Also, the intertwined structure of polymers could isolate the oxygen and humidity effectively, thus reducing the consumption of triplet excitons. In consideration of these points, organic polymers would be another kind of ideal platform to realize RTP effect. This short review summarized the design strategy of the purely organic room temperature phosphorescence polymers, mainly focusing on the building forms of polymers and the corresponding inherent mechanisms,and also gives some outlooks on the further exploration of this field at the end of this paper.展开更多

The characteristic emission of the 2D–2F5/2 and 2D–2F7/2 transition of Ce3＋ in photoluminescence （PL） and LLP spectra was studied. It was interesting that the ratio between the peak areas of 2D–2F5/2 and 2D–2F 7/2 transitions in the PL spectrum was different from the ratio of that in LLP emission spectrum. And the ratios had different change regularities with increased Ce3＋ concentration. The possible reason was attributed to the defect in the YAG host,which was affected by increasing the Ce3＋ concentration. There were indications that the defect in the Ce3＋-doped YAG samples was strongly associated with oxygen vacancy. And the defect levels were studied through thermoluminescence （TL） experiment. The results showed that the trap depth was between 0.6 and 0.65 eV,and the kinetic order of the LLP was 2.展开更多

So far,many strategies have succeeded in achieving efficient organic RTP materials by increasing the rate of intersystem crossing(ISC) and suppressing non-radiative transitions. In supramolecular chemistry, the control and regulation of molecular recognition based on the role of the host and vip in supramolecular polymers matrix, has attracted much attention. Recently, researchers have successfully achieved room temperature phosphorescence of pure organic complexes through host-vip interactions. The host molecule specifically includes the phosphorescent vip to reduce non-radiative transitions and enhance room temperature phosphorescence emission. This review aims to describe the developments and achievements of pure organic room temperature phosphorescence systems through the mechanism of host-vip interactions in recent years, and demonstrates the exploration and pursuit of phosphorescent materials of researchers in different fields.展开更多

Under UV light excitation, the phosphor emitted yellow light corresponding to the characteristic emission of Eu2＋ due to 5d-4f transi- tion. Bright yellow phosphorescence sustaining for more than 30 rain was observed after ceasing the excitation. The phosphorescence intensity decay obeyed a fl decay law, indicating a tunneling electron-hole recombination process in the phosphor. Four peaks ap- peared in the thermoluminescence curve and the ones at 322 and 370 K were thought to account for the long lasting phosphorescence at room temperature. The Ho3＋ ion incorporated into the phosphor did not give any light but dramatically increased the intensities of both photoluminescence and phosphorescence via promoting defect levels in the phosphor.展开更多

Their properties were systemati- cally investigated utilizing X-ray diffraction （XRD）, photoluminescence, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence （TL） spectra. The phosphors emitted blue light that was related to the emission of E~＋ due to 5d-4f transition. Bright blue long-lasting phosphorescence （LLP） could be observed after the excitation source was switched off. For the optimized sample, the blue long-lasting phosphores- cence could last for nearly 4 h in the light perception of the dark-adapted human eye （0.32 mcd/m2）. The effects of RE3＋ ions on phosphorescence properties of the phosphors were studied, and the results showed that the co-doping of RE^3＋ ions greatly enhanced the intensity of the peak around 315 K which was related to the long lasting phosphorescence of the phosphors at room temperature and consequently improved the performance of the blue phosphorescence such as intensity and persistent time.展开更多

Despite rapid advances, a universal approach to robust and tunable RTP materials based on amorphous polymers remains a formidable challenge. Here, we present a strategy that uses three-dimensional(3 D)confinement of carbon dots in a polymer network to achieve ultra-long lifetime phosphorescence. The RTP of the as-obtained materials was not quenched in different polar organic solvents and the lifetime of the RTP was easily tuned by adjusting the amount of crosslinking or varying the drying temperature of the 3 D molecular network. As a demonstration of potential application, as-obtained RTP materials were successfully used to prepare RTP fibres for flexible textiles. As well as bringing to light a fundamental principle for the construction of polymer materials with RTP, we have endowed traditional carbon dots and polymers with fresh features that will expand potential applications.展开更多

