However, the polymerizations based on these green monomers are to be further developed. In this work, a facile CO_(2) and alkyne-based one-pot, two-step, fourcomponent tandem polymerization was successfully established. The polymerization of CO_(2), diynes, alkyl dihalides, and primary/secondary amines can proceed under mild reaction conditions and regio-and stereoregular poly(aminoacrylate)s with good solubility and thermal stability were obtained in high yields(up to 95%). Notably, distinctly different stereoregularity of resultant poly(aminoacrylate)s was realized via using primary or secondary amines. Using the former would readily generate polymers with 100% Z-isomers, whereas the latter furnished products with over 95% E-isomers. Through different monomer combination, the polymers with tunable structures and properties were obtained.Moreover, the tetraphenylethene units containing poly(aminoacrylate)s, showing the unique aggregation-induced emission characteristics,could function as a fluorescent probe for sensitive explosive detection. Thus, this work not only develops a facile CO_(2) and alkyne-based multicomponent tandem polymerization but also provides a valuable strategy to fine-tune the polymer structures and properties, which could be potentially applied in diverse areas.展开更多

Here, for the first time, the relationship between ICLs architecture and 2 T monolithic perovskite/organic tandem device performance has been studied by investigating the change of ICLs composition layer thickness on the ICLs optical and electrical properties, sub-cells EQE properties, and tandem device J-V properties. It is revealed that the ability of ICLs on modulating the sub-cells carrier balance properties is strongly associated with its composited layers thickness, and the tandem device carrier balance properties can be reflected by the relative EQE intensity between the sub-cells. Finally, with a deep understanding of the mechanisms, rational design of ICLs can be made to benefit the tandem device development. Based on the optimized ICL a high PCE of 20.03% is achieved.展开更多

In this paper, Sn-doped TiO_(2)(Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2)) ultrathin nanoparticles are prepared for electron transport layer(ETL) by solution process. The ultrathin Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2) nanocrystals have greatly improved interface contact due to the facile film formation, good conductivity and high work function. The all-inorganic inverted NiOx/CsPbI_(2)Br/Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2)p-i-n device shows a power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 14.0%. We tested the heat stability, light stability and light-heat stability. After stored in 85℃ for 65 days, the inverted PSCs still retains 98% of initial efficiency. Under continuous standard one-sun illumination for 600 h,there is no efficiency decay, and under continuous illumination at 85℃ for 200 h, the device still retains 85% of initial efficiency. The 1.0 cm^(2) device of inverted structure shows a PCE of up to 11.2%. The ultrathin Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2)is promising to improve the scalability and stability and thus increase the commercial prospect.展开更多

The amorphous nature of the MG was fully retained after the compression test. The partial radial distribution functions (PRDFs) of the MG structure obtained from the atomic model using reverse Monte Carlo and density functional theory optimization display that the peaks of the first nearest-neighbour distances for Cu-Cu, Hf-Cu and Hf-Hf atomic pairs were located at 2.56 A, 2.78 A and 3.23 A, respectively. The wide distribution of PRDF for Hf-Hf atomic pair explained the high plasticity of the material.展开更多

To enhance its emission efficiency in solid state, four tetraphenylethene(TPE)units were attached to the four meso-positions of TPP core via ester group through a facile and efficient route. The derived compound(4(TPE-COO)-TPP) emits red fluorescence(peak at 655 nm) with a good quantum efficiency(F) of 7.5%, which is much higher than that of TPP(Φ～ 0.1%). In molecular aggregate formed in tetrahydrofuran(THF) and water mixtures, 4(TPE-COO)-TPP has a relative high F of 12%. The evidently subdued ACQ behavior can be ascribed to the propeller shape and bulky size of the TPE units,which prevent the close packing and strong p-p interaction of TPP cores. The loose molecular packing and weak interchromophore interactions were validated by different characterization methods including UV-visible absorption, steady state and transient fluorescence spectroscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscope observations. It is noted that 4(TPE-COO)-TPP has an emission efficiency of 14.4% in dilute THF solution. This is due to the conjugation break between the TPP and TPE moieties, the rotational and vibrational motions of the phenyl groups cannot quench the fluorescence of 4(TPE-COO)-TPP.展开更多

