Color-shifting Crystalline Colloidal Arrays from Polymers With Upper Critical Solution Temperature.

Crystalline colloidal arrays (CCAs) composed of core-shell microspheres with thermoresponsive structural iridescence governed by Bragg's law have garnered significant attention for diverse applications. While core-shell microspheres with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) properties are extensively studied, upper critical solution temperature (UCST) counterparts remain unexplored, offering the potential to expand the application scope of thermoresponsive CCAs. In this study, poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA), a UCST homopolymer, is employed for the first time to synthesize core-shell microspheres. By copolymerizing NAGA with the hydrophilic co-monomer acrylamide (AM) to form the shell, microspheres with soft shells capable of assembling into CCAs with bright iridescence are obtained. Owing to Bragg's law and the UCST properties of the shell, the diffraction wavelength of these CCAs depends on concentration, observation angle, and temperature. The CCAs exhibit thermoresponsive behavior, with a size transition temperature around 14°C. Upon heating, the shells swell, and the microspheres transition from a rigid to a soft state, leading to an increase in interparticle distance and enhanced stabilization of the ordered microsphere packing. This process results in a red shift and a significant increase in the intensity of the diffraction peak. The thermoresponsive properties of these CCAs highlight their potential as intelligent temperature-sensing materials.

Ca2HfSi4O12:Eu2+: A novel blue phosphor with excellent temperature sensitivity for temperature sensor and cathodoluminescence properties for field-emission displays

A new silicate blue phosphor Ca2HfSi4O12:Eu2+ (CHSO:Eu2+) was designed and synthesized via a solid-state reaction. The structure of CHSO:Eu2+ was analyzed by structure refinement. The electronic structure of CHSO was calculated using first-principles calculations, revealing its effect on luminescence and long-persistent properties. Owing to the O vacancies in the crystal structure, undoped CHSO showed wide blue emission (400–650 nm, λmax = 486 nm) under 296 nm excitation. After being irradiated with a UV lamp for 10 min, the CHSO sample showed obvious afterglow properties that could persist for approximately 50 min above the recognizable intensity level (≥0.32 mcd m−2). CHSO:Eu2+ exhibited excellent temperature sensitivity with a relative sensitivity of 4.5 % K−1@473K, which is higher than those of other Eu2+-based temperature sensor materials. The mechanism between thermal quenching and electronic structure was proposed. Moreover, CHSO:Eu2+ shows excellent cathode ray saturation and aging resistance. This study provides a potential temperature sensor, field-emission-display material, and theoretical reference for developing high-sensitivity temperature-sensing materials.

Multifunctional Near-Infrared Phosphors Cr3+/Ni2+ Codoped Mg3Ga2GeO8 Based on Energy Transfer from Cr3+ to Ni2.

Currently, near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting materials have been widely used in many fields, such as night vision, bioimaging, and nondestructive analysis. However, it is difficult to achieve multifunction in certain NIR light emitting phosphor. Herein, we propose a new near-infrared phosphor Mg3Ga2GeO8:Cr3+,Ni2+ that can be applied to at least three fields, i.e., identification of compounds, temperature sensing, anticounterfeiting, and other applications. The multifunctional material exhibited efficient broadband emission of 650-1650 nm under 420 nm excitation. The emission intensity of Ni2+ in Mg3Ga2GeO8:Cr3+,Ni2+ is enhanced by two times compared with that of Ni2+ in Mg3Ga2GeO8:Ni2+ due to the energy transfer process. Compared with phosphor single doped with Ni2+, Mg3Ga2GeO8:Cr3+,Ni2+ is more convincing in organic compound recognition because it is based on two emission bands: 600-1100 nm and 1100-1650 nm. As a temperature sensor, Mg3Ga2GeO8:Cr3+,Ni2+ is an ideal temperature-sensing material. This work not only provides a super broadband NIR emitting phosphor with multiple functions but also presents a practical approach for the development of high-efficiency and multifunctional NIR phosphors.

