Abstract
The use of lanthanide luminescence has advanced the field of remote temperature sensing. Luminescence intensity ratio methods relying on emission from two thermally coupled energy levels are popular but suffer from a limited temperature range. Here, we present a versatile luminescent thermometer: Ba(Sr)FBr(Cl):Sm2+. The Sm2+ ion benefits from multiple thermally coupled excited states to extend the temperature range and has strong parity-allowed 4f6→4f55d1 absorption to increase brightness. We conduct a comparative analysis of the temperature sensing performance of Sm2+ in BaFBr, BaFCl, SrFBr, and SrFCl and address the role of concentration, host, and Boltzmann equilibration. Different thermal coupling schemes, 5D1-5D0 and 4f55d1-5D0, and temperature-dependent lifetimes enable accurate sensing between 350 and 800 kelvin. Differences in 4f55d1-5D0 energy gap allows optimization for a temperature range of interest. This type of Sm2+-based thermometer holds great potential for temperature monitoring in the wide and relevant range up to 500°C.

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
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
Luminescent materials that display quick spectral responses to thermal stimuli have attracted pervasive attention in sensing technologies. Herein, a programmable luminescence color switching in lanthanide-doped LiYO2 under thermal stimuli, based on deliberate control of the monoclinic (β) to tetragonal (α) phase transition in the crystal lattice, is reported. Specifically, a lanthanide-doping (Ln3+ ) approach to fine-tune the phase-transition temperature in a wide range from 294 to 359 K is developed. Accordingly, an array of Ln3+ -doped LiYO2 crystals that exhibit progressive phase transition, and thus sequential color switching at gradually increasing temperatures, is constructed. The tunable optical response to thermal stimuli is harnessed for colorimetric temperature indication and quantitative detection, demonstrating superior sensitivity and temperature resolution (Sr = 26.1% K-1 , δT = 0.008 K). The advances in controlling the phase-transition behavior of luminescent materials also offer exciting opportunities for high-performance personalized health monitoring.

Abstract
The ongoing development of ratiometric optical thermometry is mainly trapped in thermally coupled levels of rare-earth ions and inefficient ultraviolet excitation. Herein, a new-type multiple sharp line emitting, blue light-excited K2NaInF6:Mn4+, Eu3+ fluoride phosphor has been reported as a ratiometric thermometer. The f-f transition of Eu3+ paves a steady reference to a highly temperature sensitive Mn4+d-d transition and enables high relative sensitivity of 1.65% K-1 at 573 K. An optical fiber thermometry on a household oven with a relative standard deviation of 0.11% surpasses the standard of precision measurement, showing great potential in practical application. This discovery offers a highly sensitive neotype blue light-excitable ratiometric temperature sensor, that is Mn4+-doped fluoride, promoting practical applications of optical thermometry.

Abstract
Fluorescence thermometry has been propelled to the forefront of scientific attention due to its high spatial resolution and remote non-invasive detection. However, recent generations of thermometers still suffer from limited thermal sensitivity (Sr ) below 10% change per Kelvin. Herein, this work presents an ideal temperature-responsive fluorescence material through Te4+ -doped 0D Cs2 ScCl5 ·H2 O, in which isolated polyhedrons endow highly localized electronic structures, and the strong electron-phonon coupling facilitates the formation of self-trapped excitons (STEs). With rising temperature, the dramatic asymmetric expansion of the soft lattice induces increased defects, strong exciton-phonon coupling, and low thermal activation energy, which evokes a rapid de-trapping process of STEs, enabling several orders of magnitude changes in the fluorescence lifetime over a narrow temperature range. After regulating the de-trapping process with different Te4+ doping, a record-high Sr (27.36% K-1 ) of fluorescence lifetime-based detection is achieved at 325 K. The robust stability against multiple heating/cooling cycles and long-term measurements enables a low temperature uncertainty of 0.067 K. Further, the developed thermometers are demonstrated for the remote local monitoring of operating temperature on internal electronic components. It is believed that this work constitutes a solid step towards building the next generation of ultrasensitive thermometers based on low-dimensional metal halides.

