The homogenous Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaGdF4nanorods were prepared through an ingenious reaction technology at room temperature. The influence of synthetic time on the phase category and microstructure of the studied compounds was examined in detail. When the reaction time was 3 h, the Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaGdF4nanorods with single hexagonal phase were obtained. Upon 980 nm light excitation, visible upconversion emissions were detected in the synthesized nanorods and the involved luminescent mechanism pertained to be a two-photon absorption process. Based on the2H11/2and4S3/2thermally coupled levels, the optical thermometric behaviors of the resultant nanorods were discussed via fluorescence intensity ratio technology and the maximum sensor sensitivity was about 0.0021 K−1at 491 K. Moreover, we also dealt with the laser-induced optical heating properties of the Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaGdF4nanorods and the temperature of the final product was boosted to 348 K when the excitation pump power was 260 mW. These achievements imply that the bifunctional Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaGdF4nanorods are a promising candidate for simultaneous nanothermometer and optical heater.