The temporary shape of hydrogel was fixed within 20 s in Na OH solution by the tris-complex crosslinking of metalligand complex between Fe3＋ ions and catechol groups, while the permanent shape was recovered completely in HCl solution within 60 s upon the change from tris-complex to mono-complex. The hydrogel showed unique spontaneous actuation behavior. It could curl spontaneously without further external force deformation when immersed in Na OH solution again after the first shape recovery in HCl solution. This might be attributed to the competitive result of swelling and additional tris-complex crosslinking formation when immersed in Na OH solution. In addition, the hydrogels also had proper modulus, elongation ratio and tensile strength. Such hydrogel provides a new candidate material for designing soft actuators and robots modulated with spontaneous actuating.展开更多

In this work, the radial distribution functions(RDFs) of amorphous structure of Zr_50Pd_40Al_10 metallic glasses were firstly measured by electron diffraction, and then Reverse Monte Carlo(RMC) optimization accompanied by density functional theory(DFT) calculations. The amorphous structure has not only short-range order but also good medium-range order. In the RDFs of its amorphous structure, the first and the second peaks are located at 2.96 ? and 4.79 ?, respectively. Partial radical distribution functions(PRDFs) show that the contributions of the first and the second nearest-neighbor distances of various atom pairs to the G(r) peak values, and the first nearest-neighbor distances of Pd–Zr and Zr–Zr atom pairs are the sources of main G(r) peak values between 2? and 6?. The competition mechanism for generating the Pd_25Zr_55 Al_20 amorphous phase and the intermetallic crystalline phase Pd_11Zr_9 is associated with the differences of atomic radius, the proportion, and the melting point of different atoms, as well as the heat of mixing between atoms, leading to an equilibrium state of the two phases. Accordingly, a composite system with intertwined nanocrystals and amorphous phases is in turn formed, and improves the stability of the material.展开更多

文摘Cyclopentadithiophene(CPDT)-based polymers have emerged as promising research platforms for multi⁃color electrochromic materials due to their favorable color tunability.However,insufficient cyclic stability has hindered their translation into practical applications.In this study,two CPDT-based conjugated polymers with distinct substituent groups were designed and synthesized:PCPDT-Ph(copolymerized with unsubstituted benzene units)and PCPDT-PhOMe(copolymerized with dimethoxy-substituted benzene units).The influence of dimethoxy substitution on the electrochromic properties and stability of the polymers was systematically investigated.Electro⁃chemical and electrochromic characterizations demonstrated that the electron-donating ability of the dimethoxy groups not only effectively regulated the polymer’s intrinsic properties but also significantly enhanced its cycling stability.Compared with PCPDT-Ph,PCPDT-PhOMe exhibited a reduced onset oxidation potential from 0.66 V(vs.Ag/AgCl)to 0.46 V,an upshifted highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)energy level,and a narrowed optical band gap(calculated theoretically)from 1.73 eV to 1.61 eV.The PCPDT-PhOMe film showed magenta in the neutral state and transparency in the oxidized state,with a color difference(ΔE*a b)of 46.36.The coloring/bleaching response times were measured as 0.7/0.6 s,and the optical contrast retention reached 84%after 1000 cycles,outperforming the PCPDT-Ph film(79.5%retention after 500 cycles).Additionally,it exhibited a coloration efficiency of 543.9 cm^(2)/C,demonstrating favorable comprehensive electrochromic performance.Electrochromic devices assembled with PCPDT-PhOMe achieved reversible switching between magenta and transparent states,with a response time of≤1.0 s and a contrast retention of 71%after 30000 cycles,indicating good stability.This work clarifies the role of substituent electronic effects in regulating the electrochromic properties of CPDT-based polymers,providing experimental basis and theoretical support for the molecular design of solution-processable thiophene-based electrochromic materials.Furthermore,it validates the potential application of PCPDT-PhOMe in smart windows,electronic displays,and other related fields.

