In situ temperature measurement for closed systems is
always challenging
due to various physical limitations. With the aim to visualize the
heat transfer phenomena in situ continuously with a longer time scale,
octylamine substituted CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots
(QDs) are synthesized, leading to its thermo-sensitity being doubled.
An optical-based 2D temperature sensor based on these ligand-modified
QDs is developed, targeting microreactors and other circumstances
where conventional thermal sensing protocols are not applicable. The
developed method has the advantages of repeatability, long lifetime,
low cost, fast response time, and broader applicability since it does
not require IR transparent substrates. On top of these advantages,
the proposed method also provides satisfactory spatial and temporal
resolution, which is typically limited by the camera’s specification
rather than the materials.
