Realizing near white and warm light emission of cuprous iodide complexes by alkyl-isomerization of ligands†
Abstract
Four novel all-in-one structured cuprous iodide hybrid materials are presented. Isomerization of the alkyl chain on the ligand improved material thermal stability and regulated their luminescence to warm and near-white light emission, with the internal quantum yield increasing from 5% to 83%. This provides a reasonable route for designing white light emitting cuprous iodide materials for solid-state lighting in future.
