The visualized dual-modal stress-temperature sensing refers to the ability of a sensor to provide real-time and visible information about both stress and temperature and has indeed attracted significant interest in various fields. However, the development of convenient methods for achieving this capability remains a challenge. In this work, a dual-modal stress-temperature sensor is successfully fabricated using a ZnS/Cu@CsPbBr 1.2 I 1.8 glass ceramics (GCs)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (ZCP) composite film. The tunable ML color is achieved by modulating the concentration of CsPbBr 1.2 I 1.8 GCs in the ZCP composite films based on the light conversion process from ZnS/Cu to CsPbBr 1.2 I 1.8 GCs. Additionally, the stress and temperature can be visualized simultaneously by integrating the ML intensity and ML color of the ZCP composite film. This feature allows for the real-time monitoring of automotive tire temperature by embedding the ZCP composite film on the tire surface, enabling a strong and stable response to both stress and temperature changes. Overall, this work offers a convenient, efficient, and repeatable approach for achieving visualized dual-modal stress-temperature sensing in the fields of mechanical engineering, structural health monitoring, and intelligent devices.
