The invention relates to a
rare earth /
ionic liquid luminescent soft material and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of rare-earth functional materials. The luminescent soft material comprises the components of
ionic liquid, rare-earth ions and organic ligand which have the
mole ratio of 1:3:1.5-6; wherein the
ionic liquid is ionic liquid (I) or ionic liquid (II) which has the above
structural formula, wherein X=Br, (OTf), BF4, PF6 or NTf2; in the (I), R is
alkyl containing 2-6 carbons, and n=2-5; in the (II), n1=2-5, and n2=2-5; the rare-earth ions are Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Er, Yb, Tm or Dy; and the organic ligand is one or a mixture of two in Bipy, Bath, Phen, TTA, PM, PT, PC and PF. The
rare earth compound / ionic liquid material has rich luminescent colors,
high color purity, long
fluorescence service life, high
quantum efficiency as well as strong
heat stability and light stability, so as to be an optical soft material of great value, thus being widely applied to the fields such as display, optical
waveguide amplification,
solid-state lasers,
medical science, biological marker, anti-counterfeit technology, etc.
