Orange Organic Long-persistent Luminescence from an Electron Donor/Acceptor Binary System
Organic long-persistent luminescence (LPL) materials can overcome the disadvantages of inorganic LPL materials in terms of element sustainability, processability, and color tunability. However, all published electron donor/acceptor binary organic LPL systems show green emission. Here, we report an organic LPL system consisting of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(p-diisobutylaminophenyl)-p-phenylenediamine (TBAPD) as a donor dopant and 2,8-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (PPT) as an acceptor host. The TBAPD/PPT film exhibits orange photoluminescence (CIEx, CIEy = 0.49, 0.49) and LPL (CIEx, CIEy = 0.51, 0.48).
