“…Different types of nanothermometers [7][8][9][10][11][12] have been developed that offer a direct read-out of the temperature by transducing a temperature-dependent change of an optical property of the selected material, such as absorption, emission or Raman scattering. In this regards, fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs), such as quantum dots (QDs) [9,13,14], luminescent semiconductor [15], carbon dots [12,16], rare earth doped up-converting or down-converting NPs [1,7,8,17,18], polymeric particles [2,3,11,19] or organic dyes [10] are emerging as promising luminescence nanothermometry devices. They take advantage of the thermally induced changes of a fluorescence characteristic such as band intensity, band shape, spectral position and lifetime for a precise, and often multiparametric and ratiometric, [3,7,9,10,20] temperature detection.…”
