Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluorescent carbon nanomaterials technology, and relates to a blue, green and red fluorescent carbon dot with high fluorescence quantum yield, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon dots are a new type of zero-dimensional fluorescent carbon nanomaterial. Based on the properties of carbon materials and the abundance of functional groups on their surface, they have advantages such as excellent optical properties, tunable emission color, low toxicity, and good photostability. They are mainly used in cell imaging, anti-counterfeiting, ion detection, optical devices and other fields.
[0003] Currently, the main method for preparing carbon dots is a bottom-up approach, using small molecules as raw materials and employing a solvothermal method to carbonize them under high temperature and high pressure. However, this method can only produce fluorescent carbon dots of a single color under most conditions, and the quantum yield is relatively low.
[0004] In recent years, Xiong Huanming's research group has used column chromatography to purify and separate carbon dots synthesized from o-phenylenediamine and urea (Ding H, Yu SB, Wei JS, et al. Full-Color Light-Emitting Carbon Dots with a Surface-State-Controlled Luminescence Mechanism[J]. ACS Nano (2016, 10: 484-491.), obtained full-spectrum luminescent carbon dots with a quantum yield of up to 24%; furthermore, their research group also used o-phenylenediamine and L-glutamic acid as raw materials (Ding H, Wei J, Zhang P, et al. Solvent-Controlled Synthesis of Highly Luminescent Carbon Dots with a Wide Color Gamut and Narrowed Emission Peak Widths[J]. Small (2018, 14: 1800612.), by controlling the solvent, full-spectrum emission from blue to near-infrared was achieved, with a quantum yield of up to 54%.
[0005] Wang L, Li W, Yin L, et al. Full-color fluorescent carbon quantum dots[J]. Science Advances(2020, 6: eabb6772.) Using o-phenylenediamine and weak acid as raw materials, by changing the type of weak acid and the ratio of weak acid to o-phenylenediamine, a full-spectrum luminescent carbon dot with a quantum yield of up to 72% was synthesized.
[0006] However, the luminescence of most carbon dots is controlled by their surface or core states, which places high demands on the selection of raw materials, solvents, and temperature control in carbon dot synthesis. The ability to prepare multicolor luminescent carbon dots with high fluorescence quantum yield by simply adjusting the proportions of raw materials is of great value for improving the optical properties of carbon dots and promoting their industrial application in optical devices.
[0007] Furthermore, current fluorescent solar concentrators not only exhibit low absorption efficiency and high reabsorption, but the commonly used quantum dot materials such as CdSe, CdS, and PbS are also prone to degradation, raising environmental and health concerns due to their toxicity. In contrast, carbon dots possess numerous advantages, including high stability, high absorption efficiency, and a large Stokes shift, making their application in fluorescent solar concentrators a promising prospect. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing blue, green, and red fluorescent carbon dots with high fluorescence quantum yield and their preparation method, for application in light-emitting diodes and fluorescent solar concentrators.
[0009] The blue, green, and red fluorescent carbon dots based on high fluorescence quantum yield described in this invention are prepared by dispersing phytic acid and o-phenylenediamine in a solvent and carrying out a solvothermal reaction, and by controlling the ratio of raw materials to obtain blue, green, and red carbon dots with high fluorescence quantum yield.
[0010] Specifically, blue carbon dots can be prepared when the mass ratio of phytic acid to o-phenylenediamine is (8-20):1; green carbon dots can be prepared when the mass ratio of phytic acid to o-phenylenediamine is (2-5):1; and red carbon dots can be prepared when the mass ratio of phytic acid to o-phenylenediamine is (0.1-1):1.
[0011] More specifically, the solvent is at least one selected from water, ethanol, methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dichloromethane.
[0012] The present invention also provides a specific method for preparing the three primary color fluorescent carbon dots, which involves dispersing phytic acid and o-phenylenediamine in different mass ratios in a solvent, placing them in a closed high-pressure reactor, heating to 180-250°C for a solvothermal reaction, filtering out the reaction product, and drying it to obtain blue, green, and red primary color carbon dots with high fluorescence quantum yield.
[0013] Furthermore, the solvothermal reaction time is preferably 10 to 34 hours.
[0014] This invention selects phytic acid and o-phenylenediamine in different mass ratios as raw materials and prepares blue, green and red fluorescent carbon dots with quantum yields of 19.2%, 68.68% and 60.29% respectively by a one-step solvothermal method. Among them, the blue carbon dots exhibit excitation-dependent characteristics in solution, while the green and red carbon dots exhibit excitation-independent characteristics in solution.
[0015] The present invention further provides the application of the blue, green, and red primary color fluorescent carbon dots in the fabrication of light-emitting diode devices.
[0016] Specifically, a solid-state luminescent three-primary-color carbon dot / polymer film is prepared by mixing the blue, green, and red primary-color fluorescent carbon dots with a polymer solution. This film is then used as a fluorescent material and assembled with chips of different excitation wavelengths to prepare a multicolor light-emitting diode.
[0017] More specifically, the polymer solution is a solution obtained by dissolving at least one of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethyl methacrylate or polysiloxane in its soluble organic solvent.
[0018] Among the chips with different excitation wavelengths, the excitation wavelength can be any one of 360nm, 380nm, 400nm, 420nm, 440nm, and 460nm.
[0019] Based on the excitation-dependent characteristics of blue carbon dots, the emission color of blue carbon dots varies when chips with different excitation wavelengths are used. For example, when using a chip with an excitation wavelength of 360nm, the emission corresponds to 430nm; correspondingly, chips with excitation wavelengths of 380nm, 400nm, 420nm, 440nm, and 460nm correspond to emission at 450nm, 465nm, 490nm, 520nm, and 540nm, respectively.
[0020] Furthermore, due to the significant excitation-dependent characteristics of the blue carbon dots, it is possible to fabricate white LED devices using them. This invention, by controlling the proportion of blue carbon dots in the solid-state luminescent three-primary-color carbon dot / polymer film, enables its emission spectrum to cover the entire visible light region. This allows for the fabrication not only of pure-color blue LED devices but also of cool white LEDs, standard white LEDs, and warm white LEDs.
[0021] Based on the independent excitation characteristics of green and red carbon dots, the emitted color is the same when using chips with different excitation wavelengths. Specifically, the green carbon dots emit 500nm green light, and the red carbon dots emit 600nm red light. Therefore, this invention preferably uses a conventional 360nm ultraviolet chip to fabricate green and red LED devices.
[0022] Furthermore, the present invention also provides the application of the blue, green, and red primary color fluorescent carbon dots in the preparation of multicolor fluorescent solar concentrators.
[0023] Specifically, a fluorescent solar concentrator is prepared by mixing the blue, green, and red primary color fluorescent carbon dots with a polymer solution to obtain a mixed solution, coating it on a glass surface, and coupling it with a solar cell.
[0024] More specifically, the polymer solution is a solution obtained by dissolving at least one of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethyl methacrylate or polysiloxane in its soluble organic solvent.
[0025] The fluorescent solar concentrator prepared by this invention has a solar absorption efficiency of up to 23.3%, and its large Stokes shift can also reduce the reabsorption efficiency of the fluorescent solar concentrator. Finally, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the single-sided coupled silicon-based solar cell prepared by the fluorescent solar concentrator can reach 0.3%.
[0026] However, due to the significant excitation-dependent characteristics of blue carbon dots, a large amount of reabsorption occurs, resulting in very low photoelectric conversion efficiency of fluorescent solar concentrators made from blue carbon dots. Attached Figure Description
