Stereoisomer-Independent Stable Blue Emission in Axial Chiral Difluorenol.

ABSTRACT: Bulky conjugated molecules with high stability are the prerequisite for the overall improvement of performance in wide-bandgap semiconductors. Herein, a chiral difluorenol, 2,2'-(9,9'-spirobi[fluorene]-2,2'-diyl)bis(9-(4-(octyloxy)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-9-ol) (DOHSBF), is set as a desirable model to reveal the stereoisomeric effects of wide-bandgap molecules toward controlling photophysical behavior and improving thermal and optical stability. Three diastereomers are obtained and elucidated by NMR spectra. Interestingly, the effect of modifying the stereo-centers is not observed on optical properties in solutions, pristine films, or post-treated film states. All three diastereomers as well as the mixture exhibit excellent spectral stability without undesirable green emission. Therefore, this stereoisomer-independent blue-emitting difluorenol will be a promising candidate for next-generation wide-bandgap semiconductors that would have extensive application in organic photonics.

Intense, stable and excitation wavelength-independent photoluminescence emission in the blue-violet region from phosphorene quantum dots.

Project description:Nanoscale phosphorene quantum dots (PQDs) with few-layer structures were fabricated by pulsed laser ablation of a bulk black phosphorus target in diethyl ether. An intense and stable photoluminescence (PL) emission of the PQDs in the blue-violet wavelength region is clearly observed for the first time, which is attributed to electronic transitions from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and occupied molecular orbitals below the HOMO (H-1, H-2), respectively. Surprisingly, the PL emission peak positions of the PQDs are not red-shifted with progressively longer excitation wavelengths, which is in contrast to the cases of graphene and molybdenum disulphide quantum dots. This excitation wavelength-independence is derived from the saturated passivation on the periphery and surfaces of the PQDs by large numbers of electron-donating functional groups which cause the electron density on the PQDs to be dramatically increased and the band gap to be insensitive to the quantum size effect in the PQDs. This work suggests that PQDs with intense, stable and excitation wavelength-independent PL emission in the blue-violet region have a potential application as semiconductor-based blue-violet light irradiation sources.

Plasmon-Enhanced Blue-Light Emission of Stable Perovskite Quantum Dot Membranes.

Project description:A series of stable and color-tunable MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dot membranes were fabricated via a cost-efficient high-throughput technology. MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots grown in-situ in polyvinylidene fluoride electrospun nanofibers exhibit extraordinary stability. As polyvinylidene fluoride can prevent the molecular group MA+ from aggregating, MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots are several nanometers and monodisperse in polyvinylidene fluoride fiber. As-prepared MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dot membranes exhibit the variable luminous color by controlling the Cl- content of MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots. To improve blue-light emission efficiency, we successfully introduced Ag nanoparticle nanofibers into MAPbBr1.2Cl1.8 quantum dot membranes via layer-by-layer electrospinning and obtained ~4.8 folds fluorescence enhancement for one unit. Furthermore, the originality explanation for the fluorescence enhancement of MAPbBr3-xClx quantum dots is proposed based on simulating optical field distribution of the research system.

Strain-induced yellow to blue emission tailoring of axial InGaN/GaN quantum wells in GaN nanorods synthesized by nanoimprint lithography.

Project description:GaN nanorods (NRds) with axial InGaN/GaN MQWs insertions are synthesized by an original cost-effective and large-scale nanoimprint-lithography process from an InGaN/GaN MQWs layer grown on c-sapphire substrates. By design, such NRds exhibit a single emission due to the c-axis MQWs. A systematic study of the emission of the NRds by time-resolved luminescence (TR-PL) and power dependence PL shows a diameter-controlled luminescence without significant degradation of the recombination rate thanks to the diameter-controlled strain tuning and QSCE. A blueshift up to 0.26 eV from 2.28 to 2.54 eV (543 nm to 488 nm) is observed for 3.2 nm thick InGaN/GaN QWs with an In composition of 19% when the NRds radius is reduced from 650 to 80 nm. The results are consistent with a 1-D based strain relaxation model. By combining state of the art knowledge of c-axis growth and the strong strain relieving capability of NRds, this process enables multiple and independent single-color emission from a single uniform InGaN/GaN MQWs layer in a single patterning step, then solving color mixing issue in InGaN based nanorods LED devices.

