Persistent Luminescence in Non-Eu2+-Doped Compounds: A Review.

ABSTRACT: During the past few decades, the research on persistent luminescent materials has focused mainly on Eu2+-doped compounds. However, the yearly number of publications on non-Eu2+-based materials has also increased steadily. By now, the number of known persistent phosphors has increased to over 200, of which over 80% are not based on Eu2+, but rather, on intrinsic host defects, transition metals (manganese, chromium, copper, etc.) or trivalent rare earths (cerium, terbium, dysprosium, etc.). In this review, we present an overview of these non-Eu2+-based persistent luminescent materials and their afterglow properties. We also take a closer look at some remaining challenges, such as the excitability with visible light and the possibility of energy transfer between multiple luminescent centers. Finally, we summarize the necessary elements for a complete description of a persistent luminescent material, in order to allow a more objective comparison of these phosphors.

Broadband Luminescence in Rare Earth Doped Sr2SiS4: Relating Energy Levels of Ce3+ and Eu2.

Project description:Sr2SiS4:Ce3+ is an efficient blue-emitting (460 nm) phosphor, excitable with light of wavelengths up to 420 nm. From the excitation spectrum, we construct the energy level scheme and use it to check the predictive power of the Dorenbos model, relating the positions of the Ce3+ energy levels with those of Eu2+ in the same host. For strontium thiosilicate, this method gives excellent results and allows us to determine which of two available crystallographic sites is occupied by cerium. We use the Dorenbos method for extracting information on the coordination of Ce3+ from the observed crystal field splitting.

BaP6 N10 NH:Eu2+ as a Case Study-An Imidonitridophosphate Showing Luminescence.

Project description:Barium imidonitridophosphate BaP6 N10 NH was synthesized at 5 GPa and 1000 °C with a high-pressure high-temperature approach using the multianvil technique. Ba(N3 )2 , P3 N5 and NH4 Cl were used as starting materials, applying a combination of azide and mineralizer routes. The structure elucidation of BaP6 N10 NH (P63 , a=7.5633(11), c=8.512(2) Å, Z=2) was performed by a combination of transmission electron microscopy and single-crystal diffraction with microfocused synchrotron radiation. Phase purity was verified by Rietveld refinement. 1 H and 31 P solid-state NMR and FTIR spectroscopy are consistent with the structure model. The chemical composition was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and CHNS analyses. Eu2+ -doped samples of BaP6 N10 NH show blue emission upon excitation with UV to blue light (λem =460 nm, fwhm=2423 cm-1 ) representing unprecedented Eu2+ -luminescence of an imidonitride.

Room-Temperature Phosphorescent Organic-Doped Inorganic Frameworks Showing Wide-Range and Multicolor Long-Persistent Luminescence.

Project description:Long-persistent luminescence based on purely inorganic and/or organic compounds has recently attracted much attention in a wide variety of fields including illumination, biological imaging, and information safety. However, simultaneously tuning the static and dynamic afterglow performance still presents a challenge. In this work, we put forward a new route of organic-doped inorganic framework to achieve wide-range and multicolor ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Through a facile hydrothermal method, phosphor (tetrafluoroterephthalic acid (TFTPA)) into the CdCO3 (or Zn2(OH)2CO3) host matrix exhibits an excitation-dependent colorful RTP due to the formation of diverse molecular aggregations with multicentral luminescence. The RTP lifetime of the doped organic/inorganic hybrids is greatly enhanced (313 times) compared to the pristine TFTPA. The high RTP quantum yield (43.9%) and good stability guarantee their easy visualization in both ambient and extreme conditions (such as acidic/basic solutions and an oxygen environment). Further codoped inorganic ions (Mn2+ and Pb2+) afford the hybrid materials with a novel time-resolved tunable afterglow emission, and the excitation-dependent RTP color is highly adjustable from dark blue to red, covering nearly the whole visible spectrum and outperforming the current state-of-the-art RTP materials. Therefore, this work not only describes a combined codoping and multicentral strategy to obtain statically and dynamically tunable long-persistent luminescence but also provides great opportunity for the use of organic-inorganic hybrid materials in multilevel anticounterfeiting and multicolor display applications.

