Abstract
Metal-free or purely organic phosphorescent materials (phosphors) with ultralong emission lifetimes have emerged as an important class of multifunctional materials with a wide array of applications. However, the mechanistic understanding of phosphorescence in purely organic emitters apparently lags behind practical accomplishments, and the existing knowledge has not been summarized properly. For example, despite the impurity effect on phosphorescence from metal-free organic emitters having been well-recognized for over a century, recent studies have rediscovered the critical role of impurities in the phosphorescence. Hence, this review aims at bridging the apparent knowledge gap by integrating prior understanding with the latest findings on the role of impurities in phosphorescence. In addition, purification methods of phosphors, methodologies to test for impurity-induced emission, and mechanistic considerations for impurity-induced phosphorescence are highlighted.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
