Pollutions caused by heavy metals has become a wordwide concerned issue. Herein, CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots are used as fluorescent probe for selective detection of copper ions in organic phase with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.1 nM.
Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) comprising metal-free molecules that emit by the process of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) can be both sustainable and low cost. However, the blue emission performance of current TADF-LECs is unfortunately poor, which effectively prohibits their utilization in important applications, such as illumination and full-color displays. Here, this drawback is addressed through the development of a TADF-LEC, which delivers blue light emission (peak wavelength = 475 nm) with a high external quantum efficiency of 5.0%, corresponding to a current efficacy of 9.6 cd A -1 . It is notable that this high efficiency is attained at bright luminance of 740 cd m -2 , and that the device turn-on is very fast. It is demonstrated that this accomplishment is enabled by the blending of a carbazole-based 9-( 4-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-2methylphenyl)-3,6-dimethyl-9H-carbazole guest emitter with a compatible carbazole-based tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine:2,6-bis(3-(carbazol-9-yl) phenyl)pyridine blend-host for the attainment of bipolar electrochemical doping, balanced electron/hole transport, and exciplex-effectuated host-toguest energy transfer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