文摘Amber can emit room temperature phosphorescence(RTP)under the well-known 365 nm fluorescence ultraviolet light.This paper is devoted to the phosphorescence study of 20 pieces of amber materials from the Dominican Republic,Mexico,Baltic sea,Myanmar,and Fushun,China.The results show that amber from the same geographic origin has similar shape in phosphorescence spectra.However,the shape of the amber phosphorescence spectra varies depending on their different localities.Burmite(amber from Myanmar)and Fushun amber have a bright yellow phosphorescence with a long lifetime,while the Dominican and Mexican ones are weaker and last shorter.The irradiation of Baltic amber becomes faint or even inert.Phosphorescence spectral Gaussian fitting results suggest an emission maximum near 550 nm in most amber samples.Their phosphorescence lifetime,analyzed through the exponential function fitting,is up to 1 second in Burmite and Fushun samples,shorter in the Dominican and Mexican ones,about 0.230 s,and the shortest in Baltic amber,close to 0.151 s.These variations of phosphorescence lifetime and intensity are related to the relative geological ages of these amber.It indicated that the phosphorescence agent was probably formed during the long geological time.While the anomaly occurred in Baltic amber,the only one found in a sea secondary deposit form,it demonstrated that the terrestrial geological environment these amber preserved has prevented the phosphorescence agent to be deactivated.

文摘Room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) has drawn increasing attention for its great potential in practical applications.Polymers with large molecular weights and long chains tend to form coil, which can endow them with a high degree of possible rigidity and result in the much restricted non-radiative transition. Also, the intertwined structure of polymers could isolate the oxygen and humidity effectively, thus reducing the consumption of triplet excitons. In consideration of these points, organic polymers would be another kind of ideal platform to realize RTP effect. This short review summarized the design strategy of the purely organic room temperature phosphorescence polymers, mainly focusing on the building forms of polymers and the corresponding inherent mechanisms,and also gives some outlooks on the further exploration of this field at the end of this paper.

文摘Long-lasting phosphorescence （LLP） was observed in Ce-doped Y3Al5O12 phosphors synthesized in reducing atmosphere. The characteristic emission of the 2D–2F5/2 and 2D–2F7/2 transition of Ce3＋ in photoluminescence （PL） and LLP spectra was studied. It was interesting that the ratio between the peak areas of 2D–2F5/2 and 2D–2F 7/2 transitions in the PL spectrum was different from the ratio of that in LLP emission spectrum. And the ratios had different change regularities with increased Ce3＋ concentration. The possible reason was attributed to the defect in the YAG host,which was affected by increasing the Ce3＋ concentration. There were indications that the defect in the Ce3＋-doped YAG samples was strongly associated with oxygen vacancy. And the defect levels were studied through thermoluminescence （TL） experiment. The results showed that the trap depth was between 0.6 and 0.65 eV,and the kinetic order of the LLP was 2.

文摘Pure organic room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) has been attracting a lot interest recently. So far,many strategies have succeeded in achieving efficient organic RTP materials by increasing the rate of intersystem crossing(ISC) and suppressing non-radiative transitions. In supramolecular chemistry, the control and regulation of molecular recognition based on the role of the host and vip in supramolecular polymers matrix, has attracted much attention. Recently, researchers have successfully achieved room temperature phosphorescence of pure organic complexes through host-vip interactions. The host molecule specifically includes the phosphorescent vip to reduce non-radiative transitions and enhance room temperature phosphorescence emission. This review aims to describe the developments and achievements of pure organic room temperature phosphorescence systems through the mechanism of host-vip interactions in recent years, and demonstrates the exploration and pursuit of phosphorescent materials of researchers in different fields.

