original heterovalent substitution method and emit a broad spectrum spanning from violet to deep red. Notably, the phosphor with x = 0.5 exhibits an impressive full width at half-maximum of 330 nm. A synergistic interplay of experimental investigations and theory unveils the mechanism behind sunlight-like emission due to the local structural perturbations introduced by the heterovalent substitution of Al3+ for Mg2+, leading to a varied distribution of Eu2+ within the lattice. Subsequent characterization of a series of organic dyes combining absorption spectroscopy with convolutional neural network analysis convincingly demonstrates the potential of this phosphor in portable photodetection devices. Broad-spectrum light source testing empowers the model to precisely differentiate dye patterns. This points to the phosphor being ideal for mimicking sunlight. Beyond this demonstrated application, the phosphor's utility is envisioned in other relevant domains, including visible light communication and smart agriculture.

Abstract
Smart stimuli-responsive persistent luminescence materials, combining the various advantages and frontier applications prospects, have gained booming progress in recent years. The trap-controlled property and energy storage capability to respond to external multi-stimulations through diverse luminescence pathways make them attractive in emerging multi-responsive smart platforms. This review aims at the recent advances in trap-controlled luminescence materials for advanced multi-stimuli-responsive smart platforms. The design principles, luminescence mechanisms, and representative stimulations, i.e., thermo-, photo-, mechano-, and X-rays responsiveness, are comprehensively summarized. Various emerging multi-responsive hybrid systems containing trap-controlled luminescence materials are highlighted. Specifically, temperature dependent trapping and de-trapping performance is discussed, from extreme-low temperature to ultra-high temperature conditions. Emerging applications and future perspectives are briefly presented. It is hoped that this review would provide new insights and guidelines for the rational design and performance manipulation of multi-responsive materials for advanced smart platforms.

Abstract
CuInS2 quantum dots have emerged in the last years as non-toxic alternative to traditional Pb and Cd based quantum dots, especially for biological applications. In this work, the hydrothermal synthesis of alloyed Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS) doped with manganese(II) is explored, with different metal ratios (Mn-CIZSy). The doped quantum dots show the sensitized emission of Mn2+ (approximately ms lifetime), together with the emission of the CIZS structure (approximately µs lifetime). The relative contribution of Mn2+ emission is highly dependent on the composition of the CIZS hosting structure (In:Cu ratio). In addition to that, it is shown that Mn2+ sensitization requires a threshold energy, which suggests the involvement of an intermediate state in the sensitization mechanism. The long-lived emission intensity decay of Mn2+ shows a stable and reversible temperature response in physiological conditions (25-45 °C, pH = 7.4). Mn-CIZSy quantum dots are thus interesting candidates as biological luminescent temperature probe thanks to their easy synthesis, high colloidal stability, insensitivity to dioxygen quenching and quantitative time-gated detection.

Abstract
The reaction of fluoride anions with mononuclear rare-earth(III) complexes of the hexaazamacrocycle derived from 2,6-diformylpyridine and ethylenediamine affords trinuclear coordination compounds [Ln3L3(μ2-F)4(NO3)2](NO3)3. The X-ray crystal structures of these complexes show triplex cationic complexes where the three roughly parallel macrocyclic lanthanide(III) units are linked by bis-μ2-F bridges. The detailed analysis of the photophysical properties of the [Eu3L3(μ2-F)4(NO3)2](NO3)3·2H2O and [Tb3L3(μ2-F)4(NO3)2](NO3)3·3H2O complexes reveals different temperature dependence of luminescence intensity and luminescence decay time of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) derivatives. The spectra of mixed species of average composition [Eu1.5Tb1.5L3(μ2-F)4(NO3)2](NO3)3·3H2O are in accordance with the ratiometric luminescent thermometer behavior. Measurements of the direct-current (dc) magnetic susceptibility of the [Dy3L3(μ2-F)4(NO3)2](NO3)3·2H2O complex indicate possible ferromagnetic interactions between the Dy(III) ions. Alternating current (ac) susceptibility measurements of this complex indicate single-molecule magnet behavior in zero dc field with magnetic relaxation dominated by Orbach mechanism and an effective energy barrier Ueff = 12.3 cm-1 (17.7 K) with a pre-exponential relaxation time, τ0 of 7.3 × 10-6 s. A similar reaction of mononuclear macrocyclic complexes with a higher number of fluoride equivalents results in polymeric {[Ln3L3(μ2-F)5](NO3)4}n complexes. The X-ray crystal structure of the Nd(III) derivative of this type shows trinuclear units that are additionally linked by single fluoride bridges to form a linear coordination polymer.

