Weak luminescence of the small-sized lanthanide-doped nanoparticles has limited their applications long. In recent years, there is a growing interest in luminescence thermal enhancement in small-sized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). The mitigation of surface quenching effects and the improvement of energy transfer (ET) are two convincing explanations for this phenomenon. A systematical investigation on the luminescence dynamics of Yb 3+ is implemented. ET rate and then the proportion of ET increases greatly with rising temperatures in Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ codoped system, while an alternative trend can be summarized in Yb 3+ /Er 3+ one. Based on these findings, therefore it can be concluded that the surface quenching mitigation related to the desorption of water molecules on the surface is a common mechanism of the luminescence thermal enhancement. But ET related to the thermally-activated surface phonons is a special case, it does play a positive role in Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ system. These findings not only explain the upconversion luminescence thermal enhancement in Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ system is more significant but also help to understand thermal enhancement and benefit highly-sensitive temperature probe design.

Long-term thermal quenching of upconversion (UC) limits the usage of UC materials in nanothermometers, lighting phosphors, etc. Although UC thermal enhancement has been achieved through thermal alleviation of surface quenching, the regulation of the balance between internal multiphonon nonradiative relaxation-induced thermal quenching and external surface quencher release-induced thermal enhancement is still a big challenge. Here, we demonstrate a new strategy to achieve huge UC thermal enhancement by constructing surface-dominant quasi-2D KLu2F7:20%Yb3+/2%Er3+@KLu2F7 core–shell nanoflakes with an ultrathin thickness of 1.5 nm. The surface-dominant design enables enhancements of ∼820-fold at the 523 nm band and ∼304-fold in total as the temperature increases from 303 to 463 K. Similar huge UC thermal enhancements are also observed in Ho3+ (∼383-fold)- and Tm3+ (∼324-fold)-doped nanoflakes. Higher relative and absolute sensitivities of the thermally coupled state pairs (Er3+:2H11/2/4S3/2) with respective plateau values of 0.940% K–1 (303 K) and 0.509% K–1 (463 K) are achieved, which obviously outperform the thermal-quenching NaYF4:20%Yb3+/2%Er3+@NaYF4 nanoparticles. Moreover, the highly thermally enhanced nanoflakes enable the development of temperature-dependent anticounterfeiting inks and encryption, favoring the high-temperature usage of luminescence materials.

The luminescence thermal enhancement (LTE), in lanthanide-doped upconverting nanocrystals (UCNCs), has attracted extensive attention for its applications in anticounterfeiting, temperature sensing, and so on. Some mechanisms for LTE were proposed, including thermally induced water desorption from the surface of UCNCs, but conclusive evidence is absent for any of the mechanisms. Here, vacuumizing is employed in the experiment for the LTE in NaYF4:Ho3+/Yb3+ UCNCs, and significantly promoted LTE is observed. The 300–450–300 K temperature cycling experiment in vacuum shows continuous luminescence enhancement without luminescence intensity recovery as in the cooling process in moisture air, indicating the effect of water desorption because water readsorption is blocked in vacuum. It is found that the Ho3+ 5I6 level can be deexcited by direct long-range energy transfer to water adsorbed at the surface of nanocrystals due to resonant coupling between the Ho3+ 5I6 → 5I7 transition and the −OH vibration of water. As a result, water desorption suppresses the 5I6 depopulation and thus enhances the luminescence of Ho3+. Finally, the regulation of upconversion LTE is realized by adjusting the size of nanocrystals and Ho3+ or Yb3+ concentrations. Our findings indicate that the vacuumizing technique is an effective method to distinguish water-desorption-induced LTE. This work deepens the understanding of LTE and offers insights into the regulation of LTE.

Luminescent materials usually suffer from thermal quenching at high temperature due to the aggravation of nonradiation relaxations. Herein, a giant enhancement of up conversion (UC) luminescence is observed in negative thermal expansion (NTE) Y 2 W 3 O 12 :Nd phosphor upon increasing the temperature from 310 to 790 K. In addition, the temperature-dependent UC emission is reversible. To penetrate into the mechanisms, the temperature-dependent luminescence intensity and lifetime are investigated for Nd doped negative and positive thermal expansion (PTE) phosphors. Based these investigation, we infer that the underlying mechanism of the giant enhancement for Y 2 W 3 O 12 :Nd phosphor are due to combined effects of phonon assisted absorptions and contraction of NTE crystals. Moreover, the observation of temperature-dependent near-infrared spectra (NIR) can support the mechanism from the other side. The present findings pave the way to overcome thermal quenching of Nd 3+ ions and explore new thermal enhancement materials sensitized by Nd 3+ ions.