Highly stable lead-free perovskite glass for real-time 3D surface temperature measurement across the wide temperature range

3D Optical temperature sensors are highly valuable in various fields such as industry, medicine, and aerospace, as they allow for real-time detection of temperature distribution on surfaces. However, existing temperature sensor materials face challenges in achieving accurate detection across a wide range of temperatures from low to high. To overcome these issues, Cs2Zn1-xEuxBr4 perovskite B2O3–BaF2-Ga2O3 (BBG) borate glass was prepared for non-contact 3D optical temperature sensing. Cs2Zn1-xEuxBr4 perovskite B2O3–BaF2-Ga2O3 (BBG) borate glass improves the stability, thus expanding the temperature measurement range. Utilizing the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) method, based on the 613 nm (Eu3+: 5D0→7F2) and 592 nm (Eu3+: 5D0→7F1) emission bands, a FIR benchmark database was constructed for the entire temperature range from 10 K to 640 K. Temperature calculation equations related to FIR were derived, with a maximal relative sensitivity of 0.08 % K−1 at 180 K. The method for measuring the surface temperature of 3D curved aircraft is based on the rare earth perovskite borate glass. The temperature measured with this method is close to the thermal imaging temperature and has a good temperature measuring effect. The temperature measurement range is wider and more advantageous than previously reported ranges. These results indicate that Cs2Zn1-xEuxBr4-BBG perovskite borate glass temperature sensors have broad application prospects in many applications.

Na5Y9F32:Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+ up-conversion luminescent single crystals for highly sensitive optical temperature sensor

A novel non-contact optical temperature sensor with excellent performance of its adequate temperature resolution (δ(T) = 0.017 K) and exceptional relative thermal sensitivity (Sr = 1.97% K−1) was developed based on the up-conversion fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of Ho3+/Tm3+/Yb3+ triply incorporated Na5Y9F32 single crystal grown by Bridgman method. The up-conversion (UC) emission bands at 482 nm/669 nm/700 nm of Tm3+ and 522 nm/542 nm/653 nm of Ho3+ ions were observed upon excitation of 980 nm. The effects of Yb3+ concentration from 0.5 to 4 mol% on the UC emission of the Ho3+/ Tm3+ fixed doped Na5Y9F32 single crystal were also carried out. It has been demonstrated through the calculation of the steady-state rate equation that the intensity of UC emission is linearly heightened with the pump power, confirming the conversion mechanism. The temperature sensing performance of the Ho3+/Tm3+/Yb3+ incorporated Na5Y9F32 single crystals was explored by analyzing the FIR employing thermally coupled energy levels (TCLs) and non-thermally coupled energy levels (NTCLs). The maximum values of absolute sensitivity (Sa) and relative sensitivity (Sr) of the material are estimated to be 19.1% K−1 (323 K) and 1.97% K−1 (398 K), separately, which are far higher than those of previously reported RE3+-doped UC optical temperature sensor materials. This study shows that the transparent single crystal has the great potential as a non-contact optical thermometer, and provides a new idea for studying other highly optical sensing materials.

Integrated Temperature-Humidity Sensors for a Pouch-Type Battery Using 100% Printing Process.

The performance, stability, and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries are influenced by variations in the flow of lithium ions with temperature. In electric vehicles, coolants are generally used to maintain the optimal temperature of the battery, leading to an increasing demand for temperature and humidity sensors that can prevent leakage and short circuits. In this study, humidity and temperature sensors were fabricated on a pouch film of a pouch-type battery. IDE electrodes were screen-printed on the pouch film and humidity- and temperature-sensing materials were printed using a dispenser process. Changes in the capacitance of the printed Ag-CNF film were used for humidity sensing, while changes in the resistance of the printed PEDOT:PSS film were used for temperature sensing. The two sensors were integrated into a single electrode for performance evaluation. The integrated sensor exhibited a response of ΔR ≈ 0.14 to temperature variations from 20 °C to 100 °C with 20% RH humidity as a reference, and a response of ΔC ≈ 2.8 to relative humidity changes from 20% RH to 80% RH at 20 °C. The fabricated integrated sensor is expected to contribute to efficient temperature and humidity monitoring applications in various pouch-type lithium-ion batteries.

