Maximizing
the regeneration of singlet excitons remains a considerable
challenge in deep-blue emission systems to obtain low-cost, high-efficiency
fluorescent materials. However, the formation of the long-lifetime
triplet excitons generally dominates the radiative process, making
it greatly difficult to harvest deep-blue emission with high color
purity because of the depression of singlet excitons. Here, a very
bright deep-blue emission in double perovskite Cs2Na0.4Ag0.6InCl6 alloyed with Bi doping
(CNAICB) was successfully achieved by pressure-driven reverse intersystem
crossing (RISC), an abnormal photophysical process of energy transfer
from the excited triplet state back to the singlet. Therein, the inherently
broad emission of CNAICB was associated with the self-trapped excitons
(STEs) at excited triplet states, whereas the radiative recombination
of STEs populated in excited singlet states was responsible for the
observed deep-blue emission. Moreover, the deep-blue emission corresponds
to Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates
(0.16, 0.06) at 5.01 GPa, which meets the requirement of Rec. 2020
display standards. Likewise, pressure was introduced as an efficient
tool to rule out the possibility of the recombination of free excitons
and clarify the long-standing conventional dispute over the origin
of the low-wavelength emission of Cs2AgInCl6. Our study not only demonstrates that pressure can be a robust means
to boost the deep-blue emission but also provides deep insights into
the structure–property relationship of lead-free CNAICB double
perovskites.
