Fluorine-induced aggregate-interlocking for color-tunable organic afterglow with a simultaneously improved efficiency and lifetime.

ABSTRACT: Designing organic afterglow materials with a high efficiency and long lifetime is highly attractive but challenging because of the inherent competition between the luminescence efficiency and lifetime. Here, we propose a simple yet efficient strategy, namely fluorine-induced aggregate-interlocking (FIAI), to realize both an enhanced efficiency and elongated lifetime of afterglow materials by stimulating the synergistic effects of the introduced fluorine atoms to efficiently promote intersystem crossing (ISC) and intermolecular non-covalent interactions for facilitating both the generation of triplet excitons and suppression of non-radiative decays. Thus, the fluorine-incorporated afterglow molecules exhibit greatly enhanced ISC with a rate constant up to 5.84 × 10⁷ s^-1 and suppressed non-radiative decay down to 0.89 s^-1, resulting in efficient organic afterglow with a simultaneously improved efficiency up to 10.5% and a lifetime of 1.09 s. Moreover, accompanied by the efficient phosphorescence emission especially at cryogenic temperature, color-tunable afterglow was also observed at different temperatures. Therefore, tri-mode multiplexing encryption devices by combining lifetime, temperature and color, and visual temperature sensing were successfully established. The FIAI strategy by addressing fundamental issues of afterglow emission paves the way to develop high-performance organic afterglow materials, opening up a broad prospect of aggregated and excited state tuning of organic solids for emission lifetime-resolved applications.

Completely aqueous processable stimulus responsive organic room temperature phosphorescence materials with tunable afterglow color.

Project description:Many luminescent stimuli responsive materials are based on fluorescence emission, while stimuli-responsive room temperature phosphorescent materials are less explored. Here, we show a kind of stimulus-responsive room temperature phosphorescence materials by the covalent linkage of phosphorescent chromophore of arylboronic acid and polymer matrix of poly(vinylalcohol). Attributed to the rigid environment offered from hydrogen bond and B-O covalent bond between arylboronic acid and poly(vinylalcohol), the yielded polymer film exhibits ultralong room temperature phosphorescence with lifetime of 2.43 s and phosphorescence quantum yield of 7.51%. Interestingly, the RTP property of this film is sensitive to the water and heat stimuli, because water could destroy the hydrogen bonds between adjacent poly(vinylalcohol) polymers, then changing the rigidity of this system. Furthermore, by introducing another two fluorescent dyes to this system, the color of afterglow with stimulus response effect could be adjusted from blue to green to orange through triplet-to-singlet Förster-resonance energy-transfer. Finally, due to the water/heat-sensitive, multicolor and completely aqueous processable feature for these three afterglow hybrids, they are successfully applied in multifunctional ink for anti-counterfeit, screen printing and fingerprint record.

Tunable Fluorescence and Afterglow in Organic Crystals for Temperature Sensing.

Project description:The modulation of the properties of emission from multiple emission states in a single-component organic luminescent material is highly desirable in data anticounterfeiting, information storage, and bioapplications. Here, a single-component luminescent organic crystal of difluoroboron diphenyl β-diketonate with controllable multiple emission colors is successfully reported. The temperature-dependent luminescence experiments supported by high-level theoretical calculations demonstrate that the ratio of the fluorescence between the monomer and excimer and the phosphorescence maxima of the excimer can be effectively regulated. In addition, the temperature-dependent fluorescence and afterglow dual-emission color changes provide a new strategy for the design of highly accurate double-checked temperature sensors.

Color-tunable lanthanide metal-organic framework gels.