Inkjet-printed sub-zero temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of cold environments

Real-time monitoring of low temperatures (usually below 0 °C) or cold environments is a specific requirement that finds its high demand in the aerospace, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage industries to maintain the temperature at high altitudes or in refrigerators and cold storage. In general, this purpose is achieved by using a sub-zero temperature sensor coupled with a control system. However, the market available such temperature sensors are very expensive, and bulky, thus not being suitable for portable operation, and also they suffer from poor accuracy. Therefore, the development of high-performance, low-cost, lightweight, and portable sub-zero temperature sensors is highly desired. In our recent work, we developed such sensors and integrated them with auxiliary electronics to demonstrate their wireless operation for the continuous and real-time monitoring of cold environments. So, in order to obtain low-cost sensors a cost-effective inkjet printing technology was employed for the fabrication of devices. A lightweight polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used as the substrate and an electrically conducting graphene nanocomposite was used as the temperature-sensing material. To obtain a functional graphene nanocomposite film with a thickness of 530 nm and a conductivity of ~189 S m−1, the printed graphene nanocomposite was photonically sintered using a xenon flash lamp. This step was crucial for obtaining a sensor on the soft PDMS platform. The graphene nanocomposite film exhibited a positive temperature coefficient resistance value of approximately 0.119 %/°C, and its resistance values varied almost linearly (with an Adjusted R2 value (model accuracy) of 0.99) with temperature within the operating range of −30 °C to 80 °C. The sensor was properly encapsulated for protection without significantly affecting its performance. The sensors demonstrated sufficient flexibility, with a bending radius of 20 mm, and sustained 500 continuous bending cycles. Finally, the real-time operation of the sensors was demonstrated by wirelessly transmitting and monitoring the temperature over a smartphone platform.

Wearable Temperature Sensors Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide Films.

With the development of medical technology and increasing demands of healthcare monitoring, wearable temperature sensors have gained widespread attention because of their portability, flexibility, and capability of conducting real-time and continuous signal detection. To achieve excellent thermal sensitivity, high linearity, and a fast response time, the materials of sensors should be chosen carefully. Thus, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has become one of the most popular materials for temperature sensors due to its exceptional thermal conductivity and sensitive resistance changes in response to different temperatures. Moreover, by using the corresponding preparation methods, rGO can be easily combined with various substrates, which has led to it being extensively applied in the wearable field. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art advances in wearable temperature sensors based on rGO films and summarizes their sensing mechanisms, structure designs, functional material additions, manufacturing processes, and performances. Finally, the possible challenges and prospects of rGO-based wearable temperature sensors are briefly discussed.

Home Made Four-Point Probe: Case Studies of the Wobbly A and B Probes

A simulation on the effect of probe deviation on sheet resistivity value (Rs) of Cu/Ni thin film was carried out in a home-made four-point probe (HM-FPP) type. This began by solving the Rs formula for normal probes, and then for wobbly probe when it was either A, or both A and B. The formula was implemented on a thin layer of Cu/Ni, which was a low temperature sensor material obtained from electrodeposition for 60s assisted by a 200G magnetic field at a current density of 0.07A/mm2. An electric current of 0.20118A was flown from probe A to D in order to produce a potential difference between probe C and D of 0.0005 volts. Furthermore, the distance between the probes was 5 mm and the deviation of each probe A and B were simulated from -0.5 mm to 0.5 mm. The maximum allowable limit for the relative error of Rs or SRs is 5%. The results showed that the ideal Rs value was 0.113 ohm/sq. Furthermore, for HM-FPP in which the wobbly probe only A, there is no problem encountered with the variation of the deviation because all SRs are less than 5%. For wobbly probes A and B, if they are on the same side of the center point of each probe, the maximum allowable deviation is 0.3 mm. The SRs for this case were 4.6%. However, if they are on different sides of the center point of each probe, the maximum allowable deviation is 0.1 mm with SRs of 2.9%. With these results, HM-FPP craftsmen must be more careful in making the size of the probe hole.

