Project description:Compared with their multicomponent analogues, single-component white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) can eliminate the disadvantages such as high cost, fluorescence self-absorption, poor machinability, and reproducibility, but how to produce white light with high quality in a single-phase host is still a big challenge. In the work, a series of Eu3+/Tb3+-doped Gd(pic)3 and La(pic)3 are obtained through solvothermal conditions with picolinic acid (Hpic) and lanthanide nitrate. Researchers could regularly modulate the emitting color of phosphors by adjusting the excitation wavelength as well as the relative concentration of Ln3+ ions to obtain white light. Different luminance values [especially quantum yield (QYs)] between host materials Gd(pic)3 and La(pic)3 are investigated, which shows that doping of Eu3+ into Gd(pic)3 can improve QY to a great extent. By employing Gd0.9512Eu0.0488(pic)3 and Gd0.9141Eu0.0451Tb0.0408(pic)3 as phosphors, we successfully fabricated two excellent near-ultraviolet (365 nm) WLEDs with CIE chromaticity coordinates (0.3052, 0.3462) and (0.3007, 0.3448), relatively low color-correlated temperature (6755, 7001 K), and high color rendering index (R a = 71.8, 72.9). This approach may open a new prospect for developing single-phase near-ultraviolet phosphors with high efficiency.

Project description:Single-phased, high-color-rendering index (CRI) white-light phosphors are emerging as potential phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and as an alternative to blends of tricolor phosphors. However, it is a challenge to create a high CRI white light from a single-doped activator. Here, we present a high CRI (Ra = 91) white-light phosphor, Sr5(PO4)3-x(BO3)xCl:Eu2+, composed of Sr5(PO4)3Cl as the beginning member and Sr5(BO3)3Cl as the end member. This work utilized the solid-solution method, and tunable Eu2+ emission was achieved. Color-tunable Eu2+ emissions in response to structural variation were observed in Sr5(PO4)3-x(BO3)xCl solid solutions. This was further confirmed using X-ray Rietveld refinement, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and in the photoluminescence spectra. The color-tunable emissions included the white light that originated from the combination of the blue emission of Sr5(PO4)3Cl:Eu2+ and an induced Eu2+ yellow emission at approximately 550 nm in the solid solution. Importantly, the white-light phosphors showed a greater R9 = 90.2 under excitation at 365 nm. This result has rarely been reported in the literature and is greater than that of (R9 = 14.3) commercial Y3Al5O12:Ce3+-based WLEDs. These findings demonstrate the great potential of Sr5(PO4)3-x(BO3)xCl:0.04Eu2+ as a white-light phosphor for near-UV phosphor-converted WLEDs. These results also provide a shortcut for developing a high CRI white-light phosphor from a single Eu2+-doped compound.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) has great potential in non-invasive detection, while the discovery of tunable broadband NIR phosphor still remains a challenge. Here, we report that Cr3+-activated LiIn2SbO6 exhibits a broad emission band ranging from 780 to 1400 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 225 nm upon 492 nm excitation. The emission peaks are tuned from 970 to 1020 nm together with considerable broadening of FWHM (∼285 nm) via Li/Na substitution. Depending on Yb3+ co-doping, a stronger NIR fluorescence peak of Yb3+ appears with improved thermal resistance, which is ascribed to efficient energy transfer from Cr3+ to Yb3+. An NIR pc-LED package has been finally designed and demonstrated a remarkable ability to penetrate pork tissues (∼2 cm) so that the insertion depth of a needle can be observed, indicating that the phosphor can be applied in non-destructive monitoring.

Project description:This paper proposes a new paradigm in polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) fabrication by using a uniform electrosprayed microparticle film as the active layer. Among the seven electrospraying parameters analyzed, three crucial parameters are statistically identified and optimized to obtain thin electrosprayed microparticle layers. Using optimized electrospraying conditions, single-color red-emitting PLED (MEH-PPV) with a peak current density of 16.1 mA/mm2 under a 13.5 V bias and a peak external quantum efficiency of 3.2% are successfully fabricated. Finally, a combinatorial approach is implemented using both MEH-PPV (red-emitting) and F8BT (green-emitting) polymer microparticles at different mixing ratios to tune the emission spectrum of the devices. As such, it has been demonstrated that hybrid multilayer films using different organic materials with nonorthogonal solvents can be produced using this new approach. The parameter analysis and color-tunable properties pave the way towards white light PLED fabrication.

Project description:α-CsPbI3 nanocrystals (NCs) with poor stability prevent their wide applications in optoelectronic fields. Ca2+ (1.00 Å) as a new B-site doping ion can successfully boost CsPbI3 NC performance with both improved phase stability and optoelectronic properties. With a Ca2+/Pb2+ ratio of 0.40%, both phase and photoluminescence (PL) stability could be greatly enhanced. Facilitated by increased tolerance factor, the cubic phase of its solid film could be maintained after 58 days in ambient condition or 4 h accelerated aging process at 120°C. The PL stability of its solution could be preserved to 83% after 147 days in ambient condition. Even using UV light to accelerate aging, the T50 of PL could boost 1.8-folds as compared to CsPbI3 NCs. Because Ca2+ doping can dramatically decrease defect densities of films and reduce hole injection barriers, the red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) exhibited about triple enhancement for maximum the external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 7.8% and 2.2 times enhancement for half-lifetime of LED up to 85 min. We believe it is promising to further explore high-quality CsPbI3 NC LEDs via a Ca2+-doping strategy.