文摘Formamidinium lead bromide(FAPbBr_(3))perovskite nanocrystals(NCs)are promising for display and lighting due to their ultra-pure green emission.However,the thermal quenching will exacerbate their performance degradation in practical applications,which is a common issue for halide perovskites.Here,we reported the heat-resistant FAPbBr_(3)NCs prepared by a ligand-engineered room-temperature synthesis strategy.An aromatic amine,specificallyβ-phenylethylamine(PEA)or 3-fluorophenylethylamine(3-F-PEA),was incoporated as the short-chain ligand to expedite the crystallization rate and control the size distribution of FAPbBr_(3)NCs.Employing this ligand engineering approach,we synthesized high quality FAPbBr_(3)NCs with uniform grain size and reduced long-chain alkyl ligands,resulting in substantially suppressed thermal quenching and enhanced carrier transportation in the perovskite NCs films.Most notably,more than 90%of the room temperature PL intensity in the 3-F-PEA modified FAPbBr_(3)NCs film was preserved at 380 K.Consequently,we fabricated ultra-pure green EL devices with a room temperature external quantum efficiency(EQE)as high as 21.9%at the luminance of above 1,000 cd m^(-2),and demonstrated less than 10%loss in EQE at 343 K.This study introduces a novel room temperature method to synthesize efficient FAPbBr_(3)NCs with exceptional thermal stability,paving the way for advanced optoelectronic device applications.

文摘Dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)possessing strong solvency and high boiling point is a very important aprotic polar solvent in organic and polymer synthesis.Notably,it is also a useful synthon in organic chemistry.However,the direct incorporation of DMSO in polymer synthesis remains challenging.In this work,DMSO was successfully converted to nitrogen-containing heterocyclic polymers as a monomer via multicomponent polymerizations(MCPs)with dialdehydes and diamines in the presence of K_(2)S_(2)O_(8)/t-BuOK at 120℃in 6 h.A series of poly(phenylquinoline)s with high M_(w)values(up to 5.11×10^(4))were obtained in satisfactory yields(up to 82%),performing good solubility,good thermal and morphological stability as well as excellent film-forming ability.The thin films of poly(phenylquinoline)s exhibit high refractive index value in a wide wavelength range of 400–1700 nm.Thus,this work not only enriches the family of MCPs but also provides an efficient strategy for the conversion of DMSO into functional polymeric materials that are potentially applicable in diverse areas.

文摘The flame-retardant properties of polyurethane(PU)containing ammonium polyphosphate(APP)and aluminum hydroxide(ATH)were investigated.Moreover,the flame retardant performance was investigated through thermogravimetric analysis,limiting oxygen index(LOI),vertical combustion(UL 94),and cone calorimeter.When 15 wt%APP and 5 wt%ATH were added together,the PU/15%APP/5%ATH sample shows better thermal stability and flame-retardant properties.When 15 wt%APP and 5 wt%ATH were added together,the LOI value of the PU/15%APP/5%ATH sample was 30.5%,and UL 94 V-0 rating was attained.Compared with PU,the peak heat release rate(PHRR),total heat release(THR),and average effective heat combustion(av-EHC)of the PU/15%APP/5%ATH sample decreased by 43.1%,21.0%,and 29.4%,respectively.In addition,the flame-retardant mechanism was investigated through cone calorimeter.The APP/ATH addition simultaneously exerted condensed phase and gas phase flame retardant effects.APP and ATH have synergistic flame retardant properties.