Effect of temperature on the electrical and electromechanical properties of carbon nanotube/polypropylene composites

The effect of temperature on the electrical and electromechanical (piezoresistive) properties of composite films made of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polypropylene is investigated. The electrical response to temperature in alternating current (AC, i.e. thermoimpedance) showed higher sensitivity than in direct current (DC, thermoresistivity) and is influenced by frequency (f). The sensitivity factor in DC reached 1.07 %°C−1, while in AC at 100 Hz was 2.7 % C−1 for the impedance modulus for 4 wt.% MWCNT nanocomposites . The electrical properties of the nanocomposites in AC investigated through broadband dielectric spectroscopy exhibited a resistive-capacitive behavior with a transition at f ∼104 Hz. Temperature also showed a strong influence on the piezoresistive response of the nanocomposites, showing a 10% increase in the piezoresistive sensitivity at 50 °C with respect to the response at 25 °C, and an important decrease in sensitivity at 100 °C for small (<3%) strains. The influence of temperature on the electrical and electromechanical responses investigated herein may assist in further developments of smart temperature-sensing materials, and in developing thermal compensation factors to properly calibrate piezoresistive/piezoimpedance responses for strain measurements.

Halide Double Perovskite Nanocrystals Doped with Rare-Earth Ions for Multifunctional Applications.

Most lead-free halide double perovskite materials display low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) due to the indirect bandgap or forbidden transition. Doping is an effective strategy to tailor the optical properties of materials. Herein, efficient blue-emitting Sb3+ -doped Cs2 NaInCl6 nanocrystals (NCs) are selected as host, rare-earth (RE) ions (Sm3+ , Eu3+ , Tb3+ , and Dy3+ ) are incorporated into the host, and excellent PLQY of 80.1% is obtained. Femtosecond transient absorption measurement found that RE ions not only served as the activator ions but also filled the deep vacancy defects. Anti-counterfeiting, optical thermometry, and white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) are exhibited using these RE ions-doped halide double perovskite NCs. For the optical thermometry based on Sm3+ -doped Cs2 NaInCl6 :Sb3+ NCs, the maximum relative sensitivity is 0.753% K-1 , which is higher than those of most temperature-sensing materials. Moreover, the WLED fabricated by Sm3+ -doped Cs2 NaInCl6 :Sb3+ NCs@PMMA displays CIE color coordinates of (0.30, 0.28), a luminous efficiency of 37.5lm W-1 , a CCT of 8035 K, and a CRI over 80, which indicate that Sm3+ -doped Cs2 NaInCl6 :Sb3+ NCs are promising single-component white-light-emitting phosphors for next-generation lighting and display technologies.

Controllable Aggregation-Induced Emission and Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Behaviors of Bistable [c2] Daisy Chain Rotaxanes for White-Light Emission and Temperature-Sensing Applications.

Bistable [c2] daisy chain rotaxanes with respective extended and contracted forms of [c2]A and [c2]B containing a blue-emissive anthracene (AN) donor and orange-emissive indandione-carbazole (IC) acceptor were successfully synthesized via click reaction. Tunable-emission bistable [c2] daisy chain rotaxanes with fluorescence changes from blue to orange, including bright-white-light emissions, could be modulated by the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes through altering water fractions and shuttling processes (i.e., acid/base controls). Accordingly, as a result of excellent fine-tuning AIE (at 60% water content of H2O/THF) and FRET (with a compatible energy transfer of EFRET = 33.2%) behaviors after the shuttling process (by adding base), the brightest white-light emission at CIE (0.31, 0.37) with a quantum yield of Φ = 15.64% was obtained in contracted [c2]B with good control of molecular shuttling to possess higher photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields and better energy transfer efficiencies (i.e., the manipulation of reduced PET and enhanced FRET processes) due to their intramolecular aggregations of blue AN donors and orange IC acceptors with a proper water content of 60% H2O. Furthermore, dynamic light-scattering (DLS) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements, along with theoretical calculations, were utilized to investigate and confirm AIE and FRET phenomena of bistable [c2] daisy chain rotaxanes. Especially, both bistable [c2] daisy chain rotaxanes [c2]A and [c2]B and noninterlocked monomer M could be exploited for the applications of ratiometric fluorescence temperature sensing due to the temperature effects on the AIE and FRET features. Based on these desirable bistable [c2] daisy chain rotaxane structures, this work provides a potential strategy for the future applications of tunable multicolor emission and ratiometric fluorescence temperature-sensing materials.

