Luminescence lifetime-based nanothermometry enables accurate temperature measurement in living animals through temporal calibration and polymer encapsulation. Highly condensed Nd-Yb ions in core-shell nanocrystals provide good temperature sensitivity and accuracy in biological fluids. Combining with anti-interference lifetime thermometry could further enhance temperature measurement in biological and preclinical studies.
Luminescence nanothermometry makes non-invasive and real-time temperature readings possible in living animals. However, the spectral fluctuation in tissues and fluids, as well as the interaction between fluorophores and environment hinders accuracy of the thermometry. Here, we report a luminescence lifetime-based nanothermometry which specifically addresses this problem. A temporal based calibration (lifetime sensing) in the NIR range, an endogenous thermal response as well as a polymer encapsulation evading environmental factors, altogether help to pinpoint temperature in vivo. Thanks to the highly condensed Nd-Yb ions in a well-protected tiny core-shell nanocrystal (overall 11 nm), a temperature sensitivity about 2.07% K-1 (with 5% Yb3+ doped nanoparticles) and an accuracy of 0.27 K (with 25% Yb3+ doped nanoparticles) in biological fluids are achieved. Hopefully, combining thermally activated energy transfer nanothermometer with anti-interference lifetime thermometry would provide a more accurate temperature measurement for biological and preclinical studies.
