Excellent color rendering index single system white light emitting carbon dots for next generation lighting devices.

ABSTRACT: Recently, quantum dots (QDs) are finding enormous application in white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) and WLEDs with high color rendition are in high demand. QD-WLEDs use different color (Red, Blue, Green) emitting QDs to obtain white light. Use of different color emitting QDs affect purity of white light due to self-absorption losses and QD degradation, in the long run affecting color rendering index (CRI) of WLEDs. Herein, we report low cost, environment friendly, open air atmosphere synthesis of single system white light emitting carbon dots (CDs) with broad emission bandwidth ranging 116 -143 nm and quantum yields (QY) ~ 5 - 13 % in colloidal state by modifying CD surface. Furthermore, carbon dot polymer phosphor (CD-PDMS phosphor) is fabricated which emits white light under UV illumination with a record emission bandwidth of ~ 154 nm and QY ~ 16 % in solid state. Moreover, CD-PDMS phosphor exhibit excellent color rendering index (CRI) ~ 96, the highest reported so far with CIE co-ordinates (0.31, 0.33) that are quite akin to pure white light. Such high performances are achieved due to high quality of CDs and CD-PDMS polymer phosphors by precise control in passivation/functionalization of nanoparticle surface. This work will set platform for the application of CD-phosphor based WLEDs in lighting systems.

One-Step Synthesis of White-Light-Emitting Carbon Dots for White LEDs with a High Color Rendering Index of 97.

Project description:White-light-emitting carbon dots (WCDs) show innate advantages as phosphors in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). For WLEDs, the color rendering index (CRI) is the most important metric to evaluate its performance. Herein, WCDs are prepared by a facile one-step solvothermal reaction of trimellitic acid and o-phenylenediamine. It consists of four CDs identified by column chromatography as blue, green, yellow, red, and thus white light is a superposition of these four types of light. The mixture of the four CDs undergoes Förster resonance energy transfer to induce the generation of white light. The photoluminescence of WCDs originates from the synergistic effect of carbon core and surface states. Thereinto, the carbon core states dominate in RCDs, and the increase of amide contents and degree of conjugation promote the redshift of the emission spectra, which is further confirmed by theoretical calculations. In addition, a high CRI of 97 is achieved when the WCDs are used as phosphors to fabricate WLEDs, which is almost the highest value up to now. The multicolor LEDs can also be fabricated by using the four multicolor CDs as phosphors, respectively. This work provides a novel approach to explore the rapid preparation of low-cost, high-performance WCDs and CDs-based WLEDs.

Multi-color carbon dots for white light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Heteroatom doped carbon dots (CDs) with color adjustable properties have attracted extensive attention. The doping of elements can effectively tune the surface chemical properties of CDs, thus resulting in its multi-functional applications such as in bio-imaging, photocatalysis, and photothermal conversion. The facile preparation of single metal-doped CDs with color-tunable properties has been rarely reported yet. Herein, we report a one-step solvothermal method to synthesize CDs with different fluorescent emission varying from red to purple to blue. The luminescence characteristic of CDs can be tuned by simply controlling the ratio of precursors, with the emission wavelength correspondingly adjusted from 610 nm to 390 nm. XPS investigation further demonstrated that the color variation is mainly due to the doping of zinc, which will increase the degree of surface oxidation in the as-prepared CDs. For blue emission CDs, the content of graphitic carbon gradually decreases with the rising of zinc chloride addition, while oxygen content remains around 20%, compared with red emission CDs of which the oxygen content is only 4.42%. We also demonstrated with theoretical simulations that the Zn dopant and the functional groups including -C[double bond, length as m-dash]O, -C-OH, -NH2, and pyrrolic N, play an important role in color change. Furthermore, the synthesized CDs have been successfully used into the fabrication of white LEDs. More than that, we produced a sensitive sensor from the prepared CDs for the effective detection of a variety of colorless transparent organic solvents utilizing the robust fluorescence properties of CDs, showing their great potential as fluorescent probes for chemical sensing.