A janus polydopamine-coated Cu 2 O/ZnO nanoarchitectures (ZnCuO@PDA) is presented and show favorable applications in environmental remediation, specifically dye degradation. The nanoarchitectures consisted of a heterostructure co-composed of the N-type semiconductor ZnO and the narrow bandgap P-type semiconductor Cu 2 O as the core. The formation of the Cu 2 O/ZnO heterojunction lowered the rate of electron-hole complexation, and the PDA provided the nanomaterials with excellent photo-thermal properties and active sites, which worked together to enhance the degradation rate for dye by photothermal enhanced Fenton catalytic effect. Rhodamine B (RhB) was served as modal dye contaminant, then the degradation experiments showed that the low concentration of ZnCuO@PDA exhibited excellent dye degradation over a wide pH range. Furthermore, ZnCuO@PDA exhibits favorable biocompatibility and recyclability, making it an environmentally sustainable and economically multiphase catalytic system. This innovation presents a novel approach for effective dye degradation.

Enzyme immobilization has emerged as a promising strategy to facilitate the industrialization of biomolecules. However, immobilized systems are now still facing great challenges such as maintaining enzyme activity, large-scale manufacturing recovery and leaching or conformational changes of enzymes. Therefore, advanced enzyme immobilization techniques (efficient, stable and tunable catalysis) are currently an important challenge in this field. Here, enzyme@cyclodextrin covalent organic framework films are synthesized by template method and further constructed three-dimensional (3D) hydrogen bond-enhanced efficient MXene/enzyme membrane reactor. This strategy provides a spacious microenvironment for the release of enzyme molecules, a simpler process, an easier-to-etch template, a more biocompatible carrier. Furthermore, a versatile platform for interfacial photothermal and fast mass-transfer by constructing films with MXene. The obtained biocatalysts have excellent reusability, high activity and stability, which can be used as efficient biocatalysts for important industrial reactions. The enzyme membrane reactor is constructed by the ‘smart capsule ’ with enzyme@cyclodextrin-COF structure. The strategy can solve the challenging problems of the original previous enzyme immobilization system. Overall, a new idea is provided for the green, efficient, stable and sustainable general enzyme catalytic platform.

A series of Sr 2.99-x (PO 4 ) 2 :.01Er 3+ /xYb 3+ ( x = .02, .04, .06, .08, .10) phosphors in the presence of impurity Tm 3+ were synthesized by high temperature solid-state method, and X-ray diffraction results show that these samples are pure R-3 m(166) space group phase. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Er 3+ and impurity Tm 3+ under 980-nm laser excitation were investigated, and the results show that the intense blue UCL of impurity Tm 3+ and thermal enhancement of 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 of Er 3+ simultaneously exist. When Er 3+ doping concentration is kept at .01, both the blue UCL intensity of impurity Tm 3+ and green and red UCL intensity of Er 3+ reach the maximum at Yb 3+ doping concentration of .08. The thermal enhancement effect of 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 of Er 3+ was observed as high as 3.27 times from 303 to 723 K, which is because of lattice distortion and phonon-assisted transition. In addition, the optical temperature performance of Sr 2.91 (PO 4 ) 2 :.01Er 3+ /.08Yb 3+ sample was studied, and the maximum absolute temperature sensitivity was calculated as .00623 K −1 at 538 K. This study suggests that Sr 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors in the presence of impurity Tm 3+ have a promising application prospect as optical temperature sensor at high temperature.

Surfactants are often used as additives to stabilize the dispersed phase of the water-based multicomponent fluids (such as non-azeotropic emulsion) for enhancing the boiling process, but their effects on the boiling heat transfer of water are still not clear. In this paper, a pool boiling experiment is designed to investigate the specific effects of surfactants (Tween20 (Polysorbate 20), Span20 (Arlasel 20), and Tween20-Span20 mixture) on the subcooled boiling heat transfer characteristics of pure water. The experimental results are analyzed by considering the influences of addition type and concentration of surfactant as well as the applied heat loads. It is found that: (1) Tween20 can achieve excellent boiling enhancing performance (decreasing the wall superheat by up to 10.4 °C and raising the boiling heat transfer coefficient by up to 13.4%) by increasing the number of nucleation sites. And the enhancement is improved with the increase of concentration when the heat flux is below a certain level, while it is weakened at high heat flux for Tween20 with a high concentration (1 mL L -1 ). The reason is that high concentration Tween20 results in an excessive increase of nucleation sites which prevents the return of working fluid and weakens the enhancement of heat transfer. (2) Span20 shows a boiling enhancement only when its concentration is 0.05 mL L -1 (lower than the CMC) among the test ones. Further increment in Span20 concentration (exceeding the CMC) leads to a large increase of wall superheat because it increases the viscosity of working fluid and deteriorates the heat transfer performance. (3) Tween20-Span20 mixture significantly aggravates the aforementioned boiling deterioration effect of Span20 (due to the reduced CMC for the mixture of Tween20 and Span20, weakening the heat transfer), and thus is not suitable for preparing boiling-heat-transfer-enhancing fluids. These results can provide a better understanding of surfactants and guide the practical preparation of multicomponent fluids for boiling heat transfer enhancement.