Short-Term Exposure to Blue Light Shows an Inhibitory Effect on Axial Elongation in Human Eyes Independent of Defocus.

Project description:PurposeGiven the potential role of light and its wavelength on ocular growth, we investigated the effect of short-term exposure to the red, green, and blue light on ocular biometry in the presence and absence of lens-induced defocus in humans.MethodsTwenty-five young adults were exposed to blue (460 nm), green (521 nm), red (623 nm), and white light conditions for 1-hour each on 4 separate experimental sessions conducted on 4 different days. In each light condition, hyperopic defocus (3D) was induced to the right eye with the fellow eye experiencing no defocus. Axial length and choroidal thickness were measured before and immediately after the light exposure with a non-contact biometer.ResultsAxial length increased from baseline after red light (mean difference ± standard error in the defocussed eye and non-defocussed eye = 11.2 ± 2 µm and 6.4 ± 2.3 µm, P < 0.001 and P < 0.01, respectively) and green light exposure (9.2 ± 3 µm and 7.0 ± 2.5 µm, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001) with a significant decrease in choroidal thickness (P < 0.05, both red and green light) after 1-hour of exposure. Blue light exposure resulted in a reduction in axial length in both the eyes (-8.0 ± 3 µm, P < 0.001 in the defocussed eye and -6.0 ± 3 µm, P = 0.11 in the non-defocused eye) with no significant changes in the choroidal thickness.ConclusionsExposure to red and green light resulted in axial elongation, and blue light resulted in inhibition of axial elongation in human eyes. Impact of such specific wavelength exposure on children and its application in myopia control need to be explored.

Highly emissive blue graphene quantum dots with excitation-independent emission <i>via</i> ultrafast liquid-phase photoreduction.

Project description:Graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) are promising candidates for biomedical applications since they have lower toxicity and higher biocompatibility than traditional semiconductor quantum dots. However, oxygen functional groups such as epoxy and hydroxyl groups usually induce nonradiative relaxation, which leads to GOQDs exhibiting nonemissive properties. For the enhancement of the emission efficiency of GOQDs, the number of nonradiative relaxation sites should be reduced. This paper reports the synthesis of highly luminescent reduced GOQDs prepared by liquid-phase photoreduction (LPP-rGOQDs). First, GOQDs was fabricated from single-walled carbon nanotubes through chlorate-based oxidation and separation after acoustic cavitation. Subsequently, LPP-rGOQDs were obtained by liquid-phase photoreduction of the GOQD suspension under intense pulsed light irradiation. Liquid-phase photoreduction selectively reduced epoxy groups present on the basal plane of GOQDs, and hydrogenated the basal plane without removal of carbonyl and carboxyl groups at the edges of the GOQDs. Such selective removal of oxidative functional groups was used to control the reduction degree of GOQDs, closely related to their optical properties. The optimized LPP-rGOQDs were bright blue in color and showed quantum yields up to about 19.7%, which was 10 times the quantum yield of GOQDs. Furthermore, the LPP-rGOQDs were utilized to image a human embryonic kidney (HEK293A), and a low cytotoxicity level and satisfactory cell imaging performance were observed.

General Light-Mediated, Highly Diastereoselective Piperidine Epimerization: From Most Accessible to Most Stable Stereoisomer.

Project description:We report a combined photocatalytic and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) approach for the light-mediated epimerization of readily accessible piperidines to provide the more stable diastereomer with high selectivity. The generality of the transformation was explored for a large variety of di- to tetrasubstituted piperidines with aryl, alkyl, and carboxylic acid derivatives at multiple different sites. Piperidines without substitution on nitrogen as well as N-alkyl and aryl derivatives were effective epimerization substrates. The observed diastereoselectivities correlate with the calculated relative stabilities of the isomers. Demonstration of reaction reversibility, luminescence quenching, deuterium labeling studies, and quantum yield measurements provide information about the mechanism.

