New Strategy for Optimizing the Properties of Copper Halide Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Lighting-emitting Materials.

Abstract

Copper(I) halide organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials have many advantages, such as diverse structure, facile synthesis, high luminescent efficiency, tunable optical performance, etc., and show a broad application prospect in energy-saving lighting, display and other fields. However, compared with commercial rare-earth-metal-based phosphors, the reported hybrids generally suffer from poor stability and low luminescent efficiency, which are the bottleneck problem of their practical application. With the aim of developing high-performance organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials, a new synthesis strategy has been reported. This strategy can systematically design and synthesis copper(I) halide ionic hybrid structures by combining the covalent bonding and ionic bonding between inorganic and organic components into one structure, and use their synergistic effect to optimizing their properties. This design method is expected to develop high-performance organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials, promote the in-depth understanding of this field, and provide new ideas for the optimization of other types of hybrid materials.
