A luminescent ratiometric thermometer based on thermally coupled levels of a Dy-MOF†
Abstract
A MOF thermometer, Dycpia, utilizing thermally coupled energy levels (TCELs) has been realized. Based on two emissions originating from two TCELs, Dycpia enables self-referenced temperature sensing in the range from 298 to 473 K with a high resolution of 0.05 K.
