Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of luminescent materials technology, and more particularly to a method for preparing divalent manganese-based metal halide materials and their application in the fields of lighting and display. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, wide color gamut display devices are attracting increasing attention. Currently, commercial liquid crystal display devices combine blue light chips with narrow-band emitting β-Si... 6–z Al z O z N 8–z Eu 2+ Green phosphor and K2SiF6:Mn 4+ Red phosphors can achieve over 90% color coverage of the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard, resulting in lifelike displays. However, traditional narrow-band green phosphors suffer from drawbacks such as the use of large amounts of rare earth elements and demanding fabrication processes. In recent years, research has focused on developing novel rare-earth-free, low-cost, and high-performance phosphors, such as lead-based metal halide perovskite materials and cadmium-based quantum dots. Lead halide perovskite materials, in particular, possess excellent optoelectronic properties, including near-uniform photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQY), narrow emission peak linewidth, broad excitation band, and tunable emission wavelength, making them a promising next-generation optoelectronic material. However, the instability and toxicity of lead halide perovskite materials significantly hinder their commercial application.

[0003] Divalent manganese-based metal halides are ideal alternatives to lead halide perovskite materials due to their wide availability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Because of their unique dd transitions, the emission wavelength can be tunable by changing the crystal field strength. When Mn... 2+ When Mn forms a tetracoordinate with halogens, it exhibits narrow-band green light emission due to its low crystal field strength; 2+ When Mn forms a five-coordinate system with halogens, the crystal field intensity increases, resulting in yellow light emission; 2+When forming a six-coordinate structure with halogens, it exhibits higher crystal field intensity and red light emission. The tunable emission wavelength gives divalent manganese-based metal halides different application scenarios. Among them, tetra-coordinated manganese-based metal halides have narrow-band green light emission and high photoluminescence quantum efficiency, and the white light devices constructed have a wide color gamut, thus showing broad application prospects in backlight displays. However, the commercialization of divalent manganese-based metal halides still faces two major challenges: (1) High-performance manganese-based metal halide single crystals still face harsh preparation conditions, involving the use of large amounts of organic solvents or concentrated acids, while polycrystalline manganese-based metal halide powders have poor fluorescence performance; (2) The stability of different types of red / green emitters varies greatly, resulting in unstable color performance of LED devices. Therefore, developing simple, green, and large-scale methods to synthesize efficient divalent manganese-based metal halide phosphors with tunable emission wavelengths, and constructing efficient and wide-gamut white LED devices, remains an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for preparing highly efficient luminescent and wavelength-tunable divalent manganese-based metal halide materials, using tetramethylammonium halide and manganese halide as raw materials, and preparing [(CH3)4N] via a mechanochemical method. y MnX y+2 Manganese-based metal halide phosphors. Another object of the present invention is to provide applications of the above-mentioned divalent manganese-based metal halide materials.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides a method for preparing a highly efficient divalent manganese-based metal halide material with tunable light emission and emission wavelengths, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Add tetramethylammonium halide and manganese halide into a ball mill jar according to a molar ratio of tetramethylammonium:manganese = 0.4 to 3:1, and ball mill on a vibrating ball mill for 2 to 180 minutes according to a ball:material ratio of 5 to 25:1 to obtain the ball milled product;

[0008] (2) The ball-milled product is washed with an organic solvent, and the precipitate is collected by filtration or centrifugation and then dried at 40–70°C for 15–60 min to obtain [(CH3)4N]. y MnX y+2 Manganese-based metal halide phosphors, wherein (CH3)4N + It is a tetramethylammonium cation, X is Cl, Br or I, and y = 1 or 2.

[0009] Further, the tetramethylammonium halide of the present invention is one or a combination of tetramethylammonium chloride, tetramethylammonium bromide, or tetramethylammonium iodide, and the manganese halide is one or a combination of manganese chloride, manganese chloride tetrahydrate, manganese bromide, manganese bromide tetrahydrate, and manganese iodide. The organic solvent is one or a combination of anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol, and n-hexane, and its amount is such that the mass ratio of ball-milled product to organic solvent is 1:10-50.

[0010] In the above scheme, the [(CH3)4N] described in this invention y MnX y+2 The emission wavelength of manganese-based metal halide phosphors is tunable in the range of 514–628 nm. Among them, [(CH3)4N]2MnX4 manganese-based metal halide phosphor is a green emitting material with an emission wavelength tunable in the range of 514–534 nm; [(CH3)4N]MnX3 manganese-based metal halide phosphor is a red emitting material with an emission wavelength tunable in the range of 619–628 nm.

[0011] Another objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0012] The product prepared using the above-described method for producing highly efficient and tunable-emission divalent manganese-based metal halide materials is applied to white LED devices. The material obtained by mixing the [(CH3)4N]MnX3 manganese-based metal halide phosphor with [(CH3)4N]2MnX4 manganese-based metal halide phosphor is mixed with silicone, then coated onto an LED chip. After curing, a white light-emitting diode device with a device efficiency of 60.10–98.06 lm / W and a color gamut coverage of 98–102% of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) standard (CIE1931) is obtained. Preferably, the material is mixed at a mass ratio of [(CH3)4N]MnX3 manganese-based metal halide phosphor : [(CH3)4N]2MnX4 manganese-based metal halide phosphor = 0.4–4 : 1.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This invention utilizes the energy of high-speed collisions during ball milling. Tetramethylammonium halide and manganese halide particles are pulverized into small pieces while undergoing continuous mechanical interactions (including transient impacts and shearing), resulting in a high density of reaction sites on the surface. These exposed active sites are beneficial for triggering and accelerating chemical reactions, thereby synthesizing manganese-based metal halide phosphors. Furthermore, by changing the raw material ratio, the emission wavelength of the manganese-based metal halide phosphor can be tuned between 514 and 628 nm. The green light emission originates from the island-like [MnX4] tetrahedrons of [(CH3)4N]2MnX4. The PLQY of the [(CH3)4N]2MnX4 phosphor can reach 21-98%, with a peak position of 514-534 nm and an emission peak linewidth of 44-50 nm. The red light emission originates from the chain-like [MnX6] octahedrons of [(CH3)4N]MnX3. The PLQY of the [(CH3)4N]MnX3 phosphor can reach 40-51%, with a peak position of 619-628 nm and an emission peak linewidth of 75-80 nm.

[0015] (2) When the green light emitting material [(CH3)4N]2MnX4 phosphor and the red light emitting material [(CH3)4N]MnX3 phosphor of the present invention are applied to white LEDs, the efficiency of the resulting device can reach 60.10 to 98.06 lm / W, and the color gamut covers 98 to 102% of the NTSC standard, which belongs to the high-efficiency wide color gamut display.

[0016] (3) The preparation method of the present invention is simple, green, low cost, good repeatability and short production cycle, which is conducive to realizing large-scale industrial production. Attached Figure Description
