Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides for room-temperature phosphorescence

Abstract

The recent emergence of organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (MHs) with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have been paid tremendous attention due to their promising properties. Great achievement has been realized in developing MHs materials with high-performance RTP, but a systematic study on MHs materials with RTP feature is lacking. This review highlights recent advances in MHs RTP materials, including lead-based hybrid metal halides, lead-free hybrid metal halides and ion-doped hybrid metal halides. Additionally, the photophysical properties, and their applications of MHs RTP materials are discussed in detail. These RTP materials have been successfully applied in data encryption and security, intelligent sensing and optoelectronic devices. This review not only provides the basic principles of designing RTP hybrid metal halides, but also propounds the future research prospects of RTP hybrid metal halides. This review offers many effective strategies for developing hybrid metal halides with excellent RTP properties, thus satisfying practical applications.
