Multi‐Color Pure Organic Room Temperature Phosphorescent Materials with Long Lifetime and High Efficiency

Abstract

AbstractOrganic room temperature phosphorescent (ORTP) materials have garnered significant interest in the fields of anti‐counterfeiting, optical display, and bio‐imaging owing to their distinctive optical properties. However, a major drawback of most existing ORTP materials is their short phosphorescence lifetime and low quantum yields (QYs), which greatly limit their applicability across multiple fields. In this paper, a covalently assisted host‐guest doping strategy that involves embedding three aminobenzoic acids with different carboxylate substitution positions into a cyanuric acid (CA) matrix through covalent bonding using microwave heating is proposed. All three prepared ORTP materials exhibit long phosphorescence lifetime exceeding 600 ms and high phosphorescence quantum yields (PhQYs) surpassing 20%. Among them, the composite of 2‐aminoterephthalic acid (2‐A) anuric acid stands out with its unique blue phosphorescence, boasting an exceptional absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 98.95% and remarkable phosphorescence quantum yield (PhQY) of 76.42%, along with a long lifetime of 800 ms. Importantly, these high‐performance ORTP materials have been successfully utilized in anti‐counterfeiting and display applications.
