A novel methodology to prepare transparent luminescent hybrid materials is reported. Using a calixarene ionophore as a PMMA cross-linker avoids problems, such as phase segregation, and produces a polymer monolith that can be loaded with the metal ion required for luminescence post-synthesis. This approach is versatile and will simplify the production of such materials.

Near-infrared (NIR) emitters with high two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-sections are of interest to enable imaging in the tissue transparency windows. This study explores the potential of DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (Ag -DNAs) as water-soluble two-photon absorbers. We investigate 2PA of four different atomically precise Ag -DNA species with far-red to NIR emission and varying nanocluster and ligand compositions.

Lead-Free Perovskite CsAgNaBiInCl Microcrystals for Scattering-Fluorescent Luminescent Solar Concentrators.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

Institute of Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology (i-MEET), Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Martensstrasse 7, Erlangen 91058, Germany.

In recent years, luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) have gained a renaissance as a pivotal transparent photovoltaic (PV) for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs). However, most of the studies focused on light-selective LSCs, and less attention was paid to the utilization of the full solar spectrum. In this study, a lead-free microcrystal CsAgNaBiInCl (CANBIC) perovskite phosphor is demonstrated to have bifunctional effects of luminescent down-shifting (LDS) and light scattering for the fabrication of LSCs, realizing light response from ultraviolet (UV) to NIR regions by an edge-mounted Si solar cell.

High-Brightness Color-Tunable AC-Driven Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes for Integrated Passive High-Electric-Field Contactless Detection.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

Institute of Optoelectronics Technology, Key Laboratory of Luminescence and Optical Information, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China.

This work explores the carrier recombination dynamics of AC-driven quantum dot (QD) light-emitting diodes (AC-QLEDs) and proposes their application in the field of electric field contactless detection. Different sequences of green QD (GQD)/red QD (RQD) bilayer thin films as the emission layer of AC-QLEDs were fabricated via film transfer printing to ensure the complete morphology of each layer. AC-QLEDs with the emission layer as the sequence of GQD + RQD (GR-QLEDs) show a significantly enhanced carrier recombination efficiency due to its stable energy level structure, achieving the highest peak brightness ever recorded for vertically emitting brightness of 1648.

Laser-driven projection displays face a critical challenge in developing laser-excitable and high-performance narrowband green emitters. Herein, new AlO-LaMgAlO: Mn (AlO-LMA: Mn) transparent composite ceramics are reported via high-temperature vacuum sintering, which produces a high-color-purity (95.4%) green emission with full width at half maximum of 24 nm and superior thermal and moisture and laser irradiation stability.

Two dimensional covalent organic framework (2D COF) films based on triphenylamine are considered to be promising electrochromic and energy-storage materials owing to their interlayer π-π electron delocalization, one-dimensional (1D) nanopores, and stable chemical structures. Triphenylamine-based 2D COF electrochromic films, nevertheless, rarely exhibit transparency and high optical contrast, which severely limited the scope of their application. In this work, two directly grown triphenylamine-based polyimide 2D COF films, TAPA-PMDA and TAPA-NTCDA PI COF, were prepared through solvothermal technology.
