Abstract

A strategy of optical temperature sensing was developed by using various thermal quenching of Mn4+ and Eu3+ for double perovskite tellurite phosphor in optical thermometers. Herein, SrGdLiTeO6 (SGLT): Mn4+,Eu3+ phosphors were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The temperature-dependent emission spectra indicated that two distinguishable emission peaks originated from Eu3+ and Mn4+ exhibited significantly diverse temperature responses. Therefore, optical thermometers with a dual-mode mechanism were designed by employing a fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of Mn4+ (2Eg→4A2g) and Eu3+ (5D0→7F1,2) and the decay lifetime of Mn4+ as the temperature readouts. The temperature sensing of the phosphors ranging from 300 to 550 K were studied. The maximum relative sensitivities (Sr) are obtained as 4.9% K-1 at 550 K. Meanwhile, the 695 nm emission of Mn4+ possessed a temperature-dependent decay lifetime with Sr of 0.229% K-1 at 573 K. Relevant results demonstrate the SrGdLiTeO6:Mn4+, Eu3+ phosphor as an optical thermometer candidate and also provide constructive suggestions and guidance for constructing high-sensitivity dual-mode optical thermometers.
