Down/upconversion CaAlZnO inorganic phosphors codoped with Ti/Eu or Yb/Er were prepared. The crystal structure and downconversion luminescence properties of CaAlZnO:Ti, Eu phosphors were studied in detail. Ti and Eu occupied Al and Ca sites in the host lattice, respectively. Under the excitation of 273 nm, the emission peak in the 300-570 nm band originated from the T → O transition of Ti. The f-f transition of Eu ions generated multiple peaks in the 570-800 nm range. The emission intensity of Ti and Eu ions can be used as a fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) signal. Based on the FIR technology, the maximum relative sensitivity () and the minimum temperature uncertainty (δ) reached 1.41% K and 0.07 K, respectively. Meanwhile, the temperature-sensing behaviors were explored by the temperature-dependent upconversion spectra of Er- and Yb-codoped CaAlZnO phosphors. Based on the fluorescence intensity ratio of thermal coupling levels (Er:H/S), the maximum and minimum δ of upconversion phosphors reached 1.28% K and 0.08 K in the temperature range of 293-473 K, respectively. CaAlZnO:Ti/Eu (Yb/Er) phosphors realize temperature sensors with higher relative sensitivity, and it is a good candidate material for optical temperature measurement.

Upconversion nanoparticles enable indirect activation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using near-infrared (NIR) light, providing an excellent alternative for treating deep tumors. However, conventional NIR light-triggered PDT systems suffered from low spatiotemporal accuracy and restricted therapeutic efficiency . In this work, DNA logic circuits were functionally modified on down/upconversion nanoparticles (D/UCNPs) to construct smart down/upconversion nanomachines (D/UCNMs) for NIR light-triggered PDT toward target tumors.

Multimode luminescence generally involves tunable photon emissions in response to various excitation or stimuli channels, which demonstrates high coding capacity and confidentiality abilities for anti-counterfeiting and encryption technologies. Integrating multimode luminescence into a single stable material is a promising strategy but remains a challenge. Here, we realize distinct long persistent luminescence, short-lived down/upconversion emissions in NaGdTiO:Pr, Er phosphor by emloying interplay of defect levels and rare earth emission centers.
