Abstract

The Bi5(AlCl4)3 crystal, synthesized by a environmentally friendly room-temperature method using ionic liquids as reaction solvents, exhibits extremely broad near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) with a full width at the half maximum (FWHM) of >510 nm and an effective PL lifetime of 4.1 µs at 1160 nm. We envision that this study not only extends the understanding of photophysical properties of materials containing subvalent bismuth, but also may have promise for the design of novel photonic materials containing a wide array of p-block elements.
