Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of luminescent material preparation technology, specifically relating to a metal-polynitrogen heterocyclic complex glass material with tunable phosphorescence color and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Molecularly persistent luminescent materials, especially ultralong room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials, have attracted much attention in recent years in fields such as optical sensors, anti-counterfeiting technology, photodynamic therapy, and display devices. To achieve efficient persistent luminescence, researchers typically construct rigid environments to immobilize the phosphor, thereby limiting non-radiative decay and facilitating the realization of ultralong RTPs. Currently, research on ultralong RTP materials focuses primarily on materials in the form of powders, crystals, and thin films. However, these forms have limitations in large-scale and macroscopic applications, restricting the scope of practical applications.

[0003] Meanwhile, glass materials (including metallic, inorganic, organic, and polymer glasses) have shown broad application potential in fields such as construction, electronics, energy storage, and medicine due to their high transparency, good formability, and excellent mechanical strength and durability. However, many current glass manufacturing methods, such as melt-quenching and vapor deposition processes, are often time-consuming and energy-intensive. Therefore, developing a simple and environmentally friendly method to fabricate large-size glass at a macroscopic level, enabling easy operation and effective application, is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to provide a metal-polynitrogen heterocyclic complex glass material with tunable color and ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) performance, and its preparation method. In this material, coordination interactions exist between metal ions and ligand molecules, while residual solvent water molecules in the glass participate in strong hydrogen bonding interactions. These strong non-covalent interactions promote the formation of a rigid network structure. Furthermore, hydrothermal disturbances generated during heating and volatilization promote the formation of an amorphous glass structure.

[0005] The preparation method of the phosphorescent color-tunable metal-polynitrogen heterocyclic complex glass material is as follows: metal halide, polynitrogen heterocyclic ligand and concentrated hydrochloric acid are added to deionized water to obtain a mixed solution, and a hydrothermal reaction is carried out at 50-200℃ in a closed manner for 4-10 hours to obtain a clear solution; then the solution is heated at 50-200℃ to remove the solvent to obtain a transparent metal-polynitrogen heterocyclic complex glass material.

[0006] The metal halide is selected from one or more of the transition metals, Group III, IV, V metals, and lanthanides.

[0007] The metal halide is one or more of bromide salts, chloride salts, or double salts.

[0008] The polynitrogen heterocyclic ligands are selected from one or more of the following compounds: .

[0009] The concentration of metal halides in the mixed solution is from 0.002 mol / L to saturation.

[0010] The molar ratio of the polynitrogen heterocyclic ligand to the metal halide is 1-5:1.

[0011] The volume ratio of concentrated hydrochloric acid to deionized water is 0.00001-0.1.

[0012] This invention utilizes metal halides and polynitrogen heterocyclic ligands as raw materials, and successfully prepares a series of color-tunable ultralong RTP metal-polynitrogen heterocyclic complex glass materials through hydrothermal perturbation technology and a simple solvent evaporation method. These glasses exhibit high hardness and high transparency, and their phosphorescence color can be adjusted from blue to yellow, with an excited-state lifetime of up to 186.7 ms. Furthermore, this method is simple, efficient, and inexpensive, providing innovative ideas and approaches for the design and preparation of novel room-temperature phosphorescent glass materials.

Add these three chemicals to the lining of a reactor containing 15 mL of deionized water. After thorough stirring, place the sealed reactor in an oven at 130°C and heat for 6 h to promote dissolution and obtain a clear solution. Then, place the clear solution in an oven at the same temperature and continue heating with the oven open for 10 h to finally obtain a transparent indium-1,2,4-triazole complex glass.
