Abstract

The self-assembly mechanism of porous materials has always been a hot topic and a challenging issue in research. What factors induce the self-assembly process, and how is the temperature sensing performance related to it? Innovatively, in this paper, Gd2O2S:Er3+/Yb3+ phosphors with different morphologies were synthesized, and elucidated the formation mechanism of flower-like structures through relevant theorems, formulas, and experiments, proposing that polar molecules and dipole-dipole interactions guide the synergistic effect of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding, which ultimately induces the self-assembly of spherical structures into flower-like ones. In addition, four representative intermediates were selected to investigate their luminescence and temperature sensing properties. The results show that the flower-like sample can respond more effectively to changes in ambient temperature because of its rich pore structures, and thus exhibit better temperature sensing performance. In-depth research on the self-assembly mechanism of materials helps to predict and regulate their properties, and the unique characteristics of flower-like sample provide new ideas for material selection in the field of high-precision temperature measurement.
