“…The luminescence of many materials can serve as an effective optical sensor probe by virtue of its temperature-sensitive nature. In various types of luminescent materials, compounds doped with lanthanide (Ln 3+ ) ions are recognized for their outstanding luminescence, reduced toxicity, and enhanced chemical and thermal stability, distinguishing them from conventional organic dyes and semiconductor quantum dots. − While oxide hosts like Gd 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 exhibit excellent thermal stability and environmental compatibility, they are characterized by high phonon energy. , On the other hand, fluorides (i.e., NaYF 4 , NaGdF 4 , YF 3 ) have low phonon energy to minimize multiphonon relaxation. − Presently, only a limited number of host materials with negative thermal expansion (NTE) characteristics have been identified as suitable for Ln 3+ doping, yet their luminescence performance often falls short of practical requirements . The selection of Ln 3+ in luminescent materials is generally done by Yb 3+ /Ln 3+ (Ln 3+ = Tm 3+ /Er 3+ /Ho 3+ ) doping combination.…”

Luminescence nanothermometers have garnered considerable attention due to their noncontact measurement, high spatial resolution, and rapid response. However, many nanothermometers employing single-mode measurement encounter challenges regarding their relative sensitivity. Herein, a unique class of tunable upconversion (UC) and downshifting (DS) luminescence covering the visible to nearinfrared range (400−1700 nm) is reported, characterized by the superior Tm 3+ , Ho 3+ , and Er 3+ emissions induced by efficient energy transfer. The outstanding negative thermal expansion characteristic of ScF 3 nanocrystals has been found to guide excitation energy toward the relevant emitting states in the Yb 3+ −Ho 3+ −Tm 3+ -codoped system, consequently resulting in remarkable near-infrared III (NIR-III) luminescence at ∼1625 nm (Tm 3+ : 3 F 4 → 3 H 6 transition), which in turn presents numerous opportunities for designing multimode ratiometric luminescence thermometry. Furthermore, by facilitating phonon-assisted energy transfer in Er 3+ −Ho 3+ -codoped systems, the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) of 4 I 13/2 of Er 3+ and 5 I 6 of Ho 3+ in ScF 3 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ /Er 3+ exhibits a strong temperature dependence, enabling NIR-II/III luminescence thermometry with superior thermal sensitivity and resolution (S r = 0.78% K −1 , δT = 0.64 K). These findings not only underscore the distinctive and ubiquitous attributes of lanthanide ion-doped nanomaterials but also hold significant implications for crafting luminescence thermometers with unparalleled sensitivity.

Exploration of multifunctional integrated catalysts is of great significance for photocatalysis toward practical application. Herein, a 1D confined nanoreactor with a heterogeneous core–shell structure is designed for synergies of efficient catalysis and temperature monitoring by custom encapsulation of Z‐scheme heterojunction CuS quantum dots/BiVO4 (CuS QDs/BiVO4) and Y2O2S‐Er, Yb. The dispersed active sites created by the QDs with high surface energy improve the mass transfer efficiency, and the efficient electron transport channels at the heterogeneous interface extend the carrier lifetime, which endows the nanoreactor with excellent catalytic performance. Meanwhile, real‐time temperature monitoring is realized based on the thermally coupled levels 2H11/2/4S3/2→4I15/2 of Er3+ using fluorescence intensity ratio, which enables the monitorable photocatalysis. Furthermore, the nanoreactor with a multidimensional structure increases effective intermolecular collisions to facilitate the catalytic process by restricting the reaction within distinct enclosed spaces and circumvents potential unknown interaction effects. The design of multi‐space nanoconfined reactors opens up a new avenue to modulate catalyst function, providing a unique perspective for photocatalytic applications in the mineralization of organic pollutants, hydrogen production, and nitrogen fixation.