Binary Host-induced Exciplex Enabled High Color-Rendering Index of 94 for Carbon Quantum Dot-Based White Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with high color-rendering index (CRI, >90) are important for backlight displays and solid-state lighting applications. Although the well-developed colloidal quantum dots (QDs) based on heavy metals such as cadmium and lead are promising candidates for WLEDs, the low CRI still remains a significant limitation. In addition, the severe toxicity of heavy metals greatly limits their widespread use. Herein, the study demonstrates low-cost and environmentally friendly carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-based WLEDs that exhibit a high CRI of 94.33, surpassing that of conventional cadmium/lead-containing QD-based WLEDs. This achievement is attained through the employment of a binary host-induced exciplex strategy. The high hole/electron mobility and suitable energy levels of the donor and acceptor give rise to a broadband orange-yellow emission stemming from the exciplex. As the host, the binary exciplex is capable of contributing blue and orange-yellow emission components while efficiently mitigating the aggregation-induced quenching of CQDs. Meanwhile, CQDs effectively address the deep-red emission gap, enabling the realization of CQDs-based WLEDs with high CRI. These WLEDs also exhibit a remarkably low turn-on voltage of 2.8 V, a maximum luminance exceeding 2000 cd m- 2, a correlated color temperature of 4976 K, and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.34, 0.32).

A single Eu<sup>2+</sup>-activated high-color-rendering oxychloride white-light phosphor for white-light-emitting diodes.

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.

Improving "color rendering" of LED lighting for the growth of lettuce.

Project description:Light plays a vital role on the growth and development of plant. On the base of white light with high color rendering to the benefit of human survival and life, we proposed to improve "color rendering" of LED lighting for accelerating the growth of lettuce. Seven spectral LED lights were adopted to irradiate the lettuces under 150 μmol·m-2·s-1 for a 16 hd-1 photoperiod. The leaf area and number profiles, plant biomass, and photosynthetic rate under the as-prepared LED light treatments were investigated. We let the absorption spectrum of fresh leaf be the emission spectrum of ideal light and then evaluate the "color rendering" of as-prepared LED lights by the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and CIE chromaticity coordinates. Under the irradiation of red-yellow-blue light with high correlation coefficient of 0.587, the dry weights and leaf growth rate are 2-3 times as high as the sharp red-blue light. The optimized LED light for lettuce growth can be presumed to be limited to the angle (about 75°) between the vectors passed through the ideal light in the CIE chromaticity coordinates. These findings open up a new idea to assess and find the optimized LED light for plant growth.

Semiconductive 3-D haloplumbate framework hybrids with high color rendering index white-light emission.

Project description:Single-component white light materials may create great opportunities for novel conventional lighting applications and display systems; however, their reported color rendering index (CRI) values, one of the key parameters for lighting, are less than 90, which does not satisfy the demand of color-critical upmarket applications, such as photography, cinematography, and art galleries. In this work, two semiconductive chloroplumbate (chloride anion of lead(ii)) hybrids, obtained using a new inorganic-organic hybrid strategy, show unprecedented 3-D inorganic framework structures and white-light-emitting properties with high CRI values around 90, one of which shows the highest value to date.

N-doped carbon dots from phenol derivatives for excellent colour rendering WLEDs.

Project description:To achieve competitive fluorescence carbon dots (CDs), studies on regulating fluorescence of CDs under controlled, comparable conditions are in great demand. Herein, by changing the functional groups and nitrogenous existence forms in the precursors, three efficient yellow-green emissive N-doped CDs which have the same fluorescence peak wavelength but different photoluminescence quantum yields were realized through a facile hydrothermal method. The as-prepared CDs exhibit not only excited-independent emissions but also similar surface states. The best-performing CDs among the three products exhibits photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 24.4% in water and 53.3% in ethanol, abundant surface functional groups and its high N-doping degree would be the reason for its excellent performances. By washing and reduction processes, the emission evolution of the CDs was studied linking the changes of surface states. The fluorescence can certainly be attributed to the surface of the carbon dots, and the surface states control the photoluminescence features. Serving as a yellow-green colour conversion layer, the best CDs in the three products was used to fabricate a white light-emitting diode. The white light-emitting diode shows an excellent colour rendering index up to 93.3, suggesting broad application prospects of the CDs in lighting and display fields.

