A co-doping strategy to fabricate ultralong organic room temperature
phosphorescence (ORTP) materials: designing, preparation and advanced
applications
Abstract
Isophthalic acid (IPA) is a star phosphorescence molecule, which is a
commercially available raw material with simple chemical structure, but
is of good phosphorescence performance. However, the great research
vacancy is still maintained because of its limited applications.
Absolutely, polymer-matrix strategy is a common method to produce
phosphorescence amorphous material by dispersing IPA into matrix such as
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). But how to further optimize the phosphorescence
property of the resulted doping material (PVA-IPA)? Up to now, this
question is new and very little attention has been paid. In this work, a
co-doping strategy was explored, that is, charging the second dopant of
ClCH2COOH into PVA-IPA was verified as a promising method to further
enhance the phosphorescence property of PVA-IPA, leading to the
co-doping material PVA-IPA-ClCH2COOH with ultralong phosphorescence
lifetime as 500 ms and high phosphorescence quantum yield (ΦP) as
23.7%. Depending on these promising phosphorescence behaviors,
PVA-IPA-ClCH2COOH was successfully applied in the fields of information
anti‐counterfeiting and artificial light harvest.
