Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluorescent materials and fluorescent thermometers, specifically to a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Compared with contact temperature measurement, optical temperature sensors have significant advantages such as higher sensitivity, wider temperature measurement range, immunity to electromagnetic interference, long-path monitoring, and independence from electronic devices. They are widely used in fields such as biomedicine, energy, industry and agriculture, and daily life, and are gradually becoming an indispensable and important temperature monitoring technology.
[0003] The working principle of optical temperature sensors is based on monitoring the change in emission intensity caused by temperature when a luminescent material interacts with a physical system. In practice, a phosphor with high emission intensity is selected as the temperature detector, and the measured spectrum is converted into temperature. The temperature range can be easily determined and calculated using key parameters such as luminescence intensity, effective bandwidth, spectral shape, spectral shift, and lifetime. Among these, the fluorescence intensity ratio temperature measurement technique, which uses the sensitivity of the indicator light signal's emission to changes in ambient temperature while referencing a stable light signal, is more widely used due to its advantages such as simple structure, high cost-effectiveness, high accuracy, fast response time, and excellent resolution.
[0004] However, stable and accurate measurement of minute changes over a wide temperature range remains a major challenge for this type of optical thermometer. Therefore, developing a ratiometric fluorescent thermometer with ultra-sensitive sensitivity and a wide temperature range is of great significance.
[0005] Currently, when using phosphors with high emission intensity as ratiometric fluorescent thermometers, the phenomenon of luminescence-thermal quenching of the phosphor exists. That is, the fluorescence intensity inevitably decreases as the ambient temperature increases. This limits the temperature measurement sensitivity and range of fluorescence intensity-based thermometry, resulting in existing phosphors having relatively low sensitivity and narrow temperature measurement range. For example, using S... r >1% K -1 Calculations show that existing phosphors generally only have high relative sensitivity within a temperature measurement range of 150°C, and cannot be widely used over a wider temperature measurement range. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the issues of low sensitivity and narrow temperature measurement range of phosphors currently used in ratiometric fluorescent thermometers, this invention provides a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material with an antithermal quenching reference signal, its preparation method, and its application.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows.
[0008] The first aspect of this invention provides a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material, which is based on Bi 3+ Tb is an indicator signal ion. 3+ As a reference signal ion, Bi 3+ and Tb 3+ The dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material is obtained by doping into a matrix material; the expression for the dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material is Ca2M. x Zr2Al3O 12 :aBi 3+ ,yTb 3+ Where M is Y, Gd or Lu, x=1-ay, y=0.1~0.3, a=0.005~0.015.
[0009] Preferably, the matrix material has a garnet crystal structure, belonging to the cubic crystal system. (230) Space group; the matrix material is expressed as Ca2M x Zr2Al3O 12 .
[0010] This invention utilizes the rigidity of the garnet-structured matrix material to ensure Tb at low temperatures. 3+ The emitted signal exhibits good thermal stability, meaning that thermal quenching is not significant, thereby improving the relative sensitivity at low temperatures. Simultaneously, this invention utilizes the garnet structure crystal field and charge migration state to modulate Bi... 3+ and Tb 3+ The excitation spectrum ensures that both excitations in the range of 294nm–316nm and 265nm–290nm can be co-excited.
[0011] Preferably, the dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material generates two ratiometric signal channels in two temperature measurement zones. Each ratiometric signal channel is composed of the fluorescence intensity ratio of the indicator signal ion and the reference signal ion. The two temperature measurement zones are designated as the first temperature measurement zone and the second temperature measurement zone, respectively, and the two ratiometric signal channels are designated as the first ratiometric signal channel and the second ratiometric signal channel, respectively. When the ambient temperature is in the first temperature measurement zone, the dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material generates the first ratiometric signal channel upon excitation at an excitation wavelength of 294 nm to 316 nm. When the ambient temperature is in the second temperature measurement zone, the dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material generates the second ratiometric signal channel upon excitation at an excitation wavelength of 265 nm to 290 nm. The temperature range of the first temperature measurement zone is 293 K to b, and the temperature range of the second temperature measurement zone is c to 573 K; where 433 K ≤ b ≤ 493 K, and 393 K ≤ c ≤ 453 K. The first temperature measurement zone is a low-temperature zone, and the second temperature measurement zone is a high-temperature zone.
[0012] Within an ambient temperature range of 293K to 573K, the dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material of this invention generates two ratiometric signal channels under excitation at different wavelengths. The first ratiometric signal channel indicates the low-temperature region, and the second ratiometric signal channel indicates the high-temperature region. When the temperature is measured in the low-temperature region, the indicator signal ion Bi... 3+ The luminescence intensity of the reference signal ion Tb decreases significantly with increasing temperature, while the luminescence intensity of the reference signal ion Tb decreases significantly with increasing temperature. 3+ The luminescence intensity of the ion does not decrease significantly, and its thermal stability is good. When the temperature is measured in the high-temperature range, the indicator signal ion Bi... 3+ The luminescence intensity of the reference signal ion Tb decreases significantly with increasing temperature, while the luminescence intensity of the reference signal ion Tb decreases significantly with increasing temperature. 3+ The luminescence intensity is significantly improved, indicating significant anti-thermal quenching. The dual-ratio signal channel of this invention is the main factor in achieving high sensitivity performance and widening the temperature measurement range.
