Efficient and almost pure white‐light emission is obtained by combining singlet and triplet emission in a single‐polymer device. The polymers used in this work include a benzothiadiazole group attached to a fluorene backbone and an iridium complex attached to the side chain (see figure). White‐light emission with CIE color coordinates of (0.32, 0.44) and a luminance efficiency of 6.1 cd A–1 is obtained.
A simple and effective strategy on producing solution-processable materials with highly efficient and persistent room-temperature-phosphorescence (RTP) is presented here.
A series of electrophosphorescent conjugated fluorene-alt-carbazole copolymers are synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation. A diketone-ended alkyl chain which is grafted in the N-position of
carbazole serves as a ligand to form a pendant cyclometalated Ir complex with 1-phenylisoquinoline (Piq),
2-naphthylpyridine (Napy), and 2-phenylquinoline (Phq). The PL efficiencies of PFCzIrPiq and PFCzIrPhq
copolymers are around 60% and 70%, respectively. EL emission from the backbone of PFCzIrPiq and
PFCzIrPhq copolymers is completely quenched even though the Ir complex contents in the polymers are
as low as 0.5 mol %. The device of PFCzIrPiq05 copolymer shows the highest external quantum efficiency
of 4.9% ph/el and the luminous efficiency of 4.0 cd/A with 240 cd/m2 at a bias voltage of 7.7 V and a peak
emission of 610 nm. The device efficiency of PFCzIrPiq05 copolymer still remains high (QE ext = 3.4%
ph/el and LE = 2.9 cd/A) with a luminance of 2978 cd/m2 even at a current density of 100 mA/cm2. The
enhancement of the device performance could be due to the higher triplet energy and meanwhile to suitable
HOMO and LUMO levels for efficient charge injection by introducing a carbazole unit into the polyfluorene
backbone at the 3,6-linkage and blending PBD into the copolymers.
Herein, new types of zero‐dimensional (0D) perovskites (PA6InCl9 and PA4InCl7) with blue room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) were obtained from InCl3 and aniline hydrochloride. These are highly sensitive to external light and force stimuli. The RTP quantum yield of PA6InCl9 can be enhanced from 25.2 % to 42.8 % upon illumination. Under mechanical force, PA4InCl7 exhibits a phase transform to PA6InCl9, thus boosting ultralong RTP with a lifetime up to 1.2 s. Furthermore, white and orange pure RTP with a quantum yield close to 100 % can be realized when Sb3+ was introduced into PA6InCl9. The white pure phosphorescence with a color‐rendering index (CRI) close to 90 consists of blue RTP of PA6InCl9 and orange RTP of Sb3+. Thus, this work not only overcomes long‐standing problems of low quantum yield and short lifetime of blue RTP, but also obtains high‐efficiency white RTP. It provides a feasible method to realize near‐unity quantum efficiency and has great application potential in the fields of optical devices and smart materials.
Four isomers with the composition SmC(90) were obtained from carbon soot produced by electric arc vaporization of carbon rods doped with Sm(2)O(3). These were labeled Sm@C(90)(I), Sm@C(90)(II), Sm@C(90)(III), and Sm@C(90)(IV) in order of their elution times during chromatography on a Buckyprep column with toluene as the eluent. Analysis of the structures by single-crystal X-ray diffraction on cocrystals formed with Ni(octaethylporphyrin) reveals the identities of the individual isomers as follows: I, Sm@C(2)(40)-C(90); II, Sm@C(2)(42)-C(90); III, Sm@C(2v)(46)-C(90) and IV, Sm@C(2)(45)-C(90). This is the most extensive series of isomers of any endohedral fullerene to have their individual structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cage structures of these four isomers can be related pairwise to one another in a formal sense through sequential Stone-Wales transformations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
