Peng Wu’s Team Discovered Multicolor Ultralong Phosphorescence from Perovskite-Like Octahedral α-AlF3

Date:Oct 13, 2022

Findings of the research team of Peng Wu, a research fellow in the Analytical and Testing Center, Sichuan University, indicate thatα-AlF3 (constituted by vertex sharing AlF6octahedral unit) exhibited long-lived color-tunable phosphorescence emission, which could last up to 7 seconds and be observed by naked eyes.

The research findings were published under the title "Multicolor Ultralong Phosphorescence from Perovskite-Like Octahedral α-AlF3" in Nature Communications. Sichuan University is the first work unit. Peisheng Cao, a Class 2022 doctoral student of the College of Chemistry, was the first author, and Peng Wu is the corresponding author. “To exclude the potential influence from trace impurities, direct synthesis of AlF3 through exposing aluminum metal of the highest purity available to HF vapor was carried out. As expected, similar emission properties were also obtained ---, confirming that the luminescence was exactly from AlF3”(Introduction)

Summary on the BX6 octahedra-based luminescence.

“---here we propose that the BX6 octahedron may be a core structure for luminescent inorganic materials. In this regard, excitation-dependent color-tunable phosphorescence is discovered from α-AlF3 featuring AlF6 octahedron. Through further exploration of the BX6 unit by altering the dimension and changing the center metal (B) and ligand (X), luminescence from KAlF4, (NH4)3AlF6, AlCl3, Al(OH)3, Ga2O3, InCl3, and CdCl2 are also discovered. The phosphorescence of α-AlF3 can be ascribed to clusterization-triggered emission, i.e., weak through space interaction of the n electrons of F atoms bring close proximity in the AlF6 octahedra (inter/intra). These discoveries will deepen the understanding and contribute to further development of BX6 octahedron-based luminescent materials.” (Abstract)