Abstract
Non-contact temperature sensors with low cost, high reliability and high sensitivity have attracted increasing research interest in recent years. In this study, we synthesized a bimodal optical temperature sensor Sr2SiO4:Ce3+/Eu2+/K+ with excellent thermometric sensitivity through a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. In the matrix of α-Sr2SiO4, Ce3+ luminescence exhibits excellent thermal stability (∼129.1%@250 °C), while Eu2+ shows strong thermal quenching (∼21.7%@250 °C), leading to a significant change in the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of Ce3+ (437 nm) and Eu2+ (550 nm) as a function of temperature. This feature enables the phosphor exhibiting outstanding sensitivity in the temperature range of 298-523 K. To be exact, it demonstrates a maximal relative sensitivity of 0.93% K-1 at 348 K. Its absolute sensitivity linearly increases and reaches 3.46% K-1 at 523 K. Besides, it has a large chromaticity shift (ΔE = 228 × 10-3 in 298-523 K) against temperature, making the temperature change visible to the naked eye. We first demonstrate a CIE chromaticity coordinate technique for temperature sensing with high accuracy and good sensitivity by using the function of x or (x2 + y2)0.5 against T. These unique optical thermometric features allow Sr2SiO4:Ce3+/Eu2+/K+ to serve as an accurate and reliable thermometer probe candidate for temperature sensing applications.

Abstract
Development of novel ultraviolet (UV) upconversion materials has been emerging as a hot research topic for application in tunable UV lasers, photocatalysis, sterilization, tagging, and most recently luminescence thermometry. We readily synthesized a series of Ho3+/Gd3+ co-doped LiYO2 upconversion phosphors by a traditional high-temperature reaction. Under excitation from a blue ∼445 nm laser, LiYO2:Ho3+,Gd3+ polycrystalline powders yield intense sharp ultraviolet B (UVB) upconversion luminescence from Gd3+ 6Pj (j = 7/2, 5/2, 3/2) excited states. By means of steady and dynamic photoluminescence spectra, we systematically investigated the involved two-photon absorption upconversion as well as the accompanying energy transfer processes between Ho3+ and Gd3+ ions in the LiYO2 host lattice. Interestingly, the distinguishable UVB luminescence constituents from Gd3+ 6Pj excited states exhibit sensitive temperature dependence in a 353-673 K range. Shedding light on thermal equilibria between Gd3+ 6Pj UV-emitting levels, their luminescence intensity ratios follow Boltzmann statistics for the application of new luminescence thermometry. For the scheme of 6P7/2-6P3/2 thermally coupled levels, it works over a temperature range of 373-673 K with a maximum relative sensitivity (Sr) of about 1.07% K-1 at 373 K, and its 6P7/2-6P5/2 counterpart works over 353-533 K with a maximum Sr of about 0.83% K-1 at 353 K. Overall, our study provides a new pathway to develop UV upconversion materials, and promotes the application of Gd3+-related UV luminescence constituents in sensitive temperature sensing over a wide temperature range.

Abstract
Controlling and understanding reaction temperature variations in catalytic processes are crucial for assessing the performance of a catalyst material. Local temperature measurements are challenging, however. Luminescence thermometry is a promising remote-sensing tool, but it is cross-sensitive to the optical properties of a sample and other external parameters. In this work, we measure spatial variations in the local temperature on the micrometer length scale during carbon dioxide (CO2) methanation over a TiO2-supported Ni catalyst and link them to variations in catalytic performance. We extract local temperatures from the temperature-dependent emission of Y2O3:Nd3+ particles, which are mixed with the CO2 methanation catalyst. Scanning, where a near-infrared laser locally excites the emitting Nd3+ ions, produces a temperature map with a micrometer pixel size. We first designed the Y2O3:Nd3+ particles for optimal temperature precision and characterized cross-sensitivity of the measured signal to parameters other than temperature, such as light absorption by the blackened sample due to coke deposition at elevated temperatures. Introducing reaction gases causes a local temperature increase of the catalyst of on average 6-25 K, increasing with the reactor set temperature in the range of 550-640 K. Pixel-to-pixel variations in the temperature increase show a standard deviation of up to 1.5 K, which are attributed to local variations in the catalytic reaction rate. Mapping and understanding such temperature variations are crucial for the optimization of overall catalyst performance on the nano- and macroscopic scale.

Abstract
The growing demand for spectroscopy applications in the areas of bioimaging, food quality analysis, and temperature sensing has led to extensive research on infrared light sources. It is crucial for the design of cost-effective and high-performance systems that phosphors possess the ability to absorb blue light from commercial LEDs and convert the excitation energy to long-wavelength infrared luminescence. In this work, we obtained Yb3+ luminescence with visible light response by utilizing the energy transfer from Cr3+ to Yb3+ in Mg2GeO4. After the introduction of Yb3+, intense NIR luminescence peaking at 974 nm can be achieved with an increasing intensity. The local structure analysis was performed to investigate the preferential occupation of Yb3+ ions and the energy transfer process in Mg2GeO4. Considering the properties of thermally coupled anti-Stokes and Stokes emissions of Yb3+ and the sensitive variation of the emission intensity, the potential application of Mg2GeO4:Cr3+, Yb3+ as thermometers was demonstrated.

