Materials with excitation-dependent emission are promising in applictions in encrypted information storage, multicolor display and anti-counterfeiting fields.

Recently, a research group led by Prof. HAN Keli from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) synthesized an all-inorganic 0D perovskite Cs2ScCl5·H2O with excitation-dependent emission behavior.
This study was published in Laser & Photonics Reviews on February 5.
The emission color of Cs2ScCl5·H2O could be simply tuned from blue-green to white to yellow by changing excitation wavelengths.
The origin of the tunable emission was attributed to the contribution of two different self-trapped exciton (STE) states.
Moreover, the researchers doped Sb3+ ions into Cs2ScCl5·H2O single crystals, leading to enhanced photoluminescence with about 100% photoluminescence quantum yield.
"This work provides new insights into the excitation-dependent emission in all-inorganic semiconductors, and presents a strategy to develop environmentally-friendly high-performance emitters," said by Prof. HAN.
This study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. (Text by ZHANG Ruiling)