Humidity and Temperature Sensing of Mixed Nickel–Magnesium Spinel Ferrites

Temperature- and humidity-sensing properties were evaluated of NixMg1-x spinel ferrites (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method using citric acid as fuel and nitrate ions as oxidizing agents. After the exothermic reaction, amorphous powders were calcined at 700 °C followed by characterization with XRD, FTIR, XPS, EDS and Raman spectroscopy and FESEM microscopy. Synthesized powders were tested as humidity- and temperature-sensing materials in the form of thick films on interdigitated electrodes on alumina substrate in a climatic chamber. The physicochemical investigation of synthesized materials revealed a cubic spinel Fd3¯m phase, nanosized but agglomerated particles with a partially to completely inverse spinel structure with increasing Ni content. Ni0.1Mg0.9Fe2O4 showed the highest material constant (B30,90) value of 3747 K and temperature sensitivity (α) of −4.08%/K compared to pure magnesium ferrite (B30,90 value of 3426 K and α of −3.73%/K) and the highest average sensitivity towards humidity of 922 kΩ/%RH in the relative humidity (RH) range of 40–90% at the working temperature of 25 °C.

A novel optical temperature sensor and energy transfer properties based on Tb3+/Sm3+ codoped SrY2(MoO4)4 phosphors.

A series of SrY2(MoO4)4 phosphors doped and co-doped with Tb3+/Sm3+ ions was synthesized to develop new optical temperature sensor materials. The structures, morphologies, and luminescent characteristics of these phosphors were thoroughly investigated. Luminescence spectra of mono-doped SrY2(MoO4)4 phosphors were measured under the excitation at 375 and 403 nm corresponding to direct excitation of Tb3+ and Sm3+, respectively. The characteristic luminescence bands corresponding to electronic transitions of terbium and samarium ions were detected and investigated for different dopant concentrations. The emission spectrum of the Tb3+/Sm3+ co-doped sample exhibited a total of five distinct emission peaks, indicating an energy transfer from Tb3+ to Sm3+ ions. The energy transfer efficiency from Tb3+ ions to Sm3+ ions was investigated in detail. At elevated temperatures, Tb3+ and Sm3+ exhibited distinct thermal sensitivities in their emission and excitation spectra, leading to evident thermochromic behavior. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) was utilized with dual center to evaluate the temperature sensitivity of SrY2(MoO4)4:Tb3+/Sm3+ phosphors. The temperature sensing mechanism relied on the emission band intensity ratios of the 4G5/2 → 6H5/2, 4G5/2 → 6H9/2, and 4G5/2 → 6H7/2 transitions of Sm3+ in conjunction with the 5D5/2 → 7F5/2 transitions of Tb3+. This approach demonstrated high thermal sensitivity values, reaching up to 0.9% K-1. The studied nanoparticles exhibited sub-degree thermal resolution, making them suitable candidates for precise temperature-sensing applications.

Temperature depended resistive property of fermented soybeans (Japanese natto) as a temperature sensor material

Carbon-based temperature-sensitive materials have become recent topics of interest due to high demands of human sensing. To enable the practical use of these temperature sensing devices, high sensitivity, easy fabrication and disposal, and low cost are essential characteristics that should be considered. However, all these characteristics do not appear simultaneously in existing sensors. In this study, we propose and fabricate a sensitive temperature sensor using fermented soybeans (Japanese natto) as the sensing element. Natto is a naturally derived material with temperature-dependent resistance and low environmental load. Moreover, its fabrication and disposal costs are low. The changes in the resistance of the natto sheet are shown to be dependent on its water content, and a temperature coefficient of resistance of 1.15% °C−1 is achieved. The fabricated sensor shows an experimental temperature sensitivity of at least 0.1 °C. These results indicate the promising potential of using the natto sheet as a temperature sensing element.