Project description:Metal halide perovskites are attracting great interest for the fabrication of light-emitting devices encompassing light-emitting diodes, lasers, and scintillators. As the field develops, perovskite doping emerges as a promising way to enrich the material functionalities and enhance the luminescence yield and tunability. While Mn+2 addition has been well explored, doping with lanthanides has received less attention, even though their intense and line-like luminescence is interesting for a wide range of applications. In this work, we study the doping of NMA2PbBr4 layered perovskites with Eu3+ and Eu3+ tetrakis β-diketonate complex. By exploiting the antenna effect of the naphthalene-based functional cation (NMA = 1-naphtylmethylammonium), direct sensitization of Eu3+ is obtained; nevertheless, it is not very efficient due to the non-optimal energy level alignment with the resonance acceptor level of the lanthanide. Protection of Eu3+ in the form of tetrakis β-diketonate complex grants a more ideal coordination geometry and energetic landscape for the energy transfer to europium in the perovskite matrix, allowing for a nearly 30-fold improvement in luminescence yield. This work sets the basis for new synthetic strategies for the design of functional perovskite/lanthanide host-guest systems with improved luminescence properties.

Project description:The inherent single narrow emission peak and fast anion exchange process of cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals severely limited its application in white light-emitting diodes. Previous studies have shown that composite structures can passivate surface defects of NCs and improve the stability of perovskite materials, but complex post-treatment processes commonly lead to dissolution of NCs. In this study, CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs was in-situ grown in TiO2 hollow shells doped with Eu3+ ions by a modified thermal injection method to prepare CsPb(Cl/Br)3/TiO2:Eu3+ composites with direct excitation of white light without additional treatment. Among them, the well-crystalline TiO2 shells acted as both a substrate for the dopant, avoiding the direct doping of Eu3+ into the interior of NCs to affect the crystal structure of the perovskite materials, and also as a protection layer to isolate the contact between PL quenching molecules and NCs, which significantly improves the stability. Further, the WLED prepared using the composites had bright white light emission, luminous efficiency of 87.39 lm/W, and long-time operating stability, which provided new options for the development of perovskite devices.

Project description:Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted extensive attention for photoelectric device application due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the toxicity of lead has hindered their commercialization. Consequently, lead free cesium metal halide NCs have been developed, but these materials suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and poor stability. Here, a new class of lead-free non-perovskite blue-emitting cesium bromine (CsBr) and cesium iodine (CsI) halide NCs are realized by zinc doping. High PLQYs of 79.05% and 78.95% are achieved by CsBr:Zn and CsI:Zn NCs, respectively, attributed to the improved local structural order and reduced strain between the lattices of the NCs after storing under ambient conditions for 20 to 30 days. Moreover, zinc doped cesium halide NCs show excellent air stability for at least 50 days. Our results for zinc doped cesium halide NCs have shown a new avenue to fabricate lead-free halide NCs for blue lighting and display applications.

Project description:We synthesized a series of double perovskite Eu3+-activated Gd2ZnTiO6 red-emitting phosphors by a solid-state reaction route and analyzed their morphology, crystallinity, luminescent properties, and thermal stability. Under 270 nm of excitation, the prominent emission peak of the phosphors was found to be located in the red region with the central wavelength of 613 nm corresponding to the intra-4f transition of Eu3+ ions from the 5D0 to 7F2 level. The optimum concentration of the activator was determined to be 7 mol%. The studied phosphors also exhibited good thermal stability with the activation energy of 0.233 eV. The white color emitted from the ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode device which was coated by commercial blue-/green-emitting phosphors and Gd1.86ZnTiO6:0.14Eu3+ phosphors exhibited a high color rendering index of 82.9. Furthermore, the cathodoluminescence performance of the resultant phosphors was also investigated in detail. These characteristics of Gd2-2x ZnTiO6:2xEu3+ phosphors make them potential candidates for UV-based white light-emitting diodes and field emission displays.

Project description:Colloidal CsPbX3 (X = Br, Cl, and I) perovskite nanocrystals exhibit tunable bandgaps over the entire visible spectrum and high photoluminescence quantum yields in the green and red regions. However, the lack of highly efficient blue-emitting perovskite nanocrystals limits their development for optoelectronic applications. Herein, neodymium (III) (Nd3+) doped CsPbBr3 nanocrystals are prepared through the ligand-assisted reprecipitation method at room temperature with tunable photoemission from green to deep blue. A blue-emitting nanocrystal with a central wavelength at 459 nm, an exceptionally high photoluminescence quantum yield of 90%, and a spectral width of 19 nm is achieved. First principles calculations reveal that the increase in photoluminescence quantum yield upon doping is driven by an enhancement of the exciton binding energy due to increased electron and hole effective masses and an increase in oscillator strength due to shortening of the Pb-Br bond. Putting these results together, an all-perovskite white light-emitting diode is successfully fabricated, demonstrating that B-site composition engineering is a reliable strategy to further exploit the perovskite family for wider optoelectronic applications.
