Summary: Lanthanide doped Sc2(MoO4)3 upconversion crystals exhibit negative thermal quenching effect and have potential applications in temperature sensing. This study demonstrates a novel approach to enhance the room temperature upconversion intensity by doping Ca2+ ions into Yb/Er (Ho) doped Sc2Mo3O12 crystals. The incorporation of Ca2+ ions breaks the crystal symmetry and promotes 4f-4f transitions, leading to enhanced upconversion. The results show that the UC intensity of Sc2Mo3O12:20Yb/1Ho/20Ca is about 100 times higher than that of Sc2Mo3O12:20Yb/1Ho phosphors. Additionally, the temperature sensing performance based on thermally coupled levels was improved after Ca2+ ion doping. These findings contribute to the exploration of novel scheelite structural compounds with superior upconversion properties.