A promising 1D Cd-based hybrid perovskite-type for white-light emission with high-color-rendering index.

Project description:A one dimensional (1D) perovskite-type (C6H7NBr)3[CdBr5] (abbreviated 4-BAPC) was synthesized by slow evaporation at room temperature (RT). 4-BAPC crystalizes in the monoclinic system with the space group P21/c. The 1D inorganic chains are formed by corner sharing CdBr6 octahedra. Thermal measurement shows that 4-BAPC is stable up to 190 °C. Optical characterization demonstrates that the grown crystal is an indirect bandgap material with a bandgap value of 3.93 eV, which is consistent with theoretical calculations. The electronic structure, calculated using density functional theory, reveals that the valence band originates from a combination of Br-4p orbitals and Cd-4d orbitals, whereas the conduction band originates from the Cd-5s orbitals. The photoluminescence spectroscopy shows that the obtained material exhibits a broad-band white light emission with extra-high CRI of 98 under λ exc = 380 nm. This emission is mainly resulting from the self-trapped exciton recombinations within the inorganic CdBr6 octahedron, and the fluorescence within the organic conjugated ammonium salt.

Dye-Derived Red-Emitting Carbon Dots for Lasing and Solid-State Lighting.

Project description:Carbon dots are carbon-based nanoparticles renowned for their intense light-emitting capabilities covering the whole visible light range. Achieving carbon dots emitting in the red region with high efficiency is extremely relevant due to their huge potential in biological applications and in optoelectronics. Currently, photoluminescence in such an energy interval is often associated with polyheterocyclic molecular domains forming during the synthesis that, however, present low emission efficiency and issues in controlling the optical features. Here, we overcome these problems by solvothermally synthesizing carbon dots starting from Neutral Red, a common red-emitting dye, as a molecular precursor. As a result of the synthesis, such molecular fluorophore is incorporated into a carbonaceous core while retaining its original optical properties. The obtained nanoparticles are highly luminescent in the red region, with a quantum yield comparable to that of the starting dye. Most importantly, the nanoparticle carbogenic matrix protects the Neutral Red molecules from photobleaching under ultraviolet excitation while preventing aggregation-induced quenching, thus allowing solid-state emission. These advantages have been exploited to develop a fluorescence-based color conversion layer by fabricating polymer-based highly concentrated solid-state carbon dot nanocomposites. Finally, the dye-based carbon dots demonstrate both stable Fabry-Perot lasing and efficient random lasing emission in the red region.

<i>In situ</i> synthesis of stretchable and highly stable multi-color carbon-dots/polyurethane composite films for light-emitting devices.

Project description:Multi-color-emissive fluorescent polymer nanocomposite films have potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Herein, stretchable, mechanically stable multi-color carbon-dots-based films are in situ fabricated by condensation and aging of carboxylated polyurethane in the presence of various carbon sources. As-prepared CDs/PU films emit different colors covering from blue (414 nm) to red (620 nm) by tuning reaction conditions. Moreover, CDs are fixed and have good dispersion in the PU matrix due to the interactions of amine groups from the carbon sources with the carboxylate group of PU. Thus, phase separation of composite films can be avoided. And, more than 90% of their emission intensity is preserved after soaking in water for 30 days, aging for up to 6 h at 100 °C, and subjecting to several cycles of stretching and natural recovery. These advantages are encouraging for the use of CDs/PU composite films in solid-state lighting applications. Remote multi-color LEDs have been fabricated by placing a down-conversion layer of CDs/PU films separated through coating them on the same chips (emission at 365 nm), with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage color coordinates of (0.22, 0.23), (0.43, 0.53), (0.49, 0.46), and (0.41, 0.28), respectively.
