This study investigates in detail the laser-mediated upconversion emission and temperature-sensing capability of (Ca YbEr )TiO. Samples were prepared at different concentrations to observe the effect of erbium on upconversion while increasing its concentration and keeping all the other parameters constant. Doping is a widespread technological process which involves incorporating an element called a dopant in a lower ratio to the host lattice to derive hybrid materials with desired properties. The (Ca YbEr )TiO perovskite nanoparticles were synthesized a sol-gel technique. The frequency upconversion was performed using a 980 nm laser diode excitation source. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) confirmed that the synthesized samples are crystalline in nature and have an orthorhombic structure. The temperature-sensing ability was examined using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) algorithm of two emission bands (H → I and S → I) of the Er ion. Temperature-dependent upconversion luminescence is observed over a broad temperature range of 298-623 K. The maximum sensor sensitivity obtained is 6.71 × 10 K at 110°.

Ratiometric luminescence thermometry (RLT) has attracted considerable attention for its non-invasive, fast response, and strong electromagnetic interference resistance; however, improving relative sensitivity () is of great significance. Herein, we propose a design principle to promote by linearly superposing the energy gaps of thermally coupled levels (TCLs) subordinated to luminescence centers. A new fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR') is derived from multiplying the previous FIRs of multi-pair TCLs.

A near-infrared (NIR) light-driven NaYF:Yb/Er-TiO-TiC (NYF-TiO-TiC) heterostructure-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform was constructed for highly sensitive d-serine (d-ser) detection. Accurate d-ser detection depends on the model biocatalyst, d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), which converts d-ser into hydroxypyruvate and an equimolar concentration of hydrogen peroxide (HO) via an enzymatic reaction. The TiO-TiC semiconductor and NaYF:Yb/Er optical transducer formed a Schottky junction that provided an irreversible channel for electron transfer.

In this work, ytterbium-erbium co-doped strontium molybdate (SrMoO, SMO) nanophosphors (NPs), denoted as SMO:Yb/Er, have been successfully prepared. These NPs were then incorporated into TiO acceptor films in hybrid solar cells to enhance light harvesting by virtue of an up-conversion process where low energy photons can be converted into high energy photons through multi-photon processes. The results showed that the SMO:Yb/Er single crystal NPs are capable of turning near infrared photons into visible ones that can be easily captured by poly(thieno[3,4-b]-thiophene/benzodithiophene) (PTB7).

Especially, conventional organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells (HSCs) based on PTB7 as p-type semiconductor can only utilize 400-800 nm solar spectrum. One effective strategy to overcome this obstacle is the introduction of up-conversion nanophosphors (NPs), in the virtue of utilizing the near infrared region (NIR) of solar radiation.