Abstract
Luminescence (nano)thermometry is a remote sensing technique that relies on the temperature dependency of the luminescence features (e.g., bandshape, peak energy or intensity, and excited state lifetimes and risetimes) of a phosphor to measure temperature. This technique provides precise thermal readouts with superior spatial resolution in short acquisition times. Although luminescence thermometry is just starting to become a more mature subject, it exhibits enormous potential in several areas, e.g., optoelectronics, photonics, micro- and nanofluidics, and nanomedicine. This work reviews the latest trends in the field, including the establishment of a comprehensive theoretical background and standardized practices. The reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility of the technique are also discussed, along with the use of multiparametric analysis and artificial-intelligence algorithms to enhance thermal readouts. In addition, examples are provided to underscore the challenges that luminescence thermometry faces, alongside the need for a continuous search and design of new materials, experimental techniques, and analysis procedures to improve the competitiveness, accessibility, and popularity of the technology.

Abstract
Thermal quenching (TQ) is still a critical challenge for lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped luminescent materials. Herein, we report the novel negative thermal expansion nonhygroscopic phosphor ZrSc(WO4)2PO4:Yb3+/Er3+. Upon excitation with a 980 nm laser, a simultaneous thermal enhancement is realized on upconversion (UC) and downshifting (DS) emissions from room temperature to 573 K. In situ temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence dynamics are used to reveal the luminescence mechanism in detail. The coexistence of the high energy transfer efficiency and the promoted radiative transition probability can be responsible for the thermally enhanced luminescence. On the basis of the luminescence intensity ratio of thermally coupled energy levels 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 at different temperatures, the relative and absolute sensitivities of the targeted samples reach 1.10% K-1 and 1.21% K-1, respectively, and the low-temperature uncertainty is approximately 0.1-0.4 K on the whole temperature with a high repeatability (98%). Our findings highlight a general approach for designing a hygro-stable, thermostable, and highly efficient Ln3+-doped phosphor with UC and DS luminescence.

Abstract
Ratiometric luminescence thermometry based on trivalent erbium ions is a noninvasive remote sensing technique with high spatial and temporal resolution. The thermal coupling between two adjacent energy levels follows the Boltzmann statistics, whose effective range is related to the energy gap between the multi-excited states. However, the limitations of different thermally coupled levels (TCLs) in Er-based thermometers are rarely mentioned. Here, a type of targeted high-precision luminescence thermometer was designed using a lead-free double perovskite platform by selecting multiple TCLs of the Er3+ ion. According to the selection of different TCLs in a single system platform, more precise temperature resolution can be obtained in different temperature regions from 100 K to almost 880 K. This work provides a quantitative guideline that may pave the way for the development of the next generation of temperature sensor based on trivalent erbium ions.

Abstract
Herein, we investigate the performance of single- and multiparametric luminescence thermometry founded on the temperature-dependent spectral features of Ca6BaP4O17:Mn5+ near-infrared emission. The material was prepared by a conventional steady-state synthesis, and its photoluminescence emission was measured from 7500 to 10,000 cm-1 over the 293-373 K temperature range in 5 K increments. The spectra are composed of the emissions from 1E → 3A2 and 3T2 → 3A2 electronic transitions and Stokes and anti-Stokes vibronic sidebands at 320 cm-1 and 800 cm-1 from the maximum of 1E → 3A2 emission. Upon temperature increase, the 3T2 and Stokes bands gained in intensity while the maximum of 1E emission band is redshifted. We introduced the procedure for the linearization and feature scaling of input variables for linear multiparametric regression. Then, we experimentally determined accuracies and precisions of the luminescence thermometry based on luminescence intensity ratios between emissions from the 1E and 3T2 states, between Stokes and anti-Stokes emission sidebands, and at the 1E energy maximum. The multiparametric luminescence thermometry involving the same spectral features showed similar performance, comparable to the best single-parameter thermometry.