文摘Energy transfer among the co-doped activators is an efficient route to achieve color-tunable emission in inorganic phosphors.Herein,photoluminescence tuning from blue to cyan has been achieved in the Lu2MgAl4 SiO12;Eu^2+,Ce^3+phosphors by varying the Ce^3+concentration with a fixed Eu^2+content.With the further introduction of a Mn^2+-Si^4+couple into the host lattice,the emission color can be tuned to red through the energy transfer of Eu^2+and Mn^2+.The luminescence properties and the energy transfer mechanism were studied in detail.The energy transfer from Eu^2+to Ce^3+is certified as a dipolequadrupole interaction with the energy transfer efficiency of 41.4%and Eu^2+to Mn^2+belongs to a dipole-dipole interaction with the energy transfer efficiency of 94.3%.The results imply that this singlephased Lu2MgAl4 SiO12:Eu^2+,Ce^3+,Mn^2+phosphor has a potential prospect for application in near-UV chip pumped white light emitting diodes.

文摘Direct,in situ selective detection of intracellular formaldehyde(FA)is of great significance for understanding its function in FA-related diseases.Herein,red carbon dots(RCD)are reported as label-free two-photon fluorescent nanoprobes for detecting and imaging of FA.Upon addition of FA,the-NH2 groups of RCD could quickly and specially react with aldehydes to form Schiff base and then the strong fluorescence of RCD with blue-shift emission is recovery due to the destruction of the hydrogen bond interaction between RCD and water.In addition,the nanoprobes exhibit outsta nding photo stability,rapid response(<1 min),high sensitivity(~9.9μmol/L)and excellent selectivity toward FA over other aldehyde group compounds.Notably,owing to the good cell-membrane permeability and biocompatibility,as well as the large two-photon absorption cross-section,the as-prepared RCD can be used as label-free nanoprobes for selectively detecting and imaging FA in living cells and zebrafishes through one-photon and two-photon excitation.Moreover,RCD could stain the tissue of zebrafishes at depths interval of up to 240μm under two-photon excitation.This research implied that RCD are promising tools for directly and in situ imaging FA in vivo,thus providing critical insights into FA-related pathophysiological processes.

文摘Green monomers, such as carbon dioxide(CO_(2)), are closely related to our daily life and highly desirable to be transferred to functional polymers with diverse structures and versatile properties because they are abundant, cheap, nontoxic, renewable, and sustainable. However, the polymerizations based on these green monomers are to be further developed. In this work, a facile CO_(2) and alkyne-based one-pot, two-step, fourcomponent tandem polymerization was successfully established. The polymerization of CO_(2), diynes, alkyl dihalides, and primary/secondary amines can proceed under mild reaction conditions and regio-and stereoregular poly(aminoacrylate)s with good solubility and thermal stability were obtained in high yields(up to 95%). Notably, distinctly different stereoregularity of resultant poly(aminoacrylate)s was realized via using primary or secondary amines. Using the former would readily generate polymers with 100% Z-isomers, whereas the latter furnished products with over 95% E-isomers. Through different monomer combination, the polymers with tunable structures and properties were obtained.Moreover, the tetraphenylethene units containing poly(aminoacrylate)s, showing the unique aggregation-induced emission characteristics,could function as a fluorescent probe for sensitive explosive detection. Thus, this work not only develops a facile CO_(2) and alkyne-based multicomponent tandem polymerization but also provides a valuable strategy to fine-tune the polymer structures and properties, which could be potentially applied in diverse areas.

文摘Azide-alkyne click polymerization has become a powerful tool for polymer synthesis.However,the click polymerization between internal alkynes and azides is rarely utilized to prepare functional polymers.In this work,the polymerization reactions of activated internal alkyne monomers of tris(2-butynoate)s(1)with tetraphenylethene-containing diazides(2)were performed in dimethylformamide(DMF)under simple heating,affording four hyperbranched poly(methyltriazolylcarboxylate)s(hb-PMTCs)with high molecular weights(A4W up to 2.4 x 104)and regioregularities(up to 83.9%)in good yields.The hb-PMTCs are soluble in common organic solvents,and thermally stable with 5%weight loss temperatures up to 400℃.They are non-emissive in dilute solution,but become highly emissive in aggregated state,exhibiting aggregationinduced emission characteristics.The polymers can generate fluorescent photopatterns with high resolution,and can work as fluorescent sensors to detect nitroaromatic explosive with high sensitivity.

