? 2022 The Author(s)Temperature sensing by using near-infrared (λ = 976 nm)-excited upconversion (UC) of Yb, Er and Tm co-doped orthorhombic β’Gd2(MoO4)3 combines remarkable good sensitivity and thermal resolution from room temperature to 890 K, thanks to the use of three different ratiometric luminescence probes. Two of them are based on pairs of thermally coupled levels, namely 2H11/2→4I15/2 vs 4S3/2→4I15/2 Er3+ green emissions (R1) and deep-red 3F3→3H6 vs NIR 3H4→3H6 Tm3+ emissions (R3). The third one uses non-thermally coupled levels, blue 1G4→3H6 vs deep-red 3F3→3H6 Tm3+ emissions (R2). This multiprobe approach allows the optimization of the thermometric parameters for each selected temperature range. Based on absolute thermal sensitivity (SABS), R1 is the best option for sensing from room temperature up to about 442 K, with R1 SABS = 103 × 10?4 K?1 and excellent thermal resolution δT< 0.04 K at 300 K, while at higher temperatures, R2 is the most adequate probe since it combines an extraordinary increase of R2 SABS up to 20300 × 10?4 K?1 at 776 K and very good δT< 0.2 K. When the relative thermal sensitivity (SREL) evaluation is required, R3 is the probe of choice from room temperature up to 522 K, offering simultaneously the highest R3 SREL = 3.3% K?1 and δT = 0.07 K at 300 K, with a minimum δT = 0.05 K achieved at 522 K, but R2 is still the most convenient probe for high temperature sensing, with R2 SREL = 1.6% K?1 and δT = 0.25 K. Therefore, doping β’Gd2(MoO4)3 simultaneously with Er3+ and Tm3+ provides a unique way to span the sensing temperature up to 890 K while maintaining suitable high thermal sensitivity and thermal resolution along the whole temperature range. Several favourable UC aspects specific of β’Gd2(MoO4)3 are identified as being responsible for advantages over its βNaYF4 counterpart for high temperature sensing.
