主 题:photoluminescence carbon nitrides thermal polycondensation white light emission
摘 要:Carbon nitrides synthesized by thermal polycondensation of melamine at 700 ~C exhibit photoluminescence (PL) ranging from 400 to 650 nm. This broad PL is attributed to band to band transitions and bandtail transitions of lone pair (LP) states of intra-tri-s-triazine and inter-tri-s-triazine nitrogens. The proposed PL mechanism is further confirmed by diffusion reflectance spectroscopy, as well as time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL. This intense fluorescence is stable at different pH and resistant to UV exposure, suggesting that this inexpensive broadband luminescent material could be significant for white- light-emitting (WLE) applications. Thus, quasi-WLE films and membranes with designed patterns are fabricated by embedding the carbon nitrides into polymethyl methacrylate. Moreover, even broader PL (400 to 740 nm) is acquired in com- posite films composed of carbon nitrides, further suggesting that the carbon nitrides are robust candidates for WLE.
