Abnormal thermally-stimulated dynamic organic phosphorescence

Abstract Dynamic luminescence behavior by external stimuli, such as light, thermal field, electricity, mechanical force, etc., endows the materials with great promise in optoelectronic applications. Upon thermal stimulus, the emission is inevitably quenched due to intensive non-radiative transition,...

description Abstract Dynamic luminescence behavior by external stimuli, such as light, thermal field, electricity, mechanical force, etc., endows the materials with great promise in optoelectronic applications. Upon thermal stimulus, the emission is inevitably quenched due to intensive non-radiative transition, especially for phosphorescence at high temperature. Herein, we report an abnormal thermally-stimulated phosphorescence behavior in a series of organic phosphors. As temperature changes from 198 to 343 K, the phosphorescence at around 479 nm gradually enhances for the model phosphor, of which the phosphorescent colors are tuned from yellow to cyan-blue. Furthermore, we demonstrate the potential applications of such dynamic emission for smart dyes and colorful afterglow displays. Our results would initiate the exploration of dynamic high-temperature phosphorescence for applications in smart optoelectronics. This finding not only contributes to an in-depth understanding of the thermally-stimulated phosphorescence, but also paves the way toward the development of smart materials for applications in optoelectronics.