Abstract
Luminescence thermometry is the state-of-the-art technique for remote nanoscale temperature sensing, offering numerous promising cutting-edge applications. Advancing nanothermometry further requires rational design of phosphors and well-defined, comprehensive mathematical treatment of spectral information. However, important questions regarding improper signal processing in ratiometric luminescence thermometry are continuously overlooked in the literature. Here, we demonstrate that systematic errors arising from background/signal superposition impact the calculated thermometric quality parameters of ratiometric thermometers. We designed ultraviolet-excitable (Y,Eu)VO4 and (Y,Eu)(P,V)O4 nanocrystals showing overlapped VO4 3- and Eu3+ emissions to discuss systematically how uncorrected background emissions cause magnified (∼10×) temperature uncertainties and undervalued (∼60%) relative thermal sensitivities. Adequate separation of spectral contributions from the VO4 3- background and the Eu3+ signals via baseline correction is necessary to prevent underestimation of the thermometric performances. The described approach can be potentially extended to other luminescent thermometers to account for signal superposition, thus enabling to circumvent computation of apparent, miscalculated thermometric parameters.

Abstract
Thermo-responsive smart materials have aroused extensive interest due to the particular significance of temperature sensing. Although various photoluminescent materials are explored in thermal detection, it is not applicable enough in X-ray radiation environment where the accuracy and reliability will be influenced. Here, a strategy is proposed by introducing the concept of radio-luminescent functional building units (RBUs) to construct thermo-responsive lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) scintillators for self-calibrating thermometry. The rational designs of RBUs (including organic ligand and Tb3+/Eu3+) with appropriate energy levels lead to high-performance radio-luminescence. Ln-MOFs scintillators exhibit perfect linear response to X-ray, presenting low dose rate detection limit (min ≈156.1 nGyairs-1). Self-calibrating detection based on ratiometric XEL intensities is achieved with good absolute and relative sensitivities of 6.74 and 8.1%K-1, respectively. High relative light yield (max ≈39000 photons MeV-1), imaging spatial resolution (max ≈18 lp mm-1), irradiation stability (intensity ≈100% at 368 K in total dose up to 215 Gyair), and giant color transformation visualization benefit the applications, especially the in situ thermo-responsive X-ray imaging. Such strategy provides a promising way to develop the novel smart photonic materials with excellent scintillator performances.

Abstract
Luminescence nanothermometers have garnered considerable attention due to their noncontact measurement, high spatial resolution, and rapid response. However, many nanothermometers employing single-mode measurement encounter challenges regarding their relative sensitivity. Herein, a unique class of tunable upconversion (UC) and downshifting (DS) luminescence covering the visible to near-infrared range (400-1700 nm) is reported, characterized by the superior Tm3+, Ho3+, and Er3+ emissions induced by efficient energy transfer. The outstanding negative thermal expansion characteristic of ScF3 nanocrystals has been found to guide excitation energy toward the relevant emitting states in the Yb3+-Ho3+-Tm3+-codoped system, consequently resulting in remarkable near-infrared III (NIR-III) luminescence at ∼1625 nm (Tm3+:3F4 → 3H6 transition), which in turn presents numerous opportunities for designing multimode ratiometric luminescence thermometry. Furthermore, by facilitating phonon-assisted energy transfer in Er3+-Ho3+-codoped systems, the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) of 4I13/2 of Er3+ and 5I6 of Ho3+ in ScF3:Yb3+/Ho3+/Er3+ exhibits a strong temperature dependence, enabling NIR-II/III luminescence thermometry with superior thermal sensitivity and resolution (Sr = 0.78% K-1, δT = 0.64 K). These findings not only underscore the distinctive and ubiquitous attributes of lanthanide ion-doped nanomaterials but also hold significant implications for crafting luminescence thermometers with unparalleled sensitivity.