Non-blinking and photostable upconverted luminescence from single lanthanide-doped nanocrystals.

Project description:The development of probes for single-molecule imaging has dramatically facilitated the study of individual molecules in cells and other complex environments. Single-molecule probes ideally exhibit good brightness, uninterrupted emission, resistance to photobleaching, and minimal spectral overlap with cellular autofluorescence. However, most single-molecule probes are imperfect in several of these aspects, and none have been shown to possess all of these characteristics. Here we show that individual lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs)--specifically, hexagonal phase NaYF(4) (beta-NaYF(4)) nanocrystals with multiple Yb(3+) and Er(3+) dopants--emit bright anti-Stokes visible upconverted luminescence with exceptional photostability when excited by a 980-nm continuous wave laser. Individual UCNPs exhibit no on/off emission behavior, or "blinking," down to the millisecond timescale, and no loss of intensity following an hour of continuous excitation. Amphiphilic polymer coatings permit the transfer of hydrophobic UCNPs into water, resulting in individual water-soluble nanoparticles with undiminished photophysical characteristics. These UCNPs are endocytosed by cells and show strong upconverted luminescence, with no measurable anti-Stokes background autofluorescence, suggesting that UCNPs are ideally suited for single-molecule imaging experiments.

Photostimulated near-infrared persistent luminescence as a new optical read-out from Cr³?-doped LiGa?O?.

Project description:In conventional photostimulable storage phosphors, the optical information written by x-ray or ultraviolet irradiation is usually read out as a visible photostimulated luminescence (PSL) signal under the stimulation of a low-energy light with appropriate wavelength. Unlike the transient PSL, here we report a new optical read-out form, photostimulated persistent luminescence (PSPL) in the near-infrared (NIR), from a Cr(3+)-doped LiGa?O? NIR persistent phosphor exhibiting a super-long NIR persistent luminescence of more than 1,000 h. An intense PSPL signal peaking at 716 nm can be repeatedly obtained in a period of more than 1,000 h when an ultraviolet-light (250-360 nm) pre-irradiated LiGa?O?:Cr(3+) phosphor is repeatedly stimulated with a visible light or a NIR light. The LiGa?O?:Cr(3+) phosphor has promising applications in optical information storage, night-vision surveillance, and in vivo bio-imaging.

Preparation and Luminescence Properties of Ba₅Si₈O21 Long Persistent Phosphors Doped with Rare-Earth Elements.

Project description:The phosphors of formula Ba₅Si₈O21:Eu2+,Dy3+ were synthesized and studied in order to improve their properties. Their synthesis conditions were evaluated as a function of precursors, crucible composition, flux agents, dopants and temperatures. The samples were characterised by means of a systematic investigation through elemental, kinetic, mineralogical (both qualitative and quantitative), and morphological analysis. This study allows for a careful evaluation of the parameters that influence the formation and properties of Ba₅Si₈O21:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphors. As for the synthesis conditions, the use of Na₂SiO₃, BaCO₃ and NH₄Cl as precursors was very important to reduce the temperature and time of synthesis. The reducing atmosphere produced with purified coal was cheaper and gave results similar to the more traditional gas mixture (H₂/N₂). At the end of this study, a phosphor with improved long persistent phosphorescence (LPP) characteristics was obtained with Ba/Si = 0.7, Eu/Si = 2.8 × 10-3 and Dy/Si = 3.6 × 10-3 following a 6 h-synthesis in a quartz crucible.

Magnetism and Afterglow United: Synthesis of Novel Double Core-Shell Eu2+ -Doped Bifunctional Nanoparticles.

