Abstract
Metal halide-based broadband near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials face problems such as complicated preparation, high cost, low photoluminescence quantum yield, and high excitation energy. Here, incorporating Sb3+ and Br- into (C20H20P)2ZnCl4 crystals allowed for the achievement of efficient broadband near-infrared emission under 400 nm excitation while maintaining satisfactory environmental and thermal stability. The compounds exhibit a broad range of emission bands from 550 to 1050 nm, with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 93.57%. This is a groundbreaking achievement for organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide NIR luminescent materials. The near-infrared emission is suggested to originate from [SbX5]2-, as supported by the femtosecond transient absorption spectra and density-functional theory calculations. This phosphor-based NIR LEDs successfully demonstrate potential applications in night vision, medical imaging, information encryption, and anticounterfeiting.
