Three types of red luminescent Eu(III) complexes with Schiff base and hfa ligands (hfa: hexafluoroacetylacetonate), mononuclear [Eu(hfa)(OAc)(salen)] (OAc: acetate anion, salen: N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine), brick-type [Eu(hfa)(OAc)(salbn)] (salbn: N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,4-butanediamine), and polynuclear [Eu(hfa)(OAc)(salhen)] (salhen: N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,6-hexanediamine) are reported for white light-emitting diode (LED) devices. Among these complexes, brick-type [Eu(hfa)(OAc)(salbn)] excited by blue light (460 nm) exhibits the photosensitized quantum yield (Φ = 47%) and remarkably high efficiency of sensitization (η = 96%). The efficiency of sensitization is caused by the excited state based on ligand-ligand interaction between the Schiff base and hfa ligands in Eu(III) complexes. To fabricate LED devices, the red luminescent [Eu(hfa)(OAc)(salbn)] was mounted on an InGaN blue LED chip.

Quantum dot (QD)-converted micrometer-scale light-emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) are regarded as an effective solution for achieving high-performance full-color micro-LED displays because of their narrow-band emission, simplified mass transfer, facile drive circuits, and low cost. However, these micro-LEDs suffer from significant blue light leakage and unsatisfactory electroluminescence properties due to the poor light conversion efficiency and stability of the QDs. Herein, the construction of green and red QD luminescence microspheres with the simultaneously high conversion efficiency of blue light and strong photoluminescence stability are proposed.

Metal halides are widely applied in solid-state lighting (SSL), optoelectronic devices, information encryption, and near-infrared (NIR) detection due to their superior photoelectric properties and tunable emission. However, single-component phosphors that can be efficiently excited by light-emitting diode (LED) chips and cover both the visible (VIS) and NIR emission regions are still very rare. To address this issue, (TPA)ZnBr:Sn/Mn (TPA = [(CHCHCH)N]) phosphors were synthesized by using the solvent evaporation method.

Lanthanide-doped upconversion luminescent nanoparticles (UCNPs) have garnered extensive attention due to their notable anti-Stokes shifts and superior photostability. Notably, Ho-based UCNPs present a complex energy level configuration, which poses challenges in augmenting their luminescence efficiency. Herein, a rational design strategy was used to enhance the upconversion luminescence intensity of Ho ions by improving the photon absorption ability and energy utilization efficiency.

Organic red/near-infrared (NIR) room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) holds significant potential for autofluorescence-free bioimaging and biosensing due to its prolonged persistent luminescence and exceptional penetrability. However, achieving activatable red/NIR organic RTP probes with tunable emission in aqueous solution remains a formidable challenge. Here we report on aqueous organic RTP probes with red/NIR phosphorescence intensity and lifetime amplification.

A series of carbazolylpyridine ()-based 6/5/6 Pt(II) complexes featuring tetradentate ligands with nitrogen or oxygen atoms as bridging groups was designed and synthesized, and the bridging nitrogen atoms were derived from acridinyl (Ac), azaaceridine (AAc) and carbazole (Cz). Systematic experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the ligand structures have a significant effect on the electrochemical, photophysical and excited state properties of these complexes. Their oxidation processes mainly occur on the carbazole-Pt moieties, whereas the reduction processes typically occur on the electron-deficient pyridine (Py) moieties.
