This study introduces a novel zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halide for single-component white light emission. Doping with antimony fine-tunes the luminescence, enabling efficient solid-state lighting applications.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Solid-State Chemistry
- Luminescence
Background:
- Low-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) are promising for solid-state lighting due to their single-component white light emission.
- Developing new OIMHs with tunable luminescence properties is crucial for advancing lighting technology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize and characterize a new zero-dimensional (0D) indium-based OIMH, (TMPDA)[InCl5(H2O)].
- To investigate its luminescence properties and explore the effect of antimony (Sb) doping on emission characteristics.
- To achieve single-component white light emission from this novel material.
Main Methods:
- Crystallization and structural analysis of the 0D OIMH.
- Photoluminescence spectroscopy to analyze emission spectra and mechanisms.
- Theoretical calculations to understand electronic structures and emission origins.
- Antimony doping to tune luminescence and achieve white light emission.
Main Results:
- The synthesized (TMPDA)[InCl5(H2O)] exhibits dual-band emission originating from organic ligands and self-trapped excitons.
- Antimony doping introduces an additional orange emission band.
- By adjusting Sb doping levels, emission color can be tuned, and single-component white light emission is achieved.
Conclusions:
- A new 0D In-based OIMH with hydrogen bonds shows potential for solid-state luminescence.
- Antimony doping offers a viable strategy to tune the emission color and achieve white light.
- This material demonstrates promise for next-generation single-component white light emitters.
