Near‐Unity Photoluminescent Copper(I) Halide Hybrids with Multifunctionality in WLEDs, X‐Ray Scintillation and Information Encryption

ABSTRACT Organic–inorganic copper‐based halides have become a current research hotspot due to their excellent optical properties, structural diversity, favorable stability, and low toxicity. Herein, we report a low‐cost, large‐scale synthesized All‐in‐One (AIO) structural copper(I) halide hybrid material, Cu 6 I 8 (bu‐ted) 2 (bu‐ted = 1‐butyl‐1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan‐1‐ium bromide), which generates broadband green‐yellow emission (530 nm) via self‐trapped excitons (STEs), with excellent photoluminescent quantum yield (99.38% ± 0.41%) and thermal stability (decomposition temperature reaches 295°C). Its multifunctionality has been demonstrated in high‐performance white LEDs (R a = 91.5), ultrasensitive X‐ray imaging scintillators (detection limit: 366.5 nGy air /s, resolution reaches 20 lp/mm), and information encryption labels via reversible emission shifts (Δ λ em = 85 nm) triggered by dichloromethane vapor/solution with rapid KI‐enabled resetting. This work further demonstrates the excellent properties of AIO‐type copper(I) halide hybrid materials and their commercialization potential for multifunctional applications.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Organic–inorganic copper‐based halides have become a current research hotspot due to their excellent optical properties, structural diversity, favorable stability, and low toxicity. Herein, we report a low‐cost, large‐scale synthesized All‐in‐One (AIO) structural copper(I) halide hybrid material, Cu 6 I 8 (bu‐ted) 2 (bu‐ted = 1‐butyl‐1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan‐1‐ium bromide), which generates broadband green‐yellow emission (530 nm) via self‐trapped excitons (STEs), with excellent photoluminescent quantum yield (99.38% ± 0.41%) and thermal stability (decomposition temperature reaches 295°C). Its multifunctionality has been demonstrated in high‐performance white LEDs (R a = 91.5), ultrasensitive X‐ray imaging scintillators (detection limit: 366.5 nGy air /s, resolution reaches 20 lp/mm), and information encryption labels via reversible emission shifts (Δ λ em = 85 nm) triggered by dichloromethane vapor/solution with rapid KI‐enabled resetting. This work further demonstrates the excellent properties of AIO‐type copper(I) halide hybrid materials and their commercialization potential for multifunctional applications.
