The optimised Er/Yb: Cs₃Bi₂Cl₉ demonstrated an intense upconversion (UC) emission (λ_exc= 980 nm), which shows an unusual negative thermal quenching effect, where the intensities of both the red and the green emissions increased with temperature. This effect is attributed to the efficient energy transfer from the sensitiser Yb³⁺ ions to the activator Er³⁺ ions due to the negative thermal expansion (NTE) of the lattice and the removal of moisture from the sample after heating. This unique optical feature has been used for optical temperature sensing applications using the fluorescence intensity ratio method. The observed absolute and relative temperature sensitivities of Er/Yb: Cs₃Bi₂Cl₉ are 1.07 % K⁻¹ and 0.98 % K⁻¹, respectively, which is reasonably good.