Abstract
Nanomaterials-based photoluminescence thermometry (PLT) is a new contact-free photonic approach for temperature sensing, important for applications ranging from quantum technology to biomedical imaging and diagnostics. Even though numerous new materials have been explored, great challenges and deficiencies remain that hamper many applications. In contrast to most of the existing approaches that use large ensembles of rare-earth-doped nanomaterials with large volumes and unavoidable inhomogeneity, we demonstrate the ultimate size reduction and simplicity of PLT by using only a single erbium-chloride-silicate (ECS) nanowire. Importantly, we propose and demonstrate a novel strategy that contains a self-optimization or "smart" procedure to automatically identify the best PL intensity ratio for temperature sensing. The automated procedure is used to self-optimize key sensing metrics, such as sensitivity, precision, or resolution to achieve an all-around superior PLT including several record-setting metrics including the first sensitivity exceeding 100% K-1 (~138% K-1), the highest resolution of 0.01 K, and the largest range of sensible temperatures 4-500 K operating completely within 1500-1800 nm (an important biological window). The high-quality ECS nanowire enables the use of well-resolved Stark-sublevels to construct a series of PL intensity ratios for optimization in infrared, allowing the completely Boltzmann-based sensing at cryogenic temperature for the first time. Our single-nanowire PLT and the proposed optimization strategy overcome many existing challenges and could fundamentally impact PL nano-thermometry and related applications such as single-cell thermometry.

Abstract
Ratiometric luminescence thermometry (RLT) has attracted considerable attention for its non-invasive, fast response, and strong electromagnetic interference resistance; however, improving relative sensitivity (SR) is of great significance. Herein, we propose a design principle to promote SR by linearly superposing the energy gaps of thermally coupled levels (TCLs) subordinated to luminescence centers. A new fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR') is derived from multiplying the previous FIRs of multi-pair TCLs. Then, a new SR' is significantly enhanced and proves to be the sum of the original SR values. The feasibility of this approach is proclaimed by applying to several materials [Na0.5La0.5TiO3:Yb/Nd, Y2O3:Yb/Er, and (LiMg)2Mo3O12:Yb/Er] with improved SR for RLT. Finally, a flexible film is fabricated for temperature measurement of actual scenes and manifests the superiority of the energy gap linear superposition method as ratiometric thermometry.

Abstract
Among luminescent nanostructures actively investigated in the last couple of decades, rare earth (RE3+) doped nanoparticles (RENPs) are some of the most reported family of materials. The development of RENPs in the biomedical framework is quickly making its transition to the ∼800 nm excitation pathway, beneficial for both in vitro and in vivo applications to eliminate heating and facilitate higher penetration in tissues. Therefore, reports and investigations on RENPs containing the neodymium ion (Nd3+) greatly increased in number as the focus on ∼800 nm radiation absorbing Nd3+ ion gained traction. In this review, we cover the basics behind the RE3+ luminescence, the most successful Nd3+-RENP architectures, and highlight application areas. Nd3+-RENPs, particularly Nd3+-sensitized RENPs, have been scrutinized by considering the division between their upconversion and downshifting emissions. Aside from their distinctive optical properties, significant attention is paid to the diverse applications of Nd3+-RENPs, notwithstanding the pitfalls that are still to be addressed. Overall, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on Nd3+-RENPs, discussing their developmental and applicative successes as well as challenges. We also assess future research pathways and foreseeable obstacles ahead, in a field, which we believe will continue witnessing an effervescent progress in the years to come.