[0013] This invention develops a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material, wherein the Bi indicating the signal... 3+ It exhibits sensitive thermal quenching, manifested as a broadband excitation spectrum and a dual-emission indication signal composed of two different emission wavelengths under different excitation spectra, while Tb serves as the reference optical signal. 3+ Based on the electron-phonon coupling phenomenon, two distinct thermal quenching characteristics—low-temperature quenching and reverse-temperature quenching—we have achieved a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material exhibiting characteristics in both low-temperature and high-temperature regions. The superior improvement in relative sensitivity in the low-temperature region is achieved by utilizing the rigidity of the matrix material and the simultaneous excitation of Bi by the excitation source. 3+ and Tb 3+ The luminescence is achieved through electron emission. The superior improvement in relative sensitivity in the high-temperature region is achieved by utilizing the electron-phonon coupling phenomenon to enhance the reference signal ion Tb. 3+ This is achieved by increasing the luminescence intensity at high temperatures.
[0014] The specific principle is: utilizing the broadband excitation spectrum of Bi 3+ It features a unique dual-transmission indication signal characteristic formed by A-band and D-band transmission, combined with Tb 3+ Based on the unique green luminescence parameter signal, a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material was designed. Simultaneously, based on the broadening and redshift characteristics of the rare-earth ion excitation spectrum associated with increased electron-phonon coupling, the Tb values were modulated in both low-temperature and high-temperature regions. 3+ Different emission spectral intensities were used to design fluorescent materials with dual-channel ratios.
[0015] When the ambient temperature is in the low-temperature range, Bi is simultaneously excited using an excitation light source in the 294nm–316nm range. 3+ and Tb 3+ To achieve Bi 3 + and Tb 3+Co-luminescence forms a ratio signal channel in the low-temperature region. At this time, when the ambient temperature rises but remains within the low-temperature region, due to Bi... 3+ and Tb 3+ The thermal quenching property of Bi leads to 3+ The luminescence intensity decreased significantly, but due to the rigidity of the matrix material and the effect of the excitation source on Tb 3+ The stimulating effect of Tb 3+ The decrease is not significant. The present invention solves the problem of sensitive temperature measurement in the low-temperature region by utilizing the normal thermal quenching phenomenon of the indicator signal and the reference signal. That is, after the light source with a wavelength of around 309nm is excited, the indicator signal emits light and undergoes normal thermal quenching, while the reference light signal emits light stably and the thermal quenching phenomenon is not significant.
[0016] When the ambient temperature is in the high-temperature range, the wavelength of the excitation source is adjusted to 265nm–290nm, and Tb is induced by electron-phonon coupling. 3+ Excitation spectral broadening and redshift increase Tb 3+ The absorption intensity is adjusted to achieve an ultrasensitive signal where the intensity of the indicator signal decreases with increasing temperature, while the intensity of the reference signal increases with increasing temperature.
[0017] The excitation source of this invention consists of two ultraviolet chips. One excitation source has a wavelength around 309 nm, and the other has a wavelength around 275 nm. They operate respectively in the low-temperature and high-temperature testing regions. In the low-temperature region, the ultraviolet chip with a wavelength around 309 nm exhibits relatively high sensitivity, and at this time, the light source with a wavelength around 309 nm excites the phosphor alone. At high temperatures, the system switches to the ultraviolet chip with a wavelength of 275 nm to excite the phosphor alone.
[0018] This invention utilizes Bi 3+ and Tb 3+ Co-doping in the matrix material, utilizing Bi 3+ It features dual emission indication signals from both the A-band and D-band, enabling dual-channel ratiometric fluorescence thermometry. Simultaneously, based on the enhanced electron-phonon coupling phenomenon, it demonstrates a precise improvement in the thermal stability of the luminescent center of the fluorescent material and an effective widening of its temperature measurement range.

[0020] A second aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material as described in the first aspect, comprising the following steps: According to the expression of dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent materials Ca2M x Zr2Al3O 12 :aBi 3+ ,yTb 3+ By determining the stoichiometric ratio, metal ion sources corresponding to Ca, M, Zr, Al, Bi and Tb were obtained as raw materials. After grinding and mixing the raw materials, they were calcined, cooled and ground into powder to obtain a dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material.

Detailed Implementation
[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0050] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] Due to the luminescence quenching phenomenon of existing phosphors, they suffer from relatively low sensitivity and narrow temperature measurement range. Therefore, finding an efficient strategy that can accurately control the thermal stability of the luminescence center signal has become the key to promoting the application of optical thermometry in fluorescent materials.