Spectra stable deep-blue light-emitting diodes based on cryolite-like cerium(III) halides with nanosecond d-f emission.

Project description:Next-generation wide color gamut displays require the development of efficient and toxic-free light-emitting materials meeting the crucial Rec. 2020 standard. With the rapid progress of green and red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), blue PeLEDs remain a central challenge because of the undesirable color coordinates and poor spectra stability. Here, we report Cs3CeBrxI6-x (x = 0 to 6) with the cryolite-like structure and stable and tunable color coordinates from (0.17, 0.02) to (0.15, 0.04). Further encouraged by the short exciton lifetime (26.1 ns) and high photoluminescence quantum yield (~76%), we construct Cs3CeBrxI6-x-based rare-earth LEDs via thermal evaporation. A seed layer strategy is conducted to improve the device's performance. The optimal Cs3CeI6 device achieves a maximum external quantum efficiency of 3.5% and a luminance of 470 cd m-2 with stable deep-blue color coordinates of (0.15, 0.04). Our work opens another avenue to achieving efficient and spectrally stable deep-blue LEDs.

Molecular dynamic staircases: all-carbon axial chiral "Gelander" structures.

Project description:Herein, the syntheses of two tightly packed all-carbon "Geländer" molecules with axial chirality are described. Motivated by our previous results, we further reduced the bridge length by excluding the heteroatoms. The absolute configuration was determined by comparison of the measured and calculated circular dichroism (CD) spectra and the thermodynamic stability was determined by dynamic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and CD analysis. The cyclophanes were fully characterized by CD measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, NMR, UV-Vis and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Our novel all-carbon macrocycle is the most stable Geländer system reported so far.

Hydrophobic carbon dots with blue dispersed emission and red aggregation-induced emission.

Project description:Carbon dots (CDs) have been studied for years as one of the most promising fluorescent nanomaterials. However, CDs with red or solid-state fluorescence are rarely reported. Herein, through a one-pot solvothermal treatment, hydrophobic CDs (H-CDs) with blue dispersed emission and red aggregation-induced emission are obtained. When water is introduced, the hydrophobic interaction leads to aggregation of the H-CDs. The formation of H-CD clusters induces the turning off of the blue emission, as the carbonized cores suffer from ?-? stacking interactions, and the turning on of the red fluorescence, due to restriction of the surfaces' intramolecular rotation around disulfide bonds, which conforms to the aggregation-induced-emission phenomenon. This on-off fluorescence of the H-CDs is reversible when the H-CD powder is completely dissolved. Moreover, the H-CD solution dispersed in filter paper is nearly colorless. Finally, we develop a reversible two switch-mode luminescence ink for advanced anti-counterfeiting and dual-encryption.

Ultra-highly fluorescent N doped carbon dots-CdTe QDs nanohybrids with excitation-independent emission in the blue-violet region.

Project description:Luminescent carbon dots (CDs) are of significant practical application interest such as in optoelectronic devices and sensitive probing in the life science and environment fields. In this study, N doped CDs-CdTe quantum dots (QDs) nanohybrids (CdTe/N-CDs) were synthesized by a plasma heating process using silk fibroin and CdTe QDs as precursors. The synthesis, doping, hybridizing and passivation of the CdTe/N-CDs were carried out in a single-step process. The as-synthesized CdTe/N-CDs dispersed in ethanol exhibited blue-violet photoluminescence with excitation-independent emission characteristics (strong emissions at 405 nm and 429 nm, and a weak emission at 456 nm). Additionally, the optimal excitation wavelength for the CdTe/N-CDs was found at 360-380 nm, which very closely matches the intrinsic wavelength of GaN-based LEDs. Furthermore, the obtained CdTe/N-CDs exhibited a very high quantum yield of ∼84%, showing great potential in developing chip-based high performance optoelectronics devices. The emission mechanism and emission enhancement by related factors including N-bonded configurations in the carbon base and the transfer of photo-excited electrons from the CdTe QDs to the N doped CDs were studied, as well.
