Article Abstract

Achieving high efficiency narrowband near-ultraviolet (NUV) emitters in organic light emitting diode (OLED) is still a formidable challenge. Herein, a proof-of-concept hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) molecule, named ICz-BO, is prepared and characterized, in which both multiresonant (MR) skeletons are integrated via conjugation connection. A slightly distorted structure and weak intramolecular charge transfer (CT) interaction between two MR subunits lead to a high-lying reverse intersystem crossing (h-RISC) channel of T→S, also evidenced by both experimental and calculated results. Impressively, the ICz-BO emitter exhibits outstanding narrowband NUV emission at 404 nm with a full-width at half maximum of 28 nm in toluene solution. The solution processable OLED shows an excellent device performance with the recorded maximum external quantum efficiency of 12.01 %, concomitant with an extremely low y-axis Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) value of 0.031. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest efficiency reported for the HLCT-based NUV-OLEDs to date. This research proves that the MR skeleton plays a positive effect on the narrowband hot exciton emitter, which provides an alternative paradigm for developing high-efficiency NUV emitters.

Near-ultraviolet (NUV) light is critical for applications in lighting, manufacturing, and medical fields, yet existing NUV emitters often suffer from complex syntheses or rely on toxic or unsustainable materials. Herein, we present a facile solvothermal synthesis of high-efficiency, narrow-band NUV-emitting carbon dots (NUV-CDs) derived from bio-derivable phloroglucinol. These NUV-CDs exhibit a sharp emission peak at 403 nm with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 60 % and a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 35 nm in ethanol solution.

Boron-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are promising materials for the development of displays due to their multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) with narrowband emission. However, except for electrophilic aromatic borylation reactions, synthetic strategies for the generation of boron-containing MR-TADF molecules remain virtually unexplored. In particular, the synthesis of MR-TADF emitters that exhibit narrow near-ultraviolet and pure deep-blue emission constitutes a challenging task.

Currently, the development of red Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials attracts a lot of attention in optical thermometry sensors, solid lighting, display, and plant growth areas. Nevertheless, the thermal stability of Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials is still a crucial issue. Herein, a new red RbNaVF:Mn luminescent material with outstanding thermal stability was successfully synthesized through the facial coprecipitation method.

In this study, a series of SrLuAl(BO):Sm red phosphors were successfully prepared with a high-temperature solid-phase technology. The Rietveld refinement analysis of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) diffraction patterns indicated that the as-prepared phosphors belong to the R3¯ space group of the hexagonal crystal system. Under 404 nm near-ultraviolet excitation, the SrLuAl(BO):Sm phosphor exhibits narrowband emission within the range of 550 to 750 nm.
