Lifetime of lanthanide luminescence basically decreases with increasing the ambient temperature. In this work, we developed NaErF4 core-shell nanocrystals with compensation of the lifetime variation with temperature. Upconversion lifetime of various emissions remains substantially unchanged as increasing the ambient temperature, upon 980/1530 nm excitation. The concentrated dopants, leading to extremely strong interactions between them, are responsible for the unique temperature-independent lifetime. Besides, upconversion mechanisms of NaErF4 core-only and core-shell nanocrystals under 980 and 1530 nm excitations were comparatively investigated. On the basis of luminescent ratiometric method, we demonstrated the optical thermometry using non-thermally coupled F-4(9/2) and I-4(9/2) emissions upon 1530 nm excitation, favoring the temperature monitoring in vivo due to both excitation and emissions fall in the biological window. The formed NaErF4 core-shell nanocrystals with ultra-small particle size, highly efficient upconversion luminescence, unique temperature-independent lifetimes, and thermometry operated in a biological window, are versatile in applications such as anti-counterfeiting, time-domain manipulation, and biological thermal probes.
