[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of light-emitting materials, in particular to a flexible light-emitting film and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current stress luminescent film has a large luminescent response threshold after experiencing mechanical stimulation, resulting in an insensitive response. In addition, after the stress luminescent material is mixed and packaged with a colloid, the optical performance of stress luminescence is seriously degraded. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the technical problems in the background art, the present application provides a flexible light-emitting film and a preparation method and application thereof, aiming to solve the problems of low response efficiency of the existing light-emitting film and degradation of optical performance after mixed and packaged with a colloid.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a flexible light-emitting film, comprising a PDMS matrix and (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals dispersed in the PDMS matrix; having a mechanoluminescence performance, within a stretching range of 20-100%, the intensity of the mechanoluminescence performance linearly increases with the tensile strain.

[0005] In the technical scheme of the present application, the light-emitting film uses PDMS as the substrate and transparent (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals as the light-emitting material, and has good flexibility and visibility. The (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals trigger mechanoluminescence by hydrogen bond rupture and defect-assisted charge transfer under mechanical stress, so that the stress luminescence performance of the light-emitting film is stable and recoverable. Within a stretching range of 20-100%, the ML intensity linearly increases with the tensile strain, and the luminescence performance is sensitive.

[0006] In a second aspect, the present application provides an application of the flexible light-emitting film, which is applied to the fields of health monitoring, disaster warning of landslides and crack expansion.

[0007] In a third aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of the flexible light-emitting film, comprising the following preparation steps:

[0008] S1. Adding ethoxycarbonylmethyl (triphenyl) phosphonium bromide and manganese bromide powder into anhydrous ethanol, heating and stirring until completely dissolved to obtain a mixed solution;

[0009] S2. Cooling the mixed solution and stopping stirring to precipitate crystals;

[0010] S3. Drying the crystals to obtain (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals;

[0011] S4. Disperse the (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals in PDMS, and dry to obtain a (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film.

[0012] In the technical scheme of the embodiment, ethoxycarbonylmethyl (triphenyl) phosphonium bromide and MnBr4 are dissolved in an ethanol solvent to crystallize at a low temperature by a solution crystallization method to obtain transparent (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals. The crystals have sensitive and repeatable luminescence performance, and a flexible stress-responsive luminescent film is obtained by mixing the crystals with PDMS.

[0013] In some embodiments, in step S4, the mass ratio of the (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals to PDMS is 1:1-3.

[0014] In the embodiment, by mixing the luminescent material crystals and the PDMS substrate in a specific ratio, the flexible luminescent material maintains good luminescence performance while having good mechanical properties.

[0015] In some embodiments, in step S4, the drying temperature is 50-80℃.

[0016] In the embodiment, by drying at a specific temperature, the mechanical properties of the flexible material are maintained well.

[0017] In some embodiments, in step S1, the molar ratio of ethoxycarbonylmethyl (triphenyl) phosphonium bromide to manganese bromide is 2:1; the concentration of ethoxycarbonylmethyl (triphenyl) phosphonium bromide in the mixed solution is 17-19% (w / v), and the concentration of manganese bromide is 4-5% (w / v).

[0018] In the embodiment, ethoxycarbonylmethyl (triphenyl) phosphonium bromide and manganese bromide are dissolved in ethanol in a specific concentration and ratio, and the coordination assembly of ECMPBr and MnBr2 is more sufficient.

[0019] In some embodiments, in step S1, the heating temperature is 80-150℃; the stirring speed is 300-500 r / min, and the stirring time is 30-90 min.

[0020] In the embodiment, by heating, ECMPBr and MnBr2 are fully dissolved in anhydrous ethanol. If the temperature is too high, the solvent is easily volatilized and lost. If the temperature is too low, the ECMPBr and MnBr2 powder cannot be dissolved in the solvent. By stirring, the mixture is dissolved faster and the reaction is more sufficient.

[0021] In some embodiments, in step S2, the cooling temperature is 25-80℃.

[0022] In this embodiment, the synthesized (ECMP)2MnBr4crystals can be stably precipitated by cooling at a suitable temperature. If the temperature is too high, the solvent will quickly evaporate and the crystals cannot be precipitated. If the temperature is too low, the crystals cannot be uniformly precipitated or cannot be precipitated.

[0023] In some embodiments, the temperature for drying in step S3 is 50-70°C.

[0024] In this embodiment, the (ECMP)2MnBr4crystals are dried by baking.

[0060] Embodiment 1

[0061] The embodiment provides a preparation method of a flexible light-emitting film, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] (1) Weigh 2 mmol of ECMPBr and 1 mmol of MnBr2 and add them to 5 mL of anhydrous ethanol. Stir at 400 r / min for 1 h on a heating plate at 100 °C to obtain a mixed solution.

