一种新的橙红色长余辉荧光材料Y2O2S∶Sm3+

铜激活的硫化锌(ZnS∶Cu)和铕激活的硫化钙(CaS∶Eu)是最早获得应用的蓝色和红色长余辉材料. 随后, 相继发现了铝酸盐体系和硅酸盐体系两大类长余辉荧光材料[1～3]. 这两类长余辉荧光材料在发光亮度、余辉时间、稳定性方面都较前述硫化物系列长余辉荧光材料有很大提高, 从而具有非常广阔的应用前景和应用范围[4～6]. 但这两类长余辉荧光材料的发光颜色一般为蓝紫、蓝或黄绿, 没有红色发光现象. 随着研究的深入, 人们发现了稀土元素激活的碱土钛酸盐红色长余辉荧光材料, 这种荧光材料在发光亮度及余辉上都有明显的提高[7,8], 而且解决了硫化物不稳定的缺点. 近年来才发展起来的以碱土金属氧化物为发光基质, 以Eu3+为激活剂的红色长余辉荧光材料进一步提高了余辉亮度及时间[9].

Controlling disorder in host lattice by hetero-valence ion doping to manipulate luminescence in spinel solid solution phosphors

Phosphor materials have been rapidly developed in the past decades. Developing phosphors with desired properties including strong luminescence intensity and long lifetime has attracted widespread attention. Herein, we show that hetero-valence ion doping can serve as a potent strategy to manipulate luminescence in persistent phosphors by controlling disorder in the host lattice. Specifically, spinel phosphor Zn(Ga_(1-x)Zn_x)(Ga_(1-x)Ge_x)O_4:Cr is developed by doping ZnGa_2O_4:Cr with tetravalent Ge~(~(4+)).Compared to the original ZnGa_2O_4:Cr, the doped Zn(Ga_(1-x)Zn_x)(Ga_(1-x)Ge_x)O_4:Cr possesses significantly enhanced persistent luminescence intensity and prolonged decay time. Rietveld refinements show that Ge~(4+)enters into octahedral sites to substitute Ga~(3+), which leads to the co-substitution of Ga~(3+) by Zn~(2+) for charge compensation. The hetero-valence substitution of Ga~(3+) by Ge~(4+)and Zn~(2+) enriches the charged defects in Zn(Ga_(1-x)Zn_x)(Ga_(1-x)Ge_x)O_4:Cr, making it possible to trap large amounts of charge carriers within the defects during excitation. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurement further confirms that the amount of Cr~(3+) neighboring charged defects increases with Ge~(4+)doping. Thus charge carriers released from defects can readily combine with the neighboring Cr~(3+) to produce bright persistent luminescence after excitation ceases. The hetero-valence ion doping strategy can further be employed to develop many other phosphors and contributes to lighting, photocatalysis and bioimaging.     

Boron‐Cluster‐Enhanced Ultralong Organic Phosphorescence

Although carborane‐based luminescent materials have been studied for years, no persistent phosphor has been reported so far. Herein, we describe boron‐cluster‐based persistent phosphors obtained by linking a σ‐aromatic carboranyl cage to the π system of a carbazolyl group. The carboranes were found to promote intersystem crossing from a singlet to a triplet state. The rigid boron cluster was able to stabilize the ultralong triplet excitons through multiple nonclassical hydrogen bonds, such as B?H???π interactions, thus leading to a long lifetime of up to 0.666 s and an absolute phosphorescence quantum yield of 7.1 %, which is outstanding for an organic phosphor without heavy atoms. These phosphors can be excited by visible light and show dynamic emission behavior, including thermochromism and mechanochromism. This study demonstrates that non‐metal/heavy‐atom boron clusters can be used to develop multifunctional high‐performance phosphors for potential applications.     

Li5Zn8Ga5Ge9O36: Cr3+, Ti4+: A Long Persistent Phosphor Excited in a Wide Spectral Region from UV to Red Light for Reproducible Imaging through Biological Tissue

Near‐infrared (NIR) long‐persistent phosphors (LPPs) have emerged as a potential solution for bio‐imaging applications over the past few years. However, there are enormous challenges regarding their in situ application based on their dependence on short‐wavelength excitation. In this paper, we report a multi‐spectral excited NIR LPP, Li₅Zn₈Ga₅Ge₉O₃₆: 1.5 % Cr³⁺, 0.5 % Ti⁴⁺, which overcomes the limitations of functional processes in biological tissues and other complex systems. This LPP exhibits a high luminescent intensity and a long emission duration in the NIR region (700–800 nm). The applicability of this phosphor to tissue imaging is demonstrated experimentally. Its persistent luminescence (PersL) can easily penetrate approximately 2 mm of pork flesh. More importantly, this phosphor can be re‐charged in situ using a red LED or laser diode array to provide renewed NIR PersL for biological tissues, which is beneficial for long‐term biological tissue imaging applications with high signal‐to‐noise ratios. Systematic investigations of the nature of energy traps and PersL mechanisms are also reported in this paper.     