Project description:Fluorescence significantly improves the performance of gels. Various strategies, such as embedment and crosslinking, have been used to integrate extrinsic luminophores into gel systems, but the procedures are usually complex. Herein, for the first time, we report gels with intrinsic and tunable emission color prepared with 5-boronoisophthalic acid (5-bop) and Eu3+, Tb3+, and/or Dy3+ similar to the procedure for the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The single-metal gels exhibit intrinsic trichromatic fluorescence, due to which full-color emissions are readily obtained by tuning the type and/or ratio of Ln3+ ions to prepare mixed-metal gels. The emission is governed by an antenna effect and is thus excited with single-wavelength at 275 nm. The nucleation-growth mechanism reveals that the Ln3+ ions and 5-bop produce separated layers, which then grow anisotropically to form nanoribbons by high coordinated valence of Ln3+ ions and biased carboxyl distribution as well as steric hindrance and hydrogen bonds of the boric acid group in 5-bop. The nanoribbons entangle together to generate chemical-physical hybrid gels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of gels with inherent and tunable emission color. Due to their optical and viscoelastic properties, the gels have numerous potential applications such as tunable emission and multi-target detection.

High-efficiency color-tunable ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence from organic-inorganic metal halides <i>via</i> synergistic inter/intramolecular interactions.

Project description:Materials exhibiting highly efficient, ultralong and multicolor-tunable room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are of practical importance for emerging applications. However, these are still very scarce and remain a formidable challenge. Herein, using precise structure design, several novel organic-inorganic metal-halide hybrids with efficient and ultralong RTP have been developed based on an identical organic cation (A). The original organic salt (ACl) exhibits red RTP properties with low phosphorescence efficiency. However, after embedding metals into the organic salt, the changed crystal structure endows the resultant metal-halide hybrids with excellent RTP properties. In particular, A2ZnCl4·H2O exhibits the highest RTP efficiency of up to 56.56% with a long lifetime of up to 159 ms. It is found that multiple inter/intramolecular interactions and the strong heavy-atom effect of the rigid metal-halide hybrids can suppress molecular motion and promote the ISC process, resulting in highly stable and localized triplet excitons followed by highly efficient RTP. More crucially, multicolor-tunable fluorescence and RTP achieved by tuning the metal and halogen endow these materials with wide application prospects in the fields of multilevel information encryption and dynamic optical data storage. The findings promote the development of phosphorescent metal-halide hybrids for potential high-tech applications.

Color-tunable ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence from a multicomponent copolymer.

Project description:Functional materials displaying tunable emission and long-lived luminescence have recently emerged as a powerful tool for applications in information encryption, organic electronics and bioelectronics. Herein, we present a design strategy to achieve color-tunable ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence (UOP) in polymers through radical multicomponent cross-linked copolymerization. Our experiments reveal that by changing the excitation wavelength from 254 to 370?nm, these polymers display multicolor luminescence spanning from blue to yellow with a long-lived lifetime of 1.2?s and a maximum phosphorescence quantum yield of 37.5% under ambient conditions. Moreover, we explore the application of these polymers in multilevel information encryption based on the color-tunable UOP property. This strategy paves the way for the development of multicolor bio-labels and smart luminescent materials with long-lived emission at room temperature.

Wide-range lifetime-tunable and responsive ultralong organic phosphorescent multi-host/guest system.

Project description:The rational lifetime-tuning strategy of ultralong organic phosphorescence is extraordinarily important but seldom reported. Herein, a series of multi-host/guest ultralong organic phosphorescence materials with dynamic lifetime-tuning properties were reported. By doping a non-room-temperature phosphorescence emitter into various solid host matrices with continuously reduced triplet energy levels, a wide-range lifetime (from 3.9 ms gradually to 376.9 ms) phosphorescence with unchangeable afterglow colors were realized. Further studies revealed that the host matrices were employed to afford rigid environment and proper energy levels to generate and stabilize the long-live triplet excitons. Meanwhile, these multi-host/guest ultralong organic phosphorescence materials also exhibited excitation-dependent phosphorescence and temperature-controlled afterglow on/off switching properties, according to the virtue of various photophysical and thermal properties of the host matrices. This work provides a guiding strategy to realize lifetime-tuning ultralong organic phosphorescence with lifetime-order encoding characteristic towards widespread applications in time-resolved information displaying, higher-level security protection, and dynamic multi-dimensional anti-counterfeiting.

Tunable Wood by Reversible Interlocking and Bioinspired Mechanical Gradients.