Abstract
From engineering improved device performance to unraveling the breakdown of classical heat transfer laws, far-field optical temperature mapping with nanoscale spatial resolution would benefit diverse areas. However, these attributes are traditionally in opposition because conventional far-field optical temperature mapping techniques are inherently diffraction limited. Optical super-resolution imaging techniques revolutionized biological imaging, but such approaches have yet to be applied to thermometry. Here, we demonstrate a super-resolution nanothermometry technique based on highly doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) that enable stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolution imaging. We identify a ratiometric thermometry signal and maintain imaging resolution better than ~120 nm for the relevant spectral bands. We also form self-assembled UCNP monolayers and multilayers and implement a detection scheme with scan times >0.25 μm2/min. We further show that STED nanothermometry reveals a temperature gradient across a joule-heated microstructure that is undetectable with diffraction limited thermometry, indicating the potential of this technique to uncover local temperature variation in wide-ranging practical applications.

Abstract
Accurate determination of the temperature dynamics at the electrode surface is crucial for advancing electrocatalysis, particularly in the development of stable materials that aid energy conversion and storage technologies. Here, lanthanide-based in situ luminescence thermometry was used to probe local heat effects at the platinum electrode surface during alkaline water electrolysis. It is demonstrated that the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) induces a more significant temperature increase compared to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under the same electrochemical conditions. This difference is attributed to variations in overpotential heating and local effects on Joule heating. Furthermore, local heat effects are not observed at increased electrolyte concentrations during the HER, whereas substantial temperature variations (up to 2 K) are detected for the OER at higher electrolyte concentrations. Our observations highlight the potential of in situ luminescence thermometry to measure interfacial temperature effects during electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Being first proposed as a method to overcome limitations associated with conventional contact thermometers, luminescence thermometry has been extensively studied over the past two decades as a sensitive and fast approach to remote and minimally invasive thermal sensing. Herein, lanthanide (Ln)-doped nanoparticles (Ln-NPs) have been identified as particularly promising candidates, given their outstanding optical properties. Known primarily for their upconversion emission, Ln-NPs have also been recognized for their ability to be excited with and emit in the near-infrared (NIR) regions matching the NIR transparency windows. This sparked the emergence of the development of NIR-NIR Ln-NPs for a wide range of temperature-sensing applications. The shift to longer excitation and emission wavelengths resulted in increased efforts being put into developing nanothermometers for biomedical applications, however most research is still preclinical. This mini-review outlines and addresses the challenges that limit the reliability and implementation of luminescent nanothermometers to real-life applications. Through a critical look into the recent developments from the past 4 years, we highlight attempts to overcome some of the limitations associated with excitation wavelength, thermal sensitivity, calibration, as well as light-matter interactions. Strategies range from use of longer excitation wavelengths, brighter emitters through strategic core/multi-shell architectures, exploitation of host phonons, and a shift from double- to single-band ratiometric as well as lifetime-based approaches to innovative methods based on computation and machine learning. To conclude, we offer a perspective on remaining gaps and where efforts should be focused towards more robust nanothermometers allowing a shift to real-life, e.g., in vivo, applications.

