Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermochromic luminescent materials technology. More specifically, it relates to a thermochromic luminescent material, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Spectral-responsive thermochromic luminescent materials (TLMs) have attracted widespread attention due to their cutting-edge applications in temperature visualization and sensing technologies. Commercially available thermocouples and infrared thermometers both have limitations. In devices using electromagnetic induction heating, traditional thermocouples are unsuitable due to material limitations, while limited penetration and unavoidable background signal interference restrict the application of infrared thermometers. Luminescent metal halide perovskites, with their tunable color and inexpensive synthesis process, have generated significant research interest in the optoelectronic field. Furthermore, the reversible color change of TLMs with temperature allows for the combination of luminescent and thermochromic materials in optical temperature indicators.

[0003] Metal halides (CsPbX3) have been extensively studied and reported in the field of thermochromic light. However, due to the toxicity of traditional lead halide perovskites, they are environmentally unfriendly in practical commercial applications, causing serious health problems even under extremely low exposure conditions. In recent years, researchers have focused on developing lead-free thermochromic luminescent materials. However, the types of publicly reported thermochromic luminescent materials are still relatively few. Therefore, the exploration of novel lead-free metal halide materials with excellent thermochromic luminescence properties, stability, and easy tunability has attracted considerable attention. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the first objective of this invention is to provide a thermochromic luminescent material. The thermochromic luminescent material provided by this invention induces exciton trapping and Mn+ ionization by partially replacing cadmium ions in the RbCdCl3 crystal structure with a very small amount of manganese ions. 2+ The spin-forbidden dd transition of ions enables differentiated luminescence at room temperature and 420K, exhibiting obvious reversible thermochromic luminescence characteristics.

[0005] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the aforementioned thermochromic luminescent material. This invention features a simple synthesis process, mild reaction conditions, abundant and inexpensive raw materials, and solves the problems of lead toxicity and instability in lead-based halide crystals. It is expected to be widely applied in the fields of intelligent responsive luminescence, anti-counterfeiting, and temperature measurement.

[0006] The third objective of this invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned thermochromic luminescent material in intelligent response luminescence, anti-counterfeiting, and temperature detection.

[0007] The fourth objective of this invention is to provide an anti-counterfeiting material.

[0008] The fifth objective of this invention is to provide a temperature detection device.

[0009] To achieve the first objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] This invention discloses a thermochromic luminescent material, wherein the general chemical formula of the thermochromic luminescent material is RbCd. (1-x) Mn x Cl3 is a colorless needle-like single crystal;

[0011] Where x is the mole fraction, and its value ranges from 0 < x ≤ 15%.

[0012] The thermochromic luminescent material provided by this invention, through the doping of a very small amount of manganese ions, achieves a response to external environmental temperature stimuli, undergoing a change in crystal structure and exhibiting obvious reversible thermochromic luminescence characteristics. Specifically, at room temperature, the thermochromic luminescent material belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Pnma, and its emission peak is located at 575nm, exhibiting red light emission. When the thermochromic luminescent material is heated to above 420K, its crystal structure changes to the tetragonal crystal system, the space group becomes P4 / mbm, and the emission peak is located at 575nm, exhibiting yellow light emission. Furthermore, after the thermochromic luminescent material is restored from a temperature above 420K to room temperature, it is found that the thermochromic luminescent material can still maintain yellow light emission for a relatively long time; that is, it can maintain yellow light emission after being placed in air for 12 hours, and then gradually changes to red light emission. Under sealed storage (non-vacuum environment), it can maintain yellow light emission for at least 2 days, after which it gradually changes to red light emission.

[0013] The thermochromic luminescent material provided by this invention exhibits increased red fluorescence intensity and increased yellow fluorescence intensity with increasing manganese doping intensity under ultraviolet light excitation at wavelengths of 200-400 nm. When the chemical formula of the thermochromic luminescent material is RbCd... 93.91% Mn 6.09% In Cl3, the yellow fluorescence intensity reaches its highest level, and the quantum yield reaches 100%, confirming that the more symmetrical tetragonal phase is more favorable for Mn. 2+ The photoluminescence of the thermochromic luminescent material was also observed. Furthermore, it was discovered that the fluorescence intensity of this thermochromic luminescent material increases with increasing temperature within the range of 160K-420K, exhibiting a significant resistance to thermal quenching. Therefore, due to its excellent reversible fluorescence color-changing properties, it holds promise for widespread application in fields such as intelligent responsive luminescence, anti-counterfeiting, and temperature detection.

[0014] The experiment also found that, over the entire range of x values, i.e., 0 < x ≤ 15%, RbCd (1-x) Mnx Cl3 can retain the original crystal structure of RbCdCl3 and exhibit obvious reversible thermochromic properties. Considering the thermochromic properties, when the value of x is in the range of 0 < x ≤ 0.4% and 5 ≤ x ≤ 7%, significant differential luminescence occurs with temperature changes. Specifically, when x is in the range of 0 < x ≤ 0.4%, relatively weak red light emission is observed at room temperature, and relatively strong yellow light emission is observed at 420 K. When x is in the range of 5 ≤ x ≤ 7%, relatively strong red light emission is observed at room temperature, and relatively stronger yellow light emission is observed at 420 K. Within these ranges, obvious luminescence and color change can be observed. In one specific embodiment, to obtain higher fluorescence intensity and quantum yield, it is preferable to control the value of x to be in the range of 5-7%.

