Herein optical properties of aggregates of hydrophobic nanodiamonds (NDs) with germanium‐vacancy (GeV) defects distributed on substrates with different hydrophilicities (bare Si or TiO 2 (anatase) film on Si substrate) are investigated with an aim to achieve millimeter‐scale, nearly homogeneous spatial distribution of ND aggregates. ND aggregates are spread by drop casting of a water colloid. The luminescence spectra of GeV defects are studied in a wide temperature range (85–400 K). The possibility of optical thermometry operating in a wide temperature range also covering biotemperatures is demonstrated using a separate microaggregate of NDs on the anatase film.
