With suitable electron-phonon coupling strength, a near-unity broadband photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) can be achieved in organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) via self-trapped exciton (STE) emission. However, it is still challenging to obtain high-quality red emission from OIHMHs with a desirable emission wavelength and high chemical stability, which hinders their practical application in high-performance displays, plant-growth lighting, and biomedical imaging. Herein, a series of hafnium-based zero-dimensional (TPP)HfCl·4CHN (TPP: tetraphenylphosphonium) single crystals with different Sb doping levels are synthesized. The Sb-doped (TPP)HfCl·4CHN shows dual-band red emission with a full width at half-maximum of 178 nm and a high PLQY of 91.09%. This broad dual-band emission originates from dopant-induced extrinsic free excitons and STEs. Furthermore, (TPP)HfCl·4CHN:Sb was employed as a luminescence converter in a light-emitting diode (LED) for plant growth regulation. A correlated color temperature of 4055 K and a color rendering index of 82.13 were achieved upon excitation of the LED at 365 nm. These results provide fundamental perspectives on the emission behavior of Sb-doped OIHMHs and illustrate their promise for use in plant-growth lighting.

The ability to label synthetic oligonucleotides with fluorescent probes has greatly expanded their nanotechnological applications. To continue this expansion, it is essential to develop approachable, modular, and tunable fluorescent platforms. In this study, we present the synthesis and incorporation of an amino-formyl-thieno[3,2-]thiophene (AFTh) handle at the 5'-position of DNA oligonucleotides.

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.

Color-tunable white organic light-emitting diodes (CT-WOLEDs) have attracted widespread attention given their large color variation to meet the different daily scenarios from the perspective of circadian rhythm. However, most reported CT-WOLEDs, especially the tri-color devices, exhibit poor performances and sophisticated structures. Here, a simple structure tri-color CT-WOLED is demonstrated that simultaneously exhibits high efficiency, ultralong operation lifetime, and wide color-tunable range for dynamic sunlight emulation.

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.