[0015] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0016] This invention discloses a method for preparing the thermochromic luminescent material as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0017] A rubidium-containing compound, a cadmium-containing compound, and a manganese-containing compound were mixed and then heated in a hydrogen chloride solution until dissolved. The reaction mixture was then transferred to a hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for hydrothermal reaction. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled, filtered, and washed to obtain RbCd. (1-x) Mn x Cl3 single crystal.

[0018] Furthermore, the rubidium-containing compound is selected from one or more of rubidium-containing oxides (e.g., rubidium oxide), rubidium-containing hydroxides (e.g., rubidium hydroxide), and rubidium-containing chlorides (e.g., rubidium chloride);

[0019] The cadmium-containing compound is selected from one or more of cadmium-containing oxides (e.g., cadmium oxide), cadmium-containing hydroxides (e.g., cadmium hydroxide), and cadmium-containing chlorides (e.g., cadmium chloride);

[0020] The manganese-containing compound is selected from one or more of manganese oxides (e.g., manganese oxide), manganese hydroxides (e.g., manganese hydroxide), and manganese chlorides (e.g., manganese chloride).

[0021] Furthermore, the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 360-400K, and the time of the hydrothermal reaction is 2-8h.

[0022] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the rubidium-containing compound, the cadmium-containing compound, and the manganese-containing compound is 1:(0.4-0.95):(0.05-0.6). The molar ratio of the manganese-containing compound to the cadmium-containing compound should not be too large, as this may affect the crystal form of the final compound, making it difficult for it to maintain the original RbCdCl3 crystal structure and causing it to transform into other crystal phase structures.

[0023] Furthermore, the mass concentration of the hydrogen chloride solution is 20-38%.

[0024] Furthermore, the process includes drying after washing, with the drying temperature being 30-50°C and the drying time being 2-24 hours.

[0025] To achieve the third objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0026] This invention discloses an application of the thermochromic luminescent material described above in intelligent response luminescence, anti-counterfeiting, and temperature detection.

[0027] To achieve the fourth objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0028] This invention discloses an anti-counterfeiting material comprising the thermochromic luminescent material described above.

[0029] To achieve the fifth objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0030] This invention discloses a temperature detection device comprising the thermochromic luminescent material as described above.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0032] This invention discloses a thermochromic luminescent material, wherein the general chemical formula of the thermochromic luminescent material is RbCd. (1-x) Mn x Cl3, through doping with a very small amount of manganese ions, achieves a response to external environmental temperature stimuli, undergoing a change in crystal structure and exhibiting obvious reversible thermochromic luminescence properties. Specifically, at room temperature, the thermochromic luminescent material belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Pnma, and its emission peak is located at 575nm, exhibiting red light emission. When the thermochromic luminescent material is heated to above 420K, its crystal structure changes to the tetragonal crystal system, the space group becomes P4 / mbm, and the emission peak is located at 575nm, exhibiting yellow light emission. Furthermore, after the thermochromic luminescent material is restored from a temperature above 420K to room temperature, it is found that the thermochromic luminescent material can still maintain yellow light emission for a relatively long time; that is, it can maintain yellow light emission after being placed in air for 12 hours, and then gradually switch to red light emission. Under sealed storage (non-vacuum environment), it can maintain yellow light emission for at least 2 days, after which it gradually switches to red light emission.

[0033] The thermochromic luminescent material disclosed in this invention exhibits increased red fluorescence intensity and increased yellow fluorescence intensity with increasing manganese doping intensity under ultraviolet light excitation at wavelengths of 200-400 nm. When the chemical formula of the thermochromic luminescent material is RbCd... 93.91%Mn 6.09% In Cl3, the yellow fluorescence intensity reaches its highest level, and the quantum yield can reach 100%, confirming that the more symmetrical tetragonal phase is more favorable for Mn. 2+ Photoluminescence.

[0034] The thermochromic luminescent material disclosed in this invention exhibits a significant anti-thermal quenching effect, with its fluorescence intensity increasing as the temperature rises from 160K to 420K.

[0035] The thermochromic luminescent material disclosed in this invention not only maintains the original crystal structure of RbCdCl3, but also induces exciton self-trapping and Mn... 2+ The spin of ions prohibits dd transitions, thereby enabling structural changes in response to external environmental temperature stimuli.

[0036] This invention also provides a synthesis process that is simple, has mild reaction conditions, uses abundant and inexpensive raw materials, and solves the problems of lead toxicity and instability in lead-based halide crystals. It is expected to be widely used in the fields of intelligent responsive luminescence, anti-counterfeiting, and temperature measurement. Attached Figure Description