Project description:Afterglow-magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) offer enormous potential for bioimaging applications, as they can be manipulated by a magnetic field, as well as emitting light after irradiation with an excitation source, thus distinguishing themselves from fluorescent living cells. In this work, a novel double core-shell strategy is presented, uniting co-precipitation with combustion synthesis routes to combine an Fe3 O4 magnetic core (?15?nm) with an afterglow SrAl2 O4 :Eu2+ ,Dy3+ outer coat (?10?nm), and applying a SiO2 protective middle layer (?16?nm) to reduce the luminescence quenching caused by the Fe core ions. The resulting Fe3 O4 @SiO2 @SrAl2 O4 :Eu2+ ,Dy3+ NPs emit green light attributed to the 4f6 5d1 ?4f7 (8 S7/2 ) transition of Eu2+ under UV radiation and for a few seconds afterwards. This bifunctional nanocomposite can potentially be applied for the detection and separation of cells or diagnostically relevant molecules.

Nitridophosphate-Based Ultra-Narrow-Band Blue-Emitters: Luminescence Properties of AEP8 N14 :Eu2+ (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba).

Project description:The nitridophosphates AEP8 N14 (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba) were synthesized at 4-5 GPa and 1050-1150 °C applying a 1000 t press with multianvil apparatus, following the azide route. The crystal structures of CaP8 N14 and SrP8 N14 are isotypic. The space group Cmcm was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The structure of BaP8 N14 (space group Amm2) was elucidated by a combination of transmission electron microscopy and diffraction of microfocused synchrotron radiation. Phase purity was confirmed by Rietveld refinement. IR spectra are consistent with the structure models and the chemical compositions were confirmed by X-ray spectroscopy. Luminescence properties of Eu2+ -doped samples were investigated upon excitation with UV to blue light. CaP8 N14 (λem =470 nm; fwhm=1380 cm-1 ) and SrP8 N14 (λem =440 nm; fwhm=1350 cm-1 ) can be classified as the first ultra-narrow-band blue-emitting Eu2+ -doped nitridophosphates. BaP8 N14 shows a notably broader blue emission (λem =417/457 nm; fwhm=2075/3550 cm-1 ).

Solar-blind ultraviolet-C persistent luminescence phosphors.

Project description:Visible-light and infrared-light persistent phosphors are extensively studied and are being used as self-sustained glowing tags in darkness. In contrast, persistent phosphors for higher-energy, solar-blind ultraviolet-C wavelengths (200-280?nm) are lacking. Also, persistent tags working in bright environments are not available. Here we report five types of Pr3+-doped silicates (melilite, cyclosilicate, silicate garnet, oxyorthosilicate, and orthosilicate) ultraviolet-C persistent phosphors that can act as self-sustained glowing tags in bright environments. These ultraviolet-C persistent phosphors can be effectively charged by a standard 254?nm lamp and emit intense, long-lasting afterglow at 265-270?nm, which can be clearly monitored and imaged by a corona camera in daylight and room light. Besides thermal-stimulation, in bright environments, photo-stimulation also contributes to the afterglow emission and its contribution can be dominant when ambient light is strong. This study expands persistent luminescence research to the ultraviolet-C wavelengths and brings persistent luminescence applications to light.

Near-Infrared Quantum Cutting Long Persistent Luminescence.

Project description:By combining the unique features of the quantum cutting luminescence and long persistent luminescence, we design a new concept called "near-infrared quantum cutting long persistent luminescence (NQPL)", which makes it possible for us to obtain highly efficient (>100%) near-infrared long persistent luminescence in theory. Guided by the NQPL concept, we fabricate the first NQPL phosphor Ca2Ga2GeO7:Pr(3+),Yb(3+). It reveals that both the two-step energy transfer of model (I) and the one-step energy transfer of model (IV) occur in (3)P0 levels of Pr(3+). Although the actual efficiency is not sufficient for the practical application at this primitive stage, this discovery and the associated materials are still expected to have important implications for several fields such as crystalline Si solar cells and bio-medical imaging.