A series of Tb3+/Mn4+ co-doped double-perovskite oxides Sr2LuTaO6 (SLT) phosphors are synthesized by a solid-state method. The results of structural characterization prove that the Tb3+ and Mn4+ ions are successfully doped into the SLT host. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+, Sr2LuTaO6:Mn4+ and Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ are illustrated in detail. Under ultraviolet (UV) excitation, bright green and red lights are obtained from the Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ phosphor. In particular, the emission intensity of Tb3+ ions in Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ is enhanced by the energy transfer (ET) process from Mn4+ to Tb3+. The thermal enhancement of Tb3+ ion radiation in Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ also proves the ET process (Mn4+ → Tb3+). In addition, the thermal enhancement of Tb3+ ion radiation and the thermal quenching of Mn4+ ion radiation in the Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ system can be applied to develop optical thermometry based on luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technology. Therefore, the LIRs of Mn4+ (2Eg → 4A2g) and Tb3+ (5D4 → 7F5,4) are investigated in the temperature range from 313 to 573 K. The absolute sensitivity (Sa) and relative sensitivity (Sr) of the Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ phosphor are calculated. The maximum values of Sa and Sr are obtained from the LIR of Tb3+: 5D4 → 7F4 (570–599 nm) and Mn4+: 2Eg → 4A2g (625–705 nm). The maximum Sa is 10.18% K−1 at 543 K, and the maximum value of Sr reaches 1.98% K−1 at 543 K. These results confirm that the ET process from Mn4+ to Tb3+ contributes to increasing the temperature measuring sensitivity of the Sr2LuTaO6:Tb3+/Mn4+ phosphor. Therefore, the Sr2LuTaO6:Mn4+/Tb3+ phosphor has prospective potential in optical thermometry and provides advantageous guidance for designing high-sensitivity optical thermometers.

In this paper, we report the thermal-enhanced near-infrared upconversion luminescence (UCL) from thermal-coupled (TC) energy levels of Er 3+ and a new optical temperature sensing strategy in Er 3+ -doped phosphors. The near-infrared UCL of Er 3+ in the wavelength range of 750–900 nm due to the transitions from the 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 TC energy levels to the 4 I 13/2 metastable energy level showed a thermally enhanced luminescence behavior at elevated temperatures that is related to the enhanced temperature-dependent non-radiative relaxation. The luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) between the near-infrared ( 2 H 11/2 / 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 13/2 ) and the green ( 2 H 11/2 / 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 ) UCL of Er 3+ was studied as a function of temperature and demonstrated good optical thermometry behavior based on the classic Boltzmann distribution . The absolute sensitivity based on the LIR between near-infrared and green UCL of Er 3+ was as high as 0.061 K −1 , showing a nearly two orders of magnitude improvement compared to that based on the traditional LIR between two green UCL of Er 3+ . It is anticipated that the near-infrared UCL from TC energy levels of Er 3+ can be used to construct new luminescent thermometry devices with high sensitivity, low temperature uncertainty, and good repeatability.

Osmotic energy, existing between solutions with different concentrations, is a sustainable and ecofriendly resource for solving energy issues. However, current membrane-based osmotic energy conversion technologies focus on electricity generation from an “open” system by directly mixing salt (NaCl) solutions at room temperature. For the integrated utilization of thermal energy and higher power output performance, we demonstrate thermoenhanced osmotic energy conversion by employing highly soluble lithium bromide (LiBr) solutions, asymmetric sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)/poly(ether sulfone) (SPEEK/PES) membranes, and LiMn 2 O 4 /carbon nanotube (LMO/CNT) electrodes. The thin top layer of this heat-resistant membrane contains hydrophilic groups (i.e., the sulfonated groups in SPEEK) that are beneficial for ion-selective transport. The thermal effect on each solution is investigated, and osmotic energy conversion can be improved by regulating the heat gradient. The power density is ~16.50 W/m 2 by coupling with a temperature gradient (30 °C). This work is a step forward for promoting the performance of osmotic energy conversion with thermal energy assistance and provides the basis for a closed-loop system with regenerated osmotic energy from other energy forms. Moreover, the external field-osmotic hybrid energy conversion system shows powerful potential in the energy harvesting field.

Overcoming thermal quenching is generally essential for the practical application of luminescent materials. It has been recently found that frameworks with negative thermal expansion (NTE) could be a promising candidate to engineer unconventional luminescence thermal enhancement. However, the mechanism through which luminescence thermal enhancement can be well tuned remains an open issue. In this work, enabled by altering ligands in a series of UiO-66 derived Eu-based metal–organic frameworks, it was revealed that the changes in the thermal expansion are closely related to luminescence thermal enhancement. The NTE of the aromatic ring part favors luminescence thermal enhancement, while contraction of the carboxylic acid part plays the opposite role. Modulation of functional groups in ligands can change the thermal vibration of aromatic rings and then achieve luminescence thermal enhancement in a wide temperature window. Our findings pave the way to manipulate the NTE and luminescence thermal enhancement based on ligand engineering.