Abstract
Thermal characteristics are essential for improving the performance and monitoring the status of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it is a challenge to design efficient and facile sensing materials for the detection of the in situ temperature of a working LIB. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence optical fiber is developed and real-time temperature monitoring is performed with a measurement accuracy of 0.12 °C, and the feasibility based on this polymer optical fiber composed of NaLaTi2O6:Yb/Er phosphors is verified in a pouch-type battery. During the charging and discharging cycles, the in situ temperature is instantaneously conveyed, revealing the internal situation of LIBs. This article further dwells on the thermal characteristics in constant current (CC)/constant voltage charging and CC discharging processes at different C-rates and the battery failure when operated at low temperatures (0 °C). This work demonstrates an innovative strategy for operando solitary temperature monitoring conducted by ratiometric fluorescence optical fiber.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the synthesis and investigation of new hybrid multifunctional iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) coated by coumarin-bound copolymer, which combine magneto- or photothermal heating with luminescent thermometry. A series of amphiphilic block copolymers, including Coum-C11-PPhOx27-PMOx59 and Coum-C11-PButOx8-PMOx42 bearing luminescent and photodimerizable coumarin moiety, as well as coumarin-free PPhOx27-PMOx57, were evaluated for their utility as luminescent thermometers and for encapsulating spherical 26 nm IONPs. The obtained IONP@Coum-C11-PPhOx27-PMOx59 nano-objects are perfectly dispersible in water and able to provide macroscopic heating remotely triggered by an alternating current magnetic field (AMF) with a specific absorption rate (SAR) value of 240 W.g-1 or laser irradiation with a photothermal conversion efficiency of η = 68%. On the other hand, they exhibit temperature-dependent emission of coumarin offering the function of luminescent thermometer, which operates in the visible region between 20 °C and 60 °C in water displaying a maximal relative thermal sensitivity (Sr) of 1.53%·°C-1 at 60 °C.

Abstract
Room temperature phosphorescence materials have garnered significant attention due to their unique optical properties and promising applications. However, it remains a great challenge to finely manipulate phosphorescent properties to achieve desirable phosphorescent performance on demand. Here, we show a feasible strategy to finely manipulate organic phosphorescent performance by introducing dynamic lanthanide coordination. The organic phosphors of terpyridine phenylboronic acids possessing excellent coordination ability are covalently embedded into a polyvinyl alcohol matrix, leading to ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence with a lifetime of up to 0.629 s. Notably, such phosphorescent performance, including intensity and lifetime, can be well controlled by varying the lanthanide dopant. Relying on the excellent modulable performance of these lanthanide-manipulated phosphorescence films, multi-level information encryption including attacker-misleading and spatial-time-resolved applications is successfully demonstrated with greatly improved security level. This work opens an avenue for finely manipulating phosphorescent properties to meet versatile uses in optical applications.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides, including WSe2, have gained significant attention as promising nanomaterials for various applications due to their unique properties. In this study, we explore the temperature-dependent photoluminescent properties of WSe2 nanomaterials to investigate their potential as luminescent nanothermometers. We compare the performance of WSe2 quantum dots and nanorods synthesized using sonication synthesis and hot injection methods. Our results show a distinct temperature dependence of the photoluminescence, and conventional ratiometric luminescence thermometry demonstrates comparable relative thermal sensitivity (0.68-0.80% K-1) and temperature uncertainty (1.3-1.5 K), irrespective of the morphology of the nanomaterials. By applying multiple linear regression to WSe2 quantum dots, we achieve enhanced thermal sensitivity (30% K-1) and reduced temperature uncertainty (0.1 K), highlighting the potential of WSe2 as a versatile nanothermometer for microfluidics, nanofluidics, and biomedical assays.

Abstract
Temperature measurements with high spatial resolution and accuracy can provide crucial data for understanding the changing process of microregion. Non-contact ratiometric fluorescence thermometers have received widespread attention for their sensitivity and interference resistibility. However, polymer and organic dye thermometers with such ratiometric fluorescence are very rare, and their applicability and processability are limited. In this study, novel tridurylboron compounds PPB1, PPB2, and PPB3 are designed and synthesized. They exhibit significant temperature responsive ratiometric fluorescence when dispersed in thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU). With a self-referencing feature and protection of TPU solid polymer, such fluorescence thermometers possess strong interference resistibility. From -10° to 60 °C, the fluorescence peak of PPB1-TPU system redshifted by 41 nm, the fluorescence color changes from blue to green. For the fluorescence ratiometric temperature measurement procedure, the absolute sensitivity is 14.5% °C-1 (40 °C) and relative sensitivity is 6.3% °C-1 (35 °C), which is much higher than reported solid polymer fluorescence thermometers. The temperature-responsive ranges can be adjusted by altering the types of polymer substrate and the number of the substituents. Such tridurylboron-TPU polymer fluorescence thermometers can be applied in aqueous environment and processed into devices of various shapes and sizes, demonstrating great potential for application.

