Article Description

NaScF:Yb/Ercrystals were successfully hydrothermally synthesized using distilled water as a single solvent. The crystal phase and morphology were characterized by XRD and SEM. Compared with organic solvents such as ethanol, ethylene glycol and ether, the molar ratio of Na/F/Sc plays an important role in the synthesis of NaScFcrystals. Morphological control was achieved by changing the types of additives, and the relationship between morphology and luminescence properties was explored. The NaScF:Yb/Erphosphors exhibit strong green and red UC emissions under the excitation of 980 nm NIR. Optimal concentrations of Yband Erfor up-conversion luminescence performance were identified as 10% and 2%, respectively. Without any subsequent heat treatment process, the obtained NaScF:10%Yb/2%Ershowed good temperature sensitivity. The temperature sensing ability was investigated by employing the dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the two thermal coupling energy levels of Er(H→IandS→I) on temperature; the maximum sensitivityS/Swas 0.00256 K/0.00317 Kat 548 K, and it increased to 0.00328 K/0.00413 Kafter adding EDTA. In addition, an evaluation of temperature uncertainty during temperature measurement was performed, and was found to be 0.073 K and 0.095 K in the presence and absence of EDTA, respectively. Compared with some other reported materials, the obtained material shows a relatively superior temperature sensitivity, which provides new ideas for the improvement of temperature-sensitive materials.
