ABSTRACT=<p>Highly thermostable <bold>RhB@Zr-Eddc</bold> composites with the Rhodamine B (<bold>RhB</bold>) enclosed into the nanocages of <bold>Zr-Eddc</bold> was synthesized by one-pot method under hydrothermal conditions, whose structure, morphology and stability were characterized through the X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). <bold>RhB@Zr-Eddc</bold> showed the highly thermal stability up to 550°C and emitted the bright red-light emission at 605 nm, which could highly selective detect the nitrofurazone (NFZ) among eleven other antibiotics in aqueous solution. Furthermore, via combining the <bold>RhB@Zr-Eddc</bold> with commercial green phosphor (Y<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub>:Ce<sup>3+</sup>, Ga<sup>3+</sup>), the mixture was encapsulated onto a 455 nm blue LED chip, creating an ex-cellent white light emitting diode (WLED) device with the correlated colour temperature (CCT) of 4710 K, luminous efficiency (LE) of 43.17 lm/w and Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 89.2.</p>
