Abstract

The contribution of metal defects to the emission enhancement of Cu nanoclusters has been proposed. But the insufficient understanding of the defects luminescence mechanism limits its further effective adjustment and control to the emission color. In this work, the surface metal defects of the assembled fluorescent materials are deliberately engineered. Metal defects have effects on luminescent energy levels, which are relative to the dynamic process of exciton radiation transition and regulate the photophysical properties of the materials. Further studies demonstrate the surface metal defects possess shallow energy level and multi sublevels, broaden the emission colors. Moreover, the continuous alteration of emission color is achieved by simply adjusting the relative ratio of the surface and deep metal defects. Based on the full-color emission of copper clusters, the white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) with different color temperatures (warm, cold, and pure white) are prepared for illumination application.
