Electrospun, emission color-tunable nanofibrous sheets were fabricated by multinozzle electrospinning equipped with a secondary electrode for the preparation of white-emissive sheets under a single excitation source, manipulating energy transfer between dyes. By control of the concentration of commercially available red, green, and blue dyes in the matrix polymer [poly(methyl methacrylate)], emission color tuning can be easily accomplished because each dye is located in spatially separated fibers to maintain enough distance to prevent or suppress energy transfer, allowing white-light emission. The application of dye separation for the white-light emission upon excitation with a blue light-emitting-diode lamp is demonstrated, indicative of its potential application for the easy and facile tuning of fluorescence color toward flexible illumination.

White-light generation using small organic molecules has gained significant attention from researchers working on the interface of supramolecular chemistry and organic materials. Self-assembled multi-chromophoric materials utilizing a drug molecule and microenvironment-sensitive intramolecular charge transfer dye as an emitter offer the possibility of tunable emission. In this investigation, we focused on white light generation via the combination of a polarity-sensitive red-emitting styryl chromone (SC) and a blue-emitting anticancer and psychotherapeutic drug Norharmane (NHM) in a self-assembled micellar system.

Blue light emitted by commercial white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) in the 440-470 nm range poses ocular health risks with prolonged exposure. Effective filtration is crucial for health-conscious lighting, but traditional filters often cause color distortion by completely removing blue emission. In this study, we address this challenge by synthesizing carbon dots (CDs) with strong absorption at 460 nm and bright cyan emission at 485 nm, featuring a photoluminescence quantum yield of 65% and a narrow full width at half-maximum of 30 nm.

Elevated temperatures can lead to reabsorption and color drift, compromising the quality of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diode (pc-WLED) devices. To ensure the performance of WLEDs under these conditions, it is essential to develop luminescent materials that maintain stable color. Consequently, there is a pressing need for single-phase white-emitting phosphors with robust chromatic stability.

Reported herein is the first example of a ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation of phenothiazine-3-carbaldehydes to construct structurally diverse pyrido[3,4-]phenothiazin-3-iums with dual-emission characteristics. Novel organic single-molecule white-light materials based on pyrido[3,4-]phenothiazin-3-iums with dual-emission and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics have been developed for the first time herein. Furthermore, the dual-emission molecule could be fabricated as water-dispersed NPs, which could be applied in two-channel emission intensity ratio imaging to observe the intercellular structure and can specifically target the cell membrane.