Abstract
Remote thermal sensing has emerged as a temperature detection technique for tasks in which standard contact thermometers cannot be used due to environment or dimension limitations. One of such challenging tasks is the measurement of temperature in microelectronics. Here, optical thermometry using co-doped and mixed dual-center Gd2O3:Tb3+/Eu3+samples were realized. Ratiometric approach based on monitoring emission intensities of Tb3+(5D4-7F5) and Eu3+(5D0-7F2) transition provided sensing in the range of 30 °C-80 °C. Dispersion system type only slightly affected relative sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The applicability of phosphors synthesized to be utilized as remote optical thermometers for microelectronics has been proved with an example on a surface mount resistor and microcontroller.

Abstract
Constructing a phosphor with multifunctional applications is an imperative challenge. Especially, highly thermostable luminescence of phosphor is indispensable for stable white-light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Nevertheless, good thermal quenching resistance behavior is unfavorable for a fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR)-based optical temperature sensor. Herein, a highly thermostable Ba3(ZnB5O10)PO4 (BZBP)-based phosphor is successfully achieved via replacing Ba2+ with Dy3+, demonstrating simultaneously promising lighting and thermometry utilizations. Under the excitation of 350 nm, the title phosphor only loses 12% of the initial intensity when the temperature is up to 473 K, ensuring sufficient luminescence thermostability for white-LED lighting. The white-LED device fabricated using the title phosphor emits high-quality white light with a high color rendering index (Ra = 93) and low correlated color temperature (CCT = 3996 K). Meanwhile, the yellow and blue emission intensities demonstrate a downtrend difference with rising temperature. Temperature sensing properties are assessed through FIR technology. The maximal relative sensitivity reaches as high as 0.0379 K-1 at 298 K. These results reveal that the title phosphor has a great potential for indoor lighting and thermometry applications.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic, and luminescence measurements of a novel family of luminescent cage-like tetranuclear silsesquioxanes (PhSiO1.5)8(LnO1.5)4(O)(C5H8O2)6(EtOH)2(CH3CN)2⋅2CH3CN (where Ln = Tb, 1; Tb/Eu, 2; and Gd, 3), featuring seven-coordinated lanthanide ions arranged in a one-capped trigonal prism geometry. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit characteristic Tb3+ and Tb3+/Eu3+-related emissions, respectively, sensitized by the chelating antenna acetylacetonate (acac) ligands upon excitation in the UV and visible spectral regions. Compound 3 is used to assess the energies of the triplet states of the acac ligand. For compound 1, theoretical calculations on the intramolecular energy transfer and multiphonon rates indicate a thermal balance between the 5D4 Stark components, while the mixed Tb3+/Eu3+ analog 2, with a Tb:Eu ratio of 3:1, showcases intra-cluster Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer, calculated theoretically as a function of temperature. By utilizing the intensity ratio between the 5D4→7F5 (Tb3+) and 5D0→7F2 (Eu3+) transitions in the range 11-373 K, we demonstrate the realization of a ratiometric luminescent thermometer with compound 2, operating in the range 11-373 K with a maximum relative sensitivity of 2.0% K-1 at 373 K. These findings highlight the potential of cage-like silsesquioxanes as versatile materials for optical sensing-enabled applications.

Abstract
We investigate the intricate relationship among temperature, pH, and Brownian velocity in a range of differently sized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) dispersed in water. These UCNPs, acting as nanorulers, offer insights into assessing the relative proportion of high-density and low-density liquid in the surrounding hydration water. The study reveals a size-dependent reduction in the onset temperature of liquid-water fluctuations, indicating an augmented presence of high-density liquid domains at the nanoparticle surfaces. The observed upper-temperature threshold is consistent with a hypothetical phase diagram of water, validating the two-state model. Moreover, an increase in pH disrupts the organization of water molecules, similar to external pressure effects, allowing simulation of the effects of temperature and pressure on hydrogen bonding networks. The findings underscore the significance of the surface of suspended nanoparticles for understanding high- to low-density liquid fluctuations and water behavior at charged interfaces.