Abstract
We present an extensive study of the luminescence characteristics of Mn impurity ions in a YAl3(BO3)4:Mn crystal, in combination with X-ray fluorescence analysis and determination of the valence state of Mn by XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) spectroscopy. The valences of manganese Mn2+(d5) and Mn3+(d4) were determined by the XANES and high-resolution optical spectroscopy methods shown to be complementary. We observe the R1 and R2 luminescence and absorption lines characteristic of the 2E ↔ 4A2 transitions in d3 ions (such as Mn4+ and Cr3+) and show that they arise due to uncontrolled admixture of Cr3+ ions. A broad luminescent band in the green part of the spectrum is attributed to transitions in Mn2+. Narrow zero-phonon infrared luminescence lines near 1060 nm (9400 cm−1) and 760 nm (13,160 cm−1) are associated with spin-forbidden transitions in Mn3+: 1T2 → 3T1 (between excited triplets) and 1T2 → 5E (to the ground state). Spin-allowed 5T2 → 5E Mn3+ transitions show up as a broad band in the orange region of the spectrum. Using the data of optical spectroscopy and Tanabe−Sugano diagrams we estimated the crystal-field parameter Dq and Racah parameter B for Mn3+ in YAB:Mn as Dq = 1785 cm−1 and B = 800 cm−1. Our work can serve as a basis for further study of YAB:Mn for the purposes of luminescent thermometry, as well as other applications.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:7997. [PMID: 36298348 PMCID: PMC9608218 DOI: 10.3390/s22207997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The sensitivity of luminescence thermometry is enhanced at high temperatures when using a three-level luminescence intensity ratio approach with Dy3+- activated yttrium aluminum perovskite. This material was synthesized via the Pechini method, and the structure was verified using X-ray diffraction analysis. The average crystallite size was calculated to be around 46 nm. The morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy, which showed agglomerates composed of densely packed, elongated spherical particles, the majority of which were 80-100 nm in size. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence emission spectra (ex = 353 nm, 300-850 K) included Dy3+ emissions in blue (458 nm), blue (483 nm), and violet (430 nm, T 600 K). Luminescence intensity ratio, the most utilized temperature readout method in luminescent thermometry, was used as the testing method: a) using the intensity ratio of Dy3+ ions and 4I15/2→6H15/2/4F9/2→6H15/2 transitions; and b) employing the third, higher energy 4G11/2 thermalized level, i.e., using the intensity ratio of 4G11/2→6H15/2/4F9/2→6H15/2 transitions, thereby showing the relative sensitivities of 0.41% K-1 and 0.86% K-1 at 600 K, respectively. This more than doubles the increase in sensitivity and therefore demonstrates the method's usability at high temperatures, although the major limitation of the method is the chemical stability of the host material and the temperature at which the temperature quenching commences. Lastly, it must be noted that at 850 K, the emission intensities from the energetically higher levels were still increasing in YAP: Dy3+.

Abstract
Resolved hyperfine structure and narrow inhomogeneously broadened lines in the optical spectra of a rare-earth-doped crystal are favorable for the implementation of various sensors. Here, a well-resolved hyperfine structure in the photoluminescence spectra of LiYF4:Ho single crystals and the anticrossings of hyperfine levels in a magnetic field are demonstrated using a self-made setup based on a Bruker 125HR high-resolution Fourier spectrometer. This is the first observation of the resolved hyperfine structure and anticrossing hyperfine levels in the luminescence spectra of a crystal. The narrowest spectral linewidth is only 0.0022 cm-1. This fact together with a large value of the magnetic g factor of several crystal-field states creates prerequisites for developing magnetic field sensors, which can be in demand in modern quantum information technology devices operating at low temperatures. Very small random lattice strains characterizing the quality of a crystal can be detected using anticrossing points.

Abstract
Thermal resolution (also referred to as temperature uncertainty) establishes the minimum discernible temperature change sensed by luminescent thermometers and is a key figure of merit to rank them. Much has been done to minimize its value via probe optimization and correction of readout artifacts, but little effort was put into a better exploitation of calibration datasets. In this context, this work aims at providing a new perspective on the definition of luminescence-based thermometric parameters using dimensionality reduction techniques that emerged in the last years. The application of linear (Principal Component Analysis) and non-linear (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) transformations to the calibration datasets obtained from rare-earth nanoparticles and semiconductor nanocrystals resulted in an improvement in thermal resolution compared to the more classical intensity-based and ratiometric approaches. This, in turn, enabled precise monitoring of temperature changes smaller than 0.1 °C. The methods here presented allow choosing superior thermometric parameters compared to the more classical ones, pushing the performance of luminescent thermometers close to the experimentally achievable limits.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with hollow structures exhibit many fascinating optical properties due to their special morphology. However, there are few reports on the exploration of hollow UCNPs and their optical applications, mainly because of the difficulty in constructing hollow structures by conventional methods. Here, we report a one-step template-free method to synthesize NaBiF4:Yb,Er (NBFYE) hollow UCNPs via Ostwald ripening under solvothermal conditions. Moreover, we also elucidate the possible formation mechanism of hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) by studying the growth process of nanoparticles in detail. By changing the contents of polyacrylic acid and H2O in the reaction system, the central cavity size of NBFYE nanoparticles can be adjusted. Benefiting from the structural characteristics of large internal surface area and high surface permeability, NBFYE HNPs exhibit excellent luminescence properties under 980 nm near-infrared irradiation. Importantly, NBFYE hollow UCNPs can act as self-referenced ratiometric luminescent thermometers under 980 nm laser irradiation, which are effective over a wide temperature range from 223 K to 548 K and have a maximum sensitivity value of 0.0065 K-1 at 514 K. Our work clearly demonstrates a novel method for synthesizing HNPs and develops their applications, which provides a new idea for constructing hollow structure UCNPs and will also encourage researchers to further explore the optical applications of hollow UCNPs.