文摘As one of the core parts of two-terminal(2 T) monolithic tandem photovoltaics, the interconnecting layers(ICLs) play a critical role in modulating the carrier transport and recombination between the sub-cells,and thus influencing the tandem device performance. Here, for the first time, the relationship between ICLs architecture and 2 T monolithic perovskite/organic tandem device performance has been studied by investigating the change of ICLs composition layer thickness on the ICLs optical and electrical properties, sub-cells EQE properties, and tandem device J-V properties. It is revealed that the ability of ICLs on modulating the sub-cells carrier balance properties is strongly associated with its composited layers thickness, and the tandem device carrier balance properties can be reflected by the relative EQE intensity between the sub-cells. Finally, with a deep understanding of the mechanisms, rational design of ICLs can be made to benefit the tandem device development. Based on the optimized ICL a high PCE of 20.03% is achieved.

文摘All-inorganic perovskite solar cells(PSCs) have potential to pass the stability international standard of IEC61215:2016 but cannot deliver high performance and stability due to the poor interface contact. In this paper, Sn-doped TiO_(2)(Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2)) ultrathin nanoparticles are prepared for electron transport layer(ETL) by solution process. The ultrathin Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2) nanocrystals have greatly improved interface contact due to the facile film formation, good conductivity and high work function. The all-inorganic inverted NiOx/CsPbI_(2)Br/Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2)p-i-n device shows a power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 14.0%. We tested the heat stability, light stability and light-heat stability. After stored in 85℃ for 65 days, the inverted PSCs still retains 98% of initial efficiency. Under continuous standard one-sun illumination for 600 h,there is no efficiency decay, and under continuous illumination at 85℃ for 200 h, the device still retains 85% of initial efficiency. The 1.0 cm^(2) device of inverted structure shows a PCE of up to 11.2%. The ultrathin Ti_(1-x)Sn_(x)O_(2)is promising to improve the scalability and stability and thus increase the commercial prospect.

文摘Electron diffraction was used to study the local atomic structure of Cu49Hf42Al9 metallic glasses (MGs). The amorphous nature of the MG was fully retained after the compression test. The partial radial distribution functions (PRDFs) of the MG structure obtained from the atomic model using reverse Monte Carlo and density functional theory optimization display that the peaks of the first nearest-neighbour distances for Cu-Cu, Hf-Cu and Hf-Hf atomic pairs were located at 2.56 A, 2.78 A and 3.23 A, respectively. The wide distribution of PRDF for Hf-Hf atomic pair explained the high plasticity of the material.

文摘Tetraphenylporphyrin(TPP) is a typical red-emitting luminogen showing evident aggregation caused quenching(ACQ) effect. To enhance its emission efficiency in solid state, four tetraphenylethene(TPE)units were attached to the four meso-positions of TPP core via ester group through a facile and efficient route. The derived compound(4(TPE-COO)-TPP) emits red fluorescence(peak at 655 nm) with a good quantum efficiency(F) of 7.5%, which is much higher than that of TPP(Φ～ 0.1%). In molecular aggregate formed in tetrahydrofuran(THF) and water mixtures, 4(TPE-COO)-TPP has a relative high F of 12%. The evidently subdued ACQ behavior can be ascribed to the propeller shape and bulky size of the TPE units,which prevent the close packing and strong p-p interaction of TPP cores. The loose molecular packing and weak interchromophore interactions were validated by different characterization methods including UV-visible absorption, steady state and transient fluorescence spectroscope, X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscope observations. It is noted that 4(TPE-COO)-TPP has an emission efficiency of 14.4% in dilute THF solution. This is due to the conjugation break between the TPP and TPE moieties, the rotational and vibrational motions of the phenyl groups cannot quench the fluorescence of 4(TPE-COO)-TPP.

