The invention provides an optical temperature measuring material with color-change
fluorescence. The structural general formula of the optical temperature measuring material is Ca<3-m-n>Sr<m>ZnLi(VO<4>)<3>:Eu<n><3+>, wherein Eu<n><3+> is an activated
ion. The material is prepared by adopting a high-temperature
solid-
phase method. According to the material, under effective excitation of ultravioletlight, [VO4]<3-> groups of a matrix and activated
ion Eu<n><3+> are used as double light-emitting centers to simultaneously give out respective characteristic spectrums. Due to the fact that the
thermal quenching properties of the two light emitting centers are different, the change, along with the temperature change, of
color coordinates (x,y) corresponding to light emitting colors of the material meets a linear equation trajectory, so that a temperature can be roughly determined and calibrated by utilizing
fluorescence color change under excitation of
ultraviolet light. Meanwhile, the two characteristic spectrums are monitored, and the temperature is precisely determined and calibrated by utilizing the
fluorescence intensity ratio of the double light-emitting centers. Compared with theprior art, the method can be used to roughly calibrate the temperature by utilizing fluorescence color change, and can be used to precisely calibrate the temperature by utilizing the
fluorescence intensity ratio of the double light-emitting centers, the temperature measuring range is wide, and the
signal detection and discrimination degree is large. The invention further provides a preparation method and application of the optical temperature measuring material with color-change fluorescence.
