Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of heterocyclic compounds, and in particular to a two-component dopant and a preparation method thereof, a room temperature phosphorescent afterglow material and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has attracted widespread attention due to its long-lasting luminescence properties and large Stokes shift. It has shown great application potential in fields such as information storage, bioimaging, and gel remodeling. Constructing long-life RTP afterglow materials is an important research direction. Traditional RTP afterglow materials have a relatively simple morphology and limited application scenarios. Using water content to control the morphology of RTP afterglow materials can adapt to applications in a variety of scenarios, but the presence of water will quench triplet excitons and affect the service life of the RTP afterglow material. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a RTP afterglow material whose morphology can be controlled by water content without affecting its service life.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN118047753A discloses a pyrrocarbonylcarbazole derivative and its application in phosphorescent materials. The pyrrocarbonylcarbazole derivative is mixed with a host compound in chloroform at a specific ratio, and the solvent is slowly evaporated at room temperature to produce a phosphorescent afterglow material. Compared to earlier phosphorescent materials, this material is less toxic and less expensive, and has great potential in the field of phosphorescent anti-counterfeiting. However, the material's morphology cannot be changed, resulting in a limited range of applications. Chinese invention patent application CN118620610A discloses a long-life organic room-temperature phosphorescent material, its synthesis method, and its application. By incorporating NH3·H2O into a host-guest structure composed of CA and BDA, an NH3·H2O-stimuli-responsive OURTP material, CB-N, is constructed. Its phosphorescence lifetime and quantum yield are significantly improved, but water vapor quenches the phosphorescence, and the material's morphology cannot be adjusted using water content, limiting its application.