Abstract
Luminescent nanothermometry, particularly the one based on ratiometric, has sparked intense research for non-invasive in vivo or intracellular temperature mapping, empowering their uses as diagnosis tools in biomedicine. However, ratiometric detection still suffers from biased sensing induced by wavelength-dependent tissue absorption and scattering, low thermal sensitivity (Sr ), and lack of imaging depth information. Herein, this work constructs an ultrasensitive NIR-II ratiometric nanothermometer with self-calibrating ability for 3D in vivo thermographic imaging, in which temperature-insensitive lanthanide nanocrystals and strongly temperature-quenched Ag2 S quantum dots are co-assembled to form a hybrid nanocomposite material. Precise control over the amount ratio between two sub-materials enables the manipulation of heat-activated back energy transfer from Ag2 S to Yb3+ in lanthanide nanoparticles, thereby rendering Sr up to 7.8% °C-1 at 43.5 °C, and higher than 6.5% °C-1 over the entire physiological temperature range. Moreover, the luminescence intensity ratio between two separated spectral regions within the narrow Yb3+ emission peak is used to determine the depth information of nanothermometers in living mice and correct the effect of tissue depth on 2D thermographic imaging, and therefore allows a proof-of-concept demonstration of accurate 3D in vivo thermographic imaging, constituting a solid step toward the development of advanced ratiometric nanothermometry for biological applications.

Inorg Chem Front 2024; 11:1366-1380.

Abstract
Multifunctional optical materials can be realized by combining stimuli-responsive photoluminescence (PL), e.g., optical thermometry, with non-linear optical (NLO) effects, such as second-harmonic generation (SHG). We report a novel approach towards SHG-active luminescent thermometers achieved by constructing unique iridium(iii) complexes, cis-[IrIII(CN)2(R,R-pinppy)2]- (R,R-pinppy = (R,R)-2-phenyl-4,5-pinenopyridine), bearing both a chiral 2-phenylpyridine derivative and cyanido ligands, the latter enabling the formation of a series of molecular materials: (TBA)[IrIII(CN)2(R,R-pinppy)2]·2MeCN (1) (TBA+ = tetrabutylammonium) and (nBu-DABCO)2[IrIII(CN)2(R,R-pinppy)2](i)·MeCN (2) (nBu-DABCO+ = 1-(n-butyl)-1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]octan-1-ium) hybrid salts, (TBA)2{[LaIII(NO3)3(H2O)0.5]2[IrIII(CN)2(R,R-pinppy)2]2} (3) square molecules, and {[LaIII(NO3)2(dmf)3][IrIII(CN)2(R,R-pinppy)2]}·MeCN (4) coordination chains. Thanks to the chiral pinene group, 1-4 crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups leading to SHG activity, while the N,C-coordination of ppy-type ligands to Ir(iii) centers generates visible charge-transfer (CT) photoluminescence. The PL characteristics are distinctly temperature-dependent which was utilized in achieving ratiometric optical thermometry below 220 K. The PL phenomena were rationalized by DFT/TD-DFT calculations indicating an MLCT-type of the emission in obtained Ir(iii) complexes with the rich vibronic structure providing a few emission bands that variously depend on temperature due to the role of thermally activated vibrations. As these crucial vibrational modes depend on the crystal lattice, the thermometry performance differs within 1-4 being the most efficient in 4 while the SHG is by far the best also for 4. This proves that pinene-functionalized cyclometalated dicyanidoiridates(iii) are great prerequisites for tunable PL-NLO conjunction with the most effective multifunctionality ensured by the insertion of these anions into bimetallic frameworks.

Abstract
As the field of luminescence thermometry has matured, practical applications of luminescence thermometry techniques have grown in both frequency and scope. Due to the biocompatibility of most luminescent thermometers, many of these applications fall within the realm of biology. However, luminescence thermometry is increasingly employed beyond the biological realm, with expanding applications in areas such as thermal characterization of microelectronics, catalysis, and plasmonics. Here, we review the motivations, methodologies, and advances linked to nonbiological applications of luminescence thermometry. We begin with a brief overview of luminescence thermometry probes and techniques, focusing on those most commonly used for nonbiological applications. We then address measurement capabilities that are particularly relevant for these applications and provide a detailed survey of results across various application categories. Throughout the review, we highlight measurement challenges and requirements that are distinct from those of biological applications. Finally, we discuss emerging areas and future directions that present opportunities for continued research.

