Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials hold promise for applications in bioimaging, anti-counterfeiting, and optoelectronics, yet the design of purely organic RTP materials remains challenging due to significant non-radiative deactivation pathways. This study demonstrates a hydrogen-bonding strategy to suppress non-radiative transitions. Photophysical characterizations revealed that CCA/PAA exhibits green afterglow with a lifetime of 374 ms, while the BrCCA/PAA film achieved an enhanced quantum yield of 27.88 % due to the heavy-atom effect of the bromine. Further, by incorporating fluorescent dyes into CCA/PAA, multicolor Superfluorescence was achieved through triplet-to-singlet resonance energy transfer. These findings demonstrated the capability to tune afterglow colors and lifetimes by varying the doping ratios and energy acceptor types. This work not only provides insights into the role of hydrogen bonding and heavy-atom effects in RTP materials but also offers a pathway for designing advanced optical materials with tunable and high-performance characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