[0063] (2) Cool the mixed solution to 70°C and stop stirring to precipitate crystals.

[0064] (3) The precipitated crystals were dried at 60°C to obtain (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals.

[0065] (4) After grinding (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals at a mass ratio of 1:2, mix them with PDMS in a petri dish, pour the mixture into a mold, and dry it in an oven at 60°C to obtain (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film.

[0066] Figure 1 These are photographs of the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film prepared in this embodiment under friction, extrusion, and stretching conditions.

[0067] Depend on Figure 1 As can be seen, the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film prepared in this embodiment emits obvious green fluorescence under mechanical stimulation (friction, extrusion and stretching).

[0068] The ML properties of the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS thin film prepared in this embodiment were tested, and the results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0069] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the mechanoluminescence and photoluminescence spectra of the luminescent material (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystal in the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS thin film prepared in this embodiment are basically consistent, both originating from Mn 2+ The dd transition emits light.

[0070] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the luminescence effect of the (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystal in the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film prepared in this embodiment under different mechanical stimuli (friction, extrusion, and stretching).

[0071] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS thin film prepared in this embodiment can achieve efficient energy transfer and carrier recombination under different mechanical stimuli (friction, extrusion and stretching), thereby exciting typical Mn 2+ 6A1→ 4T1 green light. Specifically, the rubbing action produces a large number of free electrons and holes through surface charge separation, and promotes the release of trapped carriers in shallow traps and deep traps in turn; in the process of extrusion, the local stress concentration forms a new trap release path, which injects more carriers into the conduction band and accelerates the recombination luminescence; and the tensile deformation fine-tunes the energy level structure by changing the lattice strain and trap distribution, thereby optimizing the energy transfer efficiency from the trap to the Mn 2+ energy transfer efficiency of the luminescent center.

[0072] The quantitative evaluation of the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film prepared in this embodiment was carried out by using an optical and mechanical test system, and the results are shown in Figure 4 .

[0073] As can be seen from Figure 4 , the ML intensity of the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film prepared in this embodiment increases linearly with the tensile strain in the tensile range of 20-100%.

[0074] Examples 2-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0075] Examples 2-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 respectively provide a preparation method of a flexible luminescent film, which differs from Example 1 in that the ratio of (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystals and PDMS in step (4) is different, as shown in Table 1, and the other steps are substantially the same as those of Example 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0077]

[0078] The (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS film prepared in Examples 2-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was respectively subjected to tensile test, and the results are shown in Figure 5 .

[0079] As can be seen from the results in Figure 5 , Examples 2 and 3 can emit bright green fluorescence under stress; Comparative Example 2 emits weak light under stress; the film prepared in Comparative Example 1 has very low tensile strength, necks and rapidly breaks at a very small strain, with an elongation at break of less than 10%, showing obvious brittle fracture characteristics.

[0080] Examples 4-5 and Comparative Examples 3-4

[0081] Examples 4-5 and Comparative Examples 3-4 provide a method for preparing a flexible light-emitting film. The difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is that the drying temperature in step (4) is different, as shown in Table 2. The other steps are roughly the same as in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0082] Table 2 shows the drying temperatures in Examples 4-5 and Comparative Examples 3-4.

[0084] The morphology of the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS films prepared in Examples 4-5 and Comparative Examples 3-4 was evaluated, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0085] Depend on Figure 6 The results show that the films prepared in Examples 4 and 5 have complete morphology, the film in Comparative Example 3 cannot be formed at the drying temperature, and the internal crystals of the film in Comparative Example 4 begin to melt at the drying temperature, and the film turns yellowish-brown.

[0086] Figure 7 The image shows the stress response and disaster early warning simulation of the (ECMP)2MnBr4@PDMS thin film prepared in Example 1 of this application.

[0087] In summary, this application provides a flexible luminescent film, its preparation method, and its applications. The luminescent film of this application uses PDMS as a substrate and transparent (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystal as the luminescent material, exhibiting good flexibility and visibility. Under mechanical stress, the (ECMP)2MnBr4 crystal triggers mechanoluminescence through hydrogen bond breaking and defect-assisted charge transfer, resulting in stable and recoverable stress-induced luminescence performance of the luminescent film. Within a tensile range of 20–100%, the mechanoluminescence (ML) intensity increases linearly with tensile strain, demonstrating sensitive luminescence performance. The flexible luminescent film prepared by this invention utilizes a green and simple preparation process with non-toxic raw materials. The flexible luminescent material exhibits rapid fluorescence response to mechanical stimuli and high sensitivity, showing promising application prospects in disaster early warning (landslides, crack propagation).