[0052] Based on existing technologies, there are currently two main approaches to improving the temperature sensitivity of fluorescent materials: finding two fluorescent indicator signals and a reference signal with diametrically opposed temperature responses, where the indicator signal intensity decreases with increasing temperature, while the reference signal intensity increases with increasing temperature, thus achieving a change in the ratio of reference signal intensity to indicator signal intensity caused by temperature changes. Therefore, the main solutions to address the poor thermal stability of activator ions in fluorescent materials include defect engineering strategies and negative thermal expansion strategies.
[0053] Defect engineering strategy involves artificially creating defect energy levels to store electrons, and then activating the electrons in the trap energy levels to provide compensatory luminescence when heated, thereby enhancing the luminescence intensity of the indicator signal luminescence center ions when heated.
[0054] The negative thermal expansion strategy utilizes the contraction / transformation of the crystal lattice during heating to enhance the symmetry of the crystal, suppress lattice vibrations to reduce nonradiative transitions of electrons, thereby improving the thermal stability of fluorescent material luminescence at high temperatures and avoiding the occurrence of thermal quenching of the reference signal.
[0055] Both of the above strategies can reduce the non-radiative energy transitions caused by heating, and have the advantages of maintaining stable luminescence. Thus, they still have efficient luminescence performance in high-temperature environments and can be used to make fluorescent materials with variable temperature or high-temperature working requirements.
[0056] However, current experimental techniques for defect engineering strategies are insufficient to fully understand and determine the exact properties of defect states. Therefore, it is impossible to control the number of introduced defect states and their distribution in fluorescent materials, often leading to contradictory experimental results. Introducing defect states into fluorescent materials through defect engineering strategies also causes lattice distortion, affecting the overall structural stability of the material. Furthermore, precisely introducing or manipulating specific types of defect states is technically challenging and easily introduces unintended impurities, negatively impacting the luminescence performance of the fluorescent material.
[0057] Currently, very few fluorescent materials are suitable for the negative thermal expansion strategy, and a thorough understanding of how the shrinkage of the crystal structure during heating affects the detailed process of electronic transitions remains lacking. The technology for using negative thermal expansion to improve the thermal stability of luminescent ions in fluorescent materials is far from mature, and it is impossible to achieve completely precise artificial control over the thermal expansion coefficient of negative thermal expansion inorganic phosphors. Therefore, matching the thermal expansion coefficient of negative thermal expansion phosphors with that of the matrix material remains a critical issue.
[0058] The two strategies mentioned above have revealed fatal flaws in terms of high production technology difficulty, complex production process, high production cost and low production efficiency under market demand, which seriously hinders the entry of fluorescent materials into various fields.
[0059] Addressing the shortcomings of existing fluorescent materials in production, such as low high-temperature sensitivity, high technical difficulty, complex production process, high production cost, and low production efficiency, this invention simplifies the entire production process without requiring additional manufacturing steps, eliminates the need for atmosphere protection, maximizes cost savings, and significantly promotes... FIR Applications of this type of thermometer in various fields.
[0060] Within an ambient temperature range of 293K to 573K, the dual-channel ratiometric fluorescent material of this invention generates two ratiometric signal channels under excitation at different wavelengths. The first ratiometric signal channel indicates the low-temperature region, and the second ratiometric signal channel indicates the high-temperature region. When the temperature is measured in the low-temperature region, the indicator signal ion Bi... 3+ The luminescence intensity of the reference signal ion Tb decreases significantly with increasing temperature, while the luminescence intensity of the reference signal ion Tb decreases significantly with increasing temperature. 3+ The luminescence intensity of the ion does not decrease significantly, and its thermal stability is good.

The dual-ratio signal channel of this invention is the main factor in achieving high sensitivity performance and widening the temperature measurement range.
[0061] Current methods cannot extend the temperature measurement range. This invention employs a dual-ratio signal channel strategy, covering two temperature ranges. When the two temperature measurement ranges are combined, they can cover 293K to 573K, providing a wider temperature measurement range compared to other ratio fluorescent materials, while also meeting the needs for sensitive temperature measurement in both high and low temperature ranges.
[0062] This invention utilizes Bi 3+ Broadband excitation spectra, combined with electron-phonon coupling mechanisms to promote Tb 3+ It exhibits anti-thermal quenching luminescence, thereby enhancing relative sensitivity at high temperatures.
[0063] Furthermore, this invention utilizes the rigidity of the garnet-structured matrix material to ensure Tb at low temperatures. 3+ The emitted signal exhibits good thermal stability, meaning that thermal quenching is not significant, thereby improving relative sensitivity at low temperatures. Simultaneously, this invention utilizes the garnet structure to modulate Bi... 3+ and Tb 3+ The excitation spectrum ensures that excitation light in the 294nm–316nm and 265nm–290nm ranges can be used to co-excite both.