Abstract
This work reports the structural characterization and photophysical properties of DyIII, TbIII, and EuIII coordination polymers with two phenoxo-triazole-based ligands [2,6-di(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl-methyl)-4-R-phenoxo, LRTr (R = CH3; Cl)]. These ligands permitted us to obtain isostructural polymers, described as a 1D double chain, with LnIII being nona-coordinated. The energies of the ligand triplet (T1) states were estimated using low-temperature time-resolved emission spectra of YIII analogues. Compounds with LClTr present higher emission intensity than those with LMeTr. The emission of TbIII compounds was not affected by the different excitation wavelengths used and was emitted in the pure green region. In contrast, DyLMeTr emits in the blue-to-white region, while the luminescence of DyLClTr remains in the white region for all excitation wavelengths. On the other hand, EuIII compounds emit in the blue (ligand) or red region (EuIII) depending on the substituent of the phenoxo moiety and excitation wavelength. Theoretical calculations were employed to determine the excited states of the ligands by using time-dependent density functional theory. These calculations aided in modeling the intramolecular energy transfer and rationalizing the optical properties and demonstrated that the sensitization of the LnIII ions is driven via S1 → LnIII, a process that is less common as compared to T1 → LnIII.

Abstract
Luminescence thermometry has emerged as a very versatile optical technique for remote temperature measurements, exhibiting a wide range of applicability spanning from cryogenic temperatures to 2000 K. This technology has found extensive utilization across many disciplines. In the last thirty years, there has been significant growth in the field of luminous thermometry. This growth has been accompanied by the development of temperature read-out procedures, the creation of luminescent materials for very sensitive temperature probes, and advancements in theoretical understanding. This review article primarily centers on luminescent nanoparticles employed in the field of luminescence thermometry. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the recent literature pertaining to the utilization of lanthanide and transition metal nanophosphors, semiconductor quantum dots, polymer nanoparticles, carbon dots, and nanodiamonds for luminescence thermometry.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to optical temperature sensing, and how to improve its accuracy is the most important issue. Herein, a new temperature sensing material, SrGd2Al2O7:Bi3+,Mn4+, based on fluorescence intensity ratio was designed in this work. It has both blue-purple and red luminescence under 300 nm excitation, and the dual-emitting centers with distinct colors, the different thermal sensitivities of Bi3+ and Mn4+, and the energy transfer between Bi3+ and Mn4+ give it excellent signal resolution and accurate temperature detection. The Sa of SrGd2Al2O7:0.04Bi3+,0.003Mn4+ phosphor reaches a maximum value of 8.573% K-1 at 473 K, and the corresponding Sr is 1.927% K-1, both of which are significantly better than those of most other reported optical temperature sensing materials. Taking all the results into account, the SrGd2Al2O7:0.04Bi3+,0.003Mn4+ phosphor can be regarded as a prominent FIR-type temperature sensing material.

Abstract
Remote temperature probing at the cryogenic range is of utmost importance for the advancement of future quantum technologies. Despite the notable achievements in luminescent thermometers, accurately measuring temperatures below 10 K remains a challenging endeavor. In this study, we propose a novel magneto-optical thermometric approach based on the magnetic-circular dichroism (MCD) technique, which offers unprecedented capabilities for meticulous temperature variation analysis at cryogenic temperatures. The inherent temperature sensitivity of the MCD C-term, in conjunction with both positive and negative signals, enables highly sensitive magneto-optical temperature probing. Additionally, a groundbreaking relative thermal sensitivity value of 95.3 % K-1 at 2.54 K can be achieved using a mononuclear lanthanide complex, [[Ho(acac)3 (phen)], in the presence of a 0.25 T applied magnetic field and using a combination of multiparametric thermal read-out with multiple regression. These results unequivocally demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of our methodology for cryogenic temperature sensing.
