Water-stable, biocompatible, and highly luminescent perovskite nanocrystals-embedded fiber-based paper for anti-counterfeiting applications.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we present a promising and facile approach toward the fabrication of non-toxic, water-stable, and eco-friendly luminescent fiber paper composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer and CsPbBr₃@SiO₂ core-shell perovskite nanocrystals. PCL-perovskite fiber paper was fabricated using a conventional electrospinning process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) clearly revealed incorporation of CsPbBr₃@SiO₂ nanocrystals in the fibers, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that incorporation of CsPbBr₃@SiO₂ nanocrystals did not affect the surface and diameter of the PCL-perovskite fibers. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and contact angle measurements have demonstrated that the PCL-perovskite fibers exhibit excellent thermal and water stability. The fabricated PCL-perovskite fiber paper exhibited a bright green emission centered at 520 nm upon excitation by ultra-violet (UV) light (374 nm). We have demonstrated that fluorescent PCL-perovskite fiber paper is a promising candidate for anti-counterfeiting applications because various patterns can be printed on the paper, which only become visible after exposure to UV light at 365 nm. Cell proliferation tests revealed that the PCL-perovskite fibers are cytocompatibility. Consequently, they may be suitable for biocompatible anti-counterfeiting. The present study reveals that PCL-perovskite fibers may pave way toward next generation biomedical probe and anti-counterfeiting applications.

Project description:Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is causing severe environmental problems due to its high consumption and non-biodegradability. Upcycling waste EPS into high value-added functional materials is highly advisable in terms of sustainability and environmental concerns. Meanwhile, it is imperative to develop new anti-counterfeiting materials with high security against increasingly high-tech counterfeiting. Developing UV-excited dual-mode luminescent advanced anti-counterfeiting materials that can be excited by commonly used commercial UV light sources (such as 254 nm and 365 nm wavelengths) remains a challenge. Herein, UV-excited dual-mode multicolor luminescent electrospun fiber membranes were fabricated from waste EPS by co-doping with a Eu3+ complex and a Tb3+ complex via electrospinning. The SEM results prove that the lanthanide complexes are uniformly dispersed in the PS matrix. The luminescence analysis results suggest that all the as-prepared fiber membranes with the different mass ratios of the two complexes can exhibit the characteristic emission of Eu3+ ions and Tb3+ ions under UV light excitation. The corresponding fiber membrane samples can exhibit intense visible luminescence with different colors under UV lights. Moreover, each membrane sample can display different color luminescence irradiated with UV light at 254 nm and 365 nm, respectively, e.g. show excellent UV-excited dual-mode luminescent properties. This is owing to the different UV absorption properties of the two lanthanide complexes doped in the fiber membrane. Finally, the fiber membranes with different color luminescence from green light to red light were achieved by tuning the mass ratio of the two complexes in the PS matrix and changing UV irradiation wavelengths. The as-prepared fiber membranes with tunable multicolor luminescence are very promising for high-level anti-counterfeiting applications. This work is very meaningful not only to upcycle waste EPS to high value-added functional products but also to develop advanced anti-counterfeiting materials.