White light tuning and temperature sensing of NaLu(WO4)2:Ln3+ up-converting phosphor.

NaLu(WO4)2:Ln3+ phosphors were synthesized via a hydrothermal method combined with subsequent calcination. Under excitation at 980 nm, 25%Yb3+, 0.5%Tm3+ and 25%Yb3+, 1%Ho3+-doped phosphors produce blue, green and red emissions. Namely, NaLu(WO4)2:25%Yb3+, 0.1%Ho3+, 0.1%Tm3+ nanocrystals show suitable intensities of blue, green, and red (RGB) emission, resulting in the production of perfect and bright white light with CIE-x = 0.3299 and CIE-y = 0.3293, which is very close to the standard equal energy white light illumination (x = 0.33, y = 0.33). Based on FIR theory, the temperature dependence of NaLu(WO4)2:20%Yb3+, 1%Er3+ was studied, and the maximum value of sensitivity was obtained as 1.38% K−1 at 543 K, which is better than that of previously reported temperature-sensing materials. It proves that the NaLu(WO4)2:Ln3+ phosphors have potential applications in white lighting, optical temperature measurement and other fields.

Luminescence of Ti-Sapphire coatings prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation and their application in temperature sensing

15 µm thick Ti-Sapphire coatings were synthesised at room temperature by the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method for 20 min from the pure aluminium substrate and with the addition of the TiO2 particles in various concentrations in the supporting electrolyte. The coatings are featured by microscopic pores typical for PEO surfaces. The dominant is the alpha phase of alumina with the small presence of the gamma phase. The estimated average crystalline size is 41 nm. Ti is uniformly distributed in these polycrystalline ceramic coatings and does not affect morphology or phase content. Photoluminescence of PEO-created coatings shows typical absorption, excitation, and emission features of Ti-Sapphire with two broad-overlapping excitation bands in the green and blue spectral region due to the Jahn-Teller splitting of the 2Eg level and the Stokes shifted emission centred at 720 nm. 2Eg energy state splitting is equal to 2195 cm−1 and 10 Dq ≈ 19,300 cm−1. The highest emission intensity was observed in the coating prepared with the 0.1 g/L TiO2 powder concentration, i.e. 0.32 at% of incorporated Ti3+. Emission spectra recorded at temperatures ranging from 100 K to 300 K revealed the Mott-Seitz temperature dependence of emission intensity with the 1180 cm−1 activation energy. The fit to the McCumber-Sturge relation gave, for the first time, the value of Debye temperature of 594 K of Al2O3:Ti. Non-contact, luminescence temperature sensing from the temperature-induced changes in the emission bandwidth gave a high sensitivity of 3.2 cm−1 K−1 and 0.19 K temperature resolution. The PEO created Ti-sapphire coatings are a promising multifunctional barrier level – optical temperature sensor material for applications in harsh environments or on large aluminium surfaces. It shows potential to be used as a planar waveguide Ti-Sapphire laser active medium.

Hybrid metasurface perfect absorbers for temperature and biosensing applications

In this work, a comprehensive study of the sensing capabilities of a hybrid metasurface perfect absorber (HMSPA) based on square meta-atoms (S-MAs) and hollow-square meta-atoms (HS-MAs) is presented. Both designs can provide >90% absorption in the narrowband region, rendering them appropriate for filtering applications. The HMSPA with HS-MAs is very sensitive to slight variations in the refractive index of the ambient medium compared with S-MAs, which is ideal for biosensing applications. The sensitivity of the S-MA-based HMSPA is ∼135 nm/RIU and can be further enhanced to 355 nm/RIU using HS-MAs. Furthermore, depositing a temperature-sensing material on the surface of the metasurface enables employing the proposed device for temperature sensing. Owing to the extraordinary thermo-optic coefficient of polydimethylsiloxane, a temperature sensitivity of −0.18 nm/°C is obtained for the temperature range between 20 °C and 60 °C for the HS-MA-based HMSPA. The proposed HMSPA structures can be potentially useful in filtering, biosensing, and temperature-sensing applications, offering ease of device fabrication and light coupling competencies.
