The invention discloses a dye/rare earth organic framework composite material for physiological temperature detection. The composite material has a general structural formula as follows: LnLDye, wherein Ln is a rare earth element-europium or terbium; L is quaterphenyl-3,5,3',5'-tetracarboxylic acid, 4,4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-biradical)bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid), 4-(3'',5''-dicarboxylic acid)-([1,1':4',1''-terphenyl]-4-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, 2',3''-dimethyl-[1,1':4,1':4',1''-quaterphenyl]-3,3'',5,5''-tetracarboxylic acid or 2'-methyl-[1,1':4,1':4',1''-quaterphenyl]-3,3'',5,5''-tetracarboxylic acid; Dye is an organic dye-perylene, pyrene, rhodamine B or coumarin. The composite material is prepared by adopting a solvothermal reaction method and is simple in process, high in yield and good in stability; in addition, the composite material has characteristic luminescence peaks of rare earth ions and dye molecules at the same time, the strength ratio of the two peaks and the temperature form a relatively good linear relation at 20-80 DEG C, self-calibration temperature detection can be realized, and relatively high sensitivity is achieved.