Luminescence properties of Cu-activated BaZnOS phosphor

Cu-activated BaZnOS was studied for the first time as a novel and efficient blue-emitting phosphor. Under the excitation of UV radiation, the phosphor can efficiently give a blue emission centered at 430 nm, corresponding to the transition from conduction band edge to the excited state of Cu²⁺ in the BaZnOS host. The maximum emission intensity occurs at 0.08 mol% of the Cu doping content for both photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray excited luminescence. The optimized blue-emitting BaZnOS:Cu phosphor has a larger PL intensity than the well-known green-emitting ZnO:Cu and blue-emitting ZnS:Cu phosphors. The excellent luminescence properties are tightly related to the appropriate direct band gap and the unique crystal structure of BaZnOS host. These results strongly indicate that the Cu-activated BaZnOS is a potential material used as a new high-brightness blue phosphor for UV light-emitting diode and display devices.     

Full‐Spectrum Persistent Luminescence Tuning Using All‐Inorganic Perovskite Quantum Dots

Applications of persistent luminescence phosphors as night or dark‐light vision materials in many technological fields have fueled up a growing demand for rational control over the emission profiles of the phosphors. This, however, remains a daunting challenge. Now a unique strategy is reported to fine‐tune the persistent luminescence by using all‐inorganic CsPbX₃ (X=Cl, Br, and I) perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) as efficient light‐conversion materials. Full‐spectrum persistent luminescence with wavelengths covering the entire visible spectral region is achieved through tailoring of the PeQD band gap, in parallel with narrow bandwidth of PeQDs and highly synchronized afterglow decay owing to the single energy storage source. These findings break through the limitations of traditional afterglow phosphors, thereby opening up opportunities for persistent luminescence materials for applications such as a white‐emitting persistent light source and dark‐light multicolor displays.

A versatile approach for ratiometric time-resolved read-out of colorimetric chemosensors using broadband phosphors as secondary emitters

A new approach for referencing of colorimetric chemosensors is described. The sensing materials rely on combination of absorption-based indicators and inorganic phosphors. Chromium(III)-activated yttrium aluminum borate and gadolinium aluminum borate were chosen to illustrate the new sensing scheme due to their spectral properties and high chemical and photochemical stability. The ratiometric luminescence read-out becomes possible due to the overlap of at least one form of the indicator with broadband emission (650–900 nm) or excitation (400–700 nm) of the phosphor. Long luminescence decay time of the phosphors (80–150 μs) allows for complete elimination of background fluorescence originating from the media, optical components or the indicator. The versatile scheme enables robust read-out of numerous colorimetric chemosensors and probes. Examples of sensing pH (using a BF₂-chelated tetraarylazadipyrromethene dye as an indicator) and carbon dioxide (a triphenylmethane dye as an indicator) are provided. It is also demonstrated that temperature can be accessed via luminescence decay time of the phosphor to enable compensation of the sensors for temperature effects.     

Phosphorescence Energy Transfer: Ambient Afterglow Fluorescence from Water‐Processable and Purely Organic Dyes via Delayed Sensitization

Ambient afterglow luminescence from metal‐free organic chromophores would provide a promising alternative to the well‐explored inorganic phosphors. However, the realization of air‐stable and solution‐processable organic afterglow systems with long‐lived triplet or singlet states remains a formidable challenge. In the present study, a delayed sensitization of the singlet state of organic dyes via phosphorescence energy transfer from organic phosphors is proposed as an alternative strategy to realize “afterglow fluorescence”. This concept is demonstrated with a long‐lived phosphor as the energy donor and commercially available fluorescent dyes as the energy acceptor. Triplet‐to‐singlet Förster‐resonance energy‐transfer (TS‐FRET) between donor and acceptor chromophores, which are co‐organized in an amorphous polymer matrix, results in tuneable yellow and red afterglow from the fluorescent acceptors. Moreover, these afterglow fluorescent hybrids are highly solution‐processable and show excellent air‐stability with good quantum yields.