文摘A purely organic D-π-A-π-D type emitter showing thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)and room temperature phosphorescence(RTP)was designed and synthesized by utilizing the benzophenone as an acceptor and the N-phenyl-2-napthylamine as a donor moiety.It exhibits considerable TADF character in doped PMMA film and room temperature phosphorescence with a long lifetime of 74 ms at466 nm in solid state.The devices with the configuration of ITO/Mo_(2) O_(3)(4 nm)/mCP(30 nm)/mCP:x wt%NP2 BP/TmTyPB(60 nm)/LiF(1.5 nm)/AI(100 nm)were prepared by vacuum evaporation to explore their electroluminescent performance.Intere stingly,the non-doped device has obtained near-white emission with a fluorescence emission peak at 475 nm and a phosphore scence emission peak at 563 nm having the CIE coordinate of(0.23,0.32)and the maximum external quantum efficiency of 1.09%.

文摘A new aluminosilicate long-lasting phosphor with composition of NaA1SiO4：Eu2＋,Ho3＋ was synthesized and investigated. Under UV light excitation, the phosphor emitted yellow light corresponding to the characteristic emission of Eu2＋ due to 5d-4f transi- tion. Bright yellow phosphorescence sustaining for more than 30 rain was observed after ceasing the excitation. The phosphorescence intensity decay obeyed a fl decay law, indicating a tunneling electron-hole recombination process in the phosphor. Four peaks ap- peared in the thermoluminescence curve and the ones at 322 and 370 K were thought to account for the long lasting phosphorescence at room temperature. The Ho3＋ ion incorporated into the phosphor did not give any light but dramatically increased the intensities of both photoluminescence and phosphorescence via promoting defect levels in the phosphor.

文摘Room-temperature phosphorescence（RTP） materials have attracted great attention due to their involvement of excited triplet states and comparatively long decay lifetimes.In this short review,recent progress on enhancement of RTP from purely organic materials is summarized.According to the mechanism of phosphorescence emission,two principles are discussed to construct efficient RTP materials：one is promoting intersystem crossing（ISC） efficiency by using aromatic carbonyl,heavyatom,or/and heterocycle/heteroatom containing compounds;the other is suppressing intramolecular motion and intermolecular collision which can quench excited triplet states,including embedding phosphors into polymers and packing them tightly in crystals.With aforementioned strategies,RTP from purely organic materials was achieved both in fluid and rigid media.

文摘A series of novel blue long-lasting phosphorescence phosphors Sr6A118Si2037：Eu^2＋,RE^3＋ （RE3＋=Ho^3＋, Gd^3＋, Dy^3＋ and Pr^3＋） were prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction in a reductive atmosphere. Their properties were systemati- cally investigated utilizing X-ray diffraction （XRD）, photoluminescence, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence （TL） spectra. The phosphors emitted blue light that was related to the emission of E~＋ due to 5d-4f transition. Bright blue long-lasting phosphorescence （LLP） could be observed after the excitation source was switched off. For the optimized sample, the blue long-lasting phosphores- cence could last for nearly 4 h in the light perception of the dark-adapted human eye （0.32 mcd/m2）. The effects of RE3＋ ions on phosphorescence properties of the phosphors were studied, and the results showed that the co-doping of RE^3＋ ions greatly enhanced the intensity of the peak around 315 K which was related to the long lasting phosphorescence of the phosphors at room temperature and consequently improved the performance of the blue phosphorescence such as intensity and persistent time.

文摘Room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) is important in both organic electronics and encryption. Despite rapid advances, a universal approach to robust and tunable RTP materials based on amorphous polymers remains a formidable challenge. Here, we present a strategy that uses three-dimensional(3 D)confinement of carbon dots in a polymer network to achieve ultra-long lifetime phosphorescence. The RTP of the as-obtained materials was not quenched in different polar organic solvents and the lifetime of the RTP was easily tuned by adjusting the amount of crosslinking or varying the drying temperature of the 3 D molecular network. As a demonstration of potential application, as-obtained RTP materials were successfully used to prepare RTP fibres for flexible textiles. As well as bringing to light a fundamental principle for the construction of polymer materials with RTP, we have endowed traditional carbon dots and polymers with fresh features that will expand potential applications.
