Abstract Based on the luminescence of ­Bi3+, novel temperature sensing materials ­CaZrO3:Bi3+ and ­CaZrO3:Bi3+/Sm3+ were successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction. The XRD patterns show that the synthesized materials have a pure phase of ­CaZrO3. The XPS results show that the ­Bi3+ and ­Sm3+ can be detected in ­CaZrO3:Bi3+/Sm3+. With the excitation of 318 nm, the ­CaZrO3:Bi3+ material shows intense temperature-dependent luminescence. The maximum relative sensitivity can be obtained at 440 K (1.78% ­K−1). Under the excitation of 408 nm, the ­CaZrO3:Sm3+ material shows the characteristic emission peaks of ­Sm3+. The spectral overlap between the emission spectrum of ­Bi3+ and the excitation spectrum of ­Sm3+ leads to an energy transfer from ­Bi3+ to ­Sm3+ in ­CaZrO3:Bi3+/Sm3+ phosphor. With the excitation of 318 nm, the emission spectrum of ­CaZrO3:Bi3+/Sm3+ material shows the characteristic peaks of B ­ i3+ and S ­ m3+. The fluorescence decay curves also show the 3+ 3+ evidence of the energy transfer from ­Bi to ­Sm . The luminescence intensity ratio of ­Sm3+ and ­Bi3+ in ­CaZrO3:Bi3+/Sm3+ shows obvious temperature dependence. Based on the luminescence intensity ratio, a large relative sensitivity is obtained at 443 K (1.15% ­K−1).

1 Introduction Temperature is a fundamental physical quantity in various fields of science. Accurate measurement of temperature is very important and necessary. In recent years, temperature measurement technology based on inorganic phosphor materials has attracted people’s interest due to its non-contact and high sensitivity properties, such as rare earth or transition metal-doped materials [1–5]. Du et al. reported the temperature sensing method based on the upconversion luminescence of Y ­ b3+/Er3+/Fe3+ tridoped N ­ aBiF4 phosphor [6]. Chen et al. investigated the dual-activator luminescence of RE/TM codoped ­Y3Al5O12 (RE = Eu3+, ­Tb3+, ­Dy3+; TM = Mn4+, ­Cr3+) for optical thermometry [7]. Chi et al. reported ­Zn2GeO4:Mn2+ phosphor as a highly sensitive luminescent thermometer based on the luminescence of ­Mn2+ [8]. As is known, ions with s­ 2 configuration are of large importance in the field of luminescence. The influence * Xiuna Tian [email protected] 1

of the host lattice on the luminescent properties of these ions is drastic. Therefore, we speculate that temperature will have a significant effect on the luminescence properties of these ions. To verify this, we choose B ­ i3+ with 6­ s2 configuration as the activator, which is a well-known luminescent ion in this class. Ions with ­s2 configuration usually show strong optical absorption in the
