) is reported for luminescence lifetime thermometry
featuring both extraordinary water stability and ultrahigh temperature sensitivity. This material overcomes the long-standing trade-off between sensitivity and water resistance in metal halide-based thermometers
opening up new avenues for temperature sensing in humid or aqueous environments.