Project description:Elegant design principles in biological materials such as stiffness gradients or sophisticated interfaces provide ingenious solutions for an efficient improvement of their mechanical properties. When materials such as wood are directly used in high-performance applications, it is not possible to entirely profit from these optimizations because stiffness alterations and fiber alignment of the natural material are not designed for the desired application. In this work, wood is turned into a versatile engineering material by incorporating mechanical gradients and by locally adapting the fiber alignment, using a shaping mechanism enabled by reversible interlocks between wood cells. Delignification of the renewable resource wood, a subsequent topographic stacking of the cellulosic scaffolds, and a final densification allow fabrication of desired 3D shapes with tunable fiber architecture. Additionally, prior functionalization of the cellulose scaffolds allows for obtaining tunable functionality combined with mechanical gradients. Locally controllable elastic moduli between 5 and 35 GPa are obtained, inspired by the ability of trees to tailor their macro- and micro-structure. The versatility of this approach has significant relevance in the emerging field of high-performance materials from renewable resources.

The fabrication of color-tunable organic light-emitting diode displays via solution processing.

Project description:Electroluminescent devices based on organic semiconductors have attracted significant attention owing to their promising applications in flat-panel displays. The conventional display pixel consisting of side-by-side arrayed red, green and blue subpixels represents the mature technology but bears an intrinsic deficiency of a low pixel density. Constructing an individual color-tunable pixel that comprises vertically stacked subpixels is considered an advanced technology. Although color-tunable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been fabricated using the vacuum deposition of small molecules, the solution processing of conjugated polymers would enable a much simpler and inexpensive manufacturing process. Here we present the all-solution processing of color-tunable OLEDs comprising two vertically stacked polymer emitters. A thin layer of highly conducting and transparent silver nanowires is introduced as the intermediate charge injection contact, which allows the emission spectrum and intensity of the tandem devices to be seamlessly manipulated. To demonstrate a viable application of this technology, a 4-by-4 pixelated matrix color-tunable display was fabricated.

Organic solid fluorophores regulated by subtle structure modification: color-tunable and aggregation-induced emission.

Project description:Organic solid fluorophores with a tunable emission color have been widely applied in multiple areas. However, rational design and efficient crafting of these fluorophores from a simple core skeleton is still a formidable challenge because of the undesirable concentration quenching emission effect. Herein, we present the development of two series of organic solid fluorophores based on a backbone of p-bis(2,2-dicyanovinyl)benzene. Notably, the introduction of either non-aromatic or aromatic substituents provides fluorophores with a tunable emission color. Moreover, the fluorophores with aromatic substituents exhibit additional unique optical phenomena, such as aggregation-induced emission, polymorphism-dependent emission, and reversible mechanochromic luminescence.

Time-Dependent Afterglow from a Single Component Organic Luminogen.

Project description:Pure organic luminogens with long-persistent luminescence have been extensively studied, on account of their fundamental research significance and diverse utilizations in anticounterfeiting, bioimaging, encryption, organic light-emitting diodes, chemo-sensing, etc. However, time-dependent color-tunable afterglow is rarely reported, especially for single-component materials. In this work, we reported an organic luminogen with time-dependent afterglow, namely, benzoyleneurea (BEU), with multiple persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in single crystals. While the lifetime of TADF is relatively short (~1.2 ms), those for p-RTP are as long as around 369~754 ms. The comparable but different decay rates of diversified p-RTP emissions endow BEU crystals with obvious time-dependent afterglow. The existence of multiple emissions can be reasonably illustrated by the clustering-triggered emission (CTE) mechanism. Single-crystal structure illustrates that the combination of benzene ring and nonconventional chromophores of ureide helps facilitate divergent intermolecular interactions, which contribute to the formation of varying emissive species. Moreover, its methyl- and chloro-substituted derivatives show similar multiple p-RTP emissions. However, no time-dependent afterglows are observed in their crystals, due to the highly approaching lifetimes. The afterglow color variation of BEU crystals grants its applications in advanced anticounterfeiting field and information encryption.
