Persistent room temperature phosphorescence films based on star-shaped organic emitters

“…Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials with ultralong emission lifetime (>0.1 s) have received considerable attention recently owing to their promising applications in varying fields, including sensing, 1–4 imaging, 5,6 data encryption, 7,8 and organic electronics. 9–11 Unlike most phosphors based on organometallic complexes containing noble metals, metal-free phosphors are rare due to the slow intersystem crossing (ISC) process and serious non-radiative relaxation of triplet excitons under ambient conditions (in air and at room temperature).…”