文摘The dopamine containing hydrogels with rapid responsive shape memory capability were synthesized by a one-pot method. The temporary shape of hydrogel was fixed within 20 s in Na OH solution by the tris-complex crosslinking of metalligand complex between Fe3＋ ions and catechol groups, while the permanent shape was recovered completely in HCl solution within 60 s upon the change from tris-complex to mono-complex. The hydrogel showed unique spontaneous actuation behavior. It could curl spontaneously without further external force deformation when immersed in Na OH solution again after the first shape recovery in HCl solution. This might be attributed to the competitive result of swelling and additional tris-complex crosslinking formation when immersed in Na OH solution. In addition, the hydrogels also had proper modulus, elongation ratio and tensile strength. Such hydrogel provides a new candidate material for designing soft actuators and robots modulated with spontaneous actuating.

文摘Multicomponent polymerizations(MCPs)are powerful tools to synthesize functional polymers with great structural diversity,low cost and high efficiency,which usually generate single polymer product.Herein,a robust one-pot diamines,CS_(2)and monoisocyanide-participated catalyst-free polymerization was developed at room temperature to produce polythiourea and thioformamide simultaneously in equal equivalent,which was featured with cheap monomers,simple operation and mild condition,affording various polythioureas with high Mws of up to 4.75×10^(4)g/mol in high yields of up to 98%.Polythioureas with varied chain composition and sequence-controlled structure could be synthesized in 62 g-scale from copolymerization or multicomponent tandem polymerization,enabling facile tuning of thermal property,crystallinity,mechanical property,and fluorescence.The abundant irregular hydrogen bonds endowed the polythioureas excellent glassy state self-healing property at room temperature or below 0℃.This polymerization provided an efficient and economic approach to access functional polythioureas.

文摘Zr-based Zr_50Pd_40Al_10 metallic glasses has not only crystalline phases of about 5 nm in diameter but also amorphous phases. In this work, the radial distribution functions(RDFs) of amorphous structure of Zr_50Pd_40Al_10 metallic glasses were firstly measured by electron diffraction, and then Reverse Monte Carlo(RMC) optimization accompanied by density functional theory(DFT) calculations. The amorphous structure has not only short-range order but also good medium-range order. In the RDFs of its amorphous structure, the first and the second peaks are located at 2.96 ? and 4.79 ?, respectively. Partial radical distribution functions(PRDFs) show that the contributions of the first and the second nearest-neighbor distances of various atom pairs to the G(r) peak values, and the first nearest-neighbor distances of Pd–Zr and Zr–Zr atom pairs are the sources of main G(r) peak values between 2? and 6?. The competition mechanism for generating the Pd_25Zr_55 Al_20 amorphous phase and the intermetallic crystalline phase Pd_11Zr_9 is associated with the differences of atomic radius, the proportion, and the melting point of different atoms, as well as the heat of mixing between atoms, leading to an equilibrium state of the two phases. Accordingly, a composite system with intertwined nanocrystals and amorphous phases is in turn formed, and improves the stability of the material.

