Thermally stable luminescent composites fabricated by confining rare earth complexes in the two-dimensional gallery of titania nanosheets and their photophysical properties.

Fluorescent composite materials of exfoliated titania nanosheets, Ti(0.91)O(2), and rare earth (RE) complexes, Eu(phen)(2)Cl(3).2H(2)O and Tb(phen)(2)Cl(3).2H(2)O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), were synthesized via flocculation between them. X-ray diffraction measurements and transmission electron microscopy observations confirmed a restacked lamellar structure for the composites, and elemental analysis revealed a high RE complex content of 15 wt %. The decomposition temperature of the complexes trapped in the composites was improved to 420 degrees C from 250 degrees C for the free form. The restacked composite composed of Ti(0.91)O(2) nanosheets and Eu(phen)(2) exhibited characteristic red emission from the complex, while the composite with Tb(phen)(2) gave featureless emission originated from the ligand. This phenomenon can be explained by a shift of triplet state level of the ligand after encapsulation in the host titania nanosheets. The quantum yield of europium complex in the composite was enhanced 1.6 times more than that of the pure complex.

Efficient electroluminescence from a new terbium complex.

Although lanthanide complexes have distinct advantages for use as light-emitting materials, such as sharp emission bands and 100% quantum efficiency theoretically, their performance was far below what is expected. A new terbium complex was designed and synthesized. Devices using it as an emitter present satisfactory performance, with the highest brightness of 12 000 cd/m2 and power efficiency of 11.3 lm/W, which is nearly 1 order of magnitude higher than what was reported previously. Comparison with analogous complexes indicated that this result originated from the terbium complex's well-balanced charge-transport properties.

Bright and monochromic red light-emitting electroluminescence devices based on a new multifunctional europium ternary complex.

A novel europium(III) complex, tris(dibenzoylmethanato)(2-4'-triphenylamino)imidazo[4,5-f]1,10-phenanthroline)europium(III), Eu(DBM)3(TPIP), is synthesized. The light-emitting center, hole-transporting triphenylamine and electron-transporting phenanthroline fragments are integrated into one molecule. A single-layer device of ITO/Eu(DBM)3(TPIP) (60 nm)/Mg0.9Ag0.1/Ag exhibits Eu(III)-based pure red emission with a maximum brightness of 19 cd m(-2) at 13.5 V and 280 mA cm(-2), and an onset driving voltage of 8 V. A four-layer device of ITO/TPD (20 nm)/Eu(DBM)3(TPIP) (40 nm)/BCP (20 nm)/AlQ(40 nm)/Mg0.9Ag0.1/Ag gives a maximum Eu(III)-based pure red emitting luminance of 1305 cd m(-2) at 16 V and 255 mA cm(-2) with an onset driving voltage of 6 V; the maximum external quantum yield and luminous yield are estimated to be 0.85% and 1.44 lm W(-1), respectively, at 7.5 V and 0.25 mA cm(-2).
