Abstract
Zero-dimensional metal halides with diverse structures and rich photophysical properties have been reported. However, achieving multimode dynamic luminescence and efficient near-infrared (NIR) emission under blue light excitation in a single system is a great challenge. Herein, Sb3+-doped hybrid Cd(II) halides were synthesized by a large scale synthesis process at room temperature. Compared with the poor emission of (C12H28N)2CdX4 (C12H28N = tetrapropylammonium; X = Cl and Br) and single steady-state visible light emission of (C12H28N)2SbX5, (C12H28N)2CdX4:Sb3+ exhibits efficient tunable emission from visible to NIR regions. More specifically, (C12H28N)2CdCl4:Sb3+ exhibits distinct excitation wavelength-dependent luminescence characteristics, which can change from green to white and orange emission. Parallelly, halogen substitution can regulate the optical properties of Sb3+-doped (C12H28N)2CdCl4-xBrx (x = 0-1), which enables the excitation and emission bands to exhibit a significant redshift. Thus, the efficient broad NIR emission upon 450 nm excitation was realized in (C12H28N)2CdBr4:Sb3+. In addition, we demonstrated the use of (C12H28N)2CdCl4:Sb3+ phosphors in solid state lighting, and an advanced NIR light source was fabricated by coating (C12H28N)2CdBr4:Sb3+ on a commercial blue chip (450 nm), which exhibits the most advanced photoelectric efficiency (14.67%) and output power (32.84 mW) in hybrid metal halides. Finally, we also demonstrated the use of Sb3+-activated phosphors in four-level fluorescence anti-counterfeiting and information encryption.
