A series of NaYF_4:0.2Yb/0.02Ho microcrystals co-doped with various K~+ and Gd~(3+) concentrations were synthesized by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and upconversion (UC) spectroscopy were used to study the effects of co-doped ions on the phase structure, morphology, size and up-conversion luminescence (UCL) properties of microcrystals in detail. The results show that the K~+ and Gd~(3+) co-doping do not evoke the change in crystal structure, but the UCL intensities of NaYF_4:0.2Yb/0.02Ho are significantly enhanced. Compared to K~+ and Gd~(3+)-absent sample, UCL intensities of green emission (541 nm) and red emission (643 nm) in NaYF_4:0.2Yb/0.02Ho microcrystals via 15 mol% K~+ and 15 mol% Gd~(3+) co-doping are increased by 2.4 times and 3.3 times, respectively. The temperature sensing characteristics and thermal quenching properties of the microcrystals were also explored. Significantly, the maximum relative sensitivity of the studied sample reaches 0.0127 K~(-1) at 298 K, which indicates that NaYF_4:0.2Yb/0.02Ho phosphors can be suitable for temperature sensing.