文摘By using 6,6-((sulfonylbis(4,1-phenylene)bis(azanediyl))bis(thiophen-2-ylm-ethylene))bis6H-di-benzo[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphinine 6-oxide(DOPO-N)as phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant,the polyurea(PUA)with flame retardant properties(PUA/DOPO-N)was prepared.In addition,organically modified montmorillonite(OMMT)and magnesium hydroxide(MH)were used as co-effectors respectively,and the flame retardant PUA(PUA/DOPO-N/OMMT and PUA/DOPO-N/MH)were also prepared.Thermal properties,flame retardant properties,flame retardant mechanism and mechanical properties of PUA/DOPO-N,PUA/DOPO-N/OMMT and PUA/DOPO-N/MH were investigated by thermogravimetric(TG)analysis,limiting oxygen index(LOI),UL 94,cone calorimeter test,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and tensile test.The results show that the LOI value of PUA/20%DOPO-N,PUA/18%DOPO-N/2%OMMT and PUA/15%DOPO-N/5%MH are 27.1%,27.7%,and 28.3%,respectively,and UL 94 V-0 rating is attained.Compared with PUA,the peak heat release rate(pk-HRR),total heat release(THR)and average effective heat combustion(av-EHC)of PUA/20%DOPO-N,PUA/18%DOPO-N/2%OMMT and PUA/15%DOPO-N/5%MH decrease significantly.SEM results indicate that the residual chars of PUA/20%DOPO-N,PUA/18%DOPO-N/2%OMMT and PUA/15%DOPO-N/5%MH are completer and more compact.The complex of DOPO-N/OMMT and DOPO-N/MH have synergistic flame retardancy.The mechanical properties of PUA can be improved by the addition of DOPO-N,DOPO-N/OMMT and DOPO-N/MH,respectively.The insulation performance test shows that the volume resistivity of PUA/20%DOPO-N is 6.25×10^(16)Ω.cm.Furthermore,by using modified boron nitride(MBN)as heat dissipating material,the complex of PUA/MBN was prepared,and the thermal conductivity of PUA/MBN was investigated.The thermal conductivity of PUA/8%MBN complex coating at room temperature is 0.166 W/(M·K),which is a 163%improvement over pure PUA.

文摘Electrodeposition is an old and effective method for the fabrication of organic films.Though electrodeposited organic films have been widely used in various applications,highly luminescent films have been a great challenge because the electrochemically doped state may strongly quench the fluorescence.In the first part of this review,the organic electrodeposition techniques,along with general electropolymerization and other special electrodepositions are introduced.In the second part of the review,we describe how to electrochemically fabricate luminescent films for organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).With the rational molecular design and well-controlled electrodeposition process,we have not only demonstrated high-performance OLEDs,but also paved a promising way to practice active-matrix OLEDs(AMOLEDs)and super-resolution OLEDs.In particular,RGB 3×3 array OLEDs based on active-matrix substrates,RGB passive-matrix OLEDs(PMOLEDs)with a resolution of 210 ppi,and monochromatic OLEDs with a super-resolution of 2822 ppi have been successfully fabricated.It is highly anticipated that the organic electrodeposition technology is of comparable or perhaps even higher contenders in manufacturing and downscaling OLEDs and AMOLEDs with low-cost and high-resolution for the human-computer interaction fields such as augmented reality(AR),virtual reality(VR),etc.
文摘Head-to-tail bonded perylene bisimide(PBI)dyads with different branched alkyl chains substituted at the terminal imide position show various stacking modes,which results in different effects on the excitonic processes and electron transportation.The dyad bearing branched alkyl chains with the branching sites close to the imide positions forms homogeneously amorphous state,while with branching sites being away from the imide positions the PBI core tend to stack with multiple modes.There are fewer energy trapping sites in the homogeneously amorphous state,but in the multiple stacking system the strongπ-πinteractions give more trapping sites.Our study demonstrates that the aggregation state of PBI-based acceptors plays an important role in the performances of organic solar cells(OSCs).Multiple stacking needs to be diminished to avoid the constrained exciton dissociation and retarded charge transport in the active layer.
文摘Eu^(2+)-doped Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)ionic conductor possesses superior thermal quenching(TQ)resistance,which is considered as a promising phosphor for high-power lighting applications.Yet the underlying mechanism of negative thermal quenching(NTQ)is not fully understood.In this study,we focus on upconversion(UC)and downshifting(DS)luminescence of Yb^(3+)/Er^(3+)with f-f transition rather than susceptible d-f transition of Eu^(2+)in Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3),aiming to get a more insightful view.The results show that thermally accelerated dynamic defects/ions contributes to the significant negative thermal quenching(NTQ)of UC luminescence and thermally stabilized DS luminescence by promoting the radiative transition and suppressing the non-radiative transition.The UC process with slow population rate is more susceptible to perturbation of Na+migration process with time scale equivalent to that of the former,resulting in evident NTQ of UC luminescence.This research opens an avenue for understanding the NTQ mechanism of luminescence via dynamic defects/ions.
