Scanning electronic microscope （SEM） and laser scattering analysis demonstrate that salt can be removed from the surface of particles by washing with Milli-Q water and the particles can be further separated by ball-milling to get well-dispersed Pr^3＋ ions doped CBT fine particles. The luminescence properties, such as photoluminescence （PL） and mechanoluminescence （ML）, of as-synthesized Pr： CBT particles were investigated. For Pr： CBT fine particles with different Ca molar ratios, all the samples show one emission at 612 nm, with increasing Ca molar ratio, PL intensity of Pr： CBT fine particles become stronger and stronger. When pressure was loaded on the Pr： CBT pellet, mechanoluminescence（ML） emission was measured. The results show that the ML intensity is proportional to the applied pressure.展开更多

文摘We report that the co-doping of Li^(+)ions significantly enhances the crystallinity and mechanoluminescence(ML)intensity of CaZnOS:Mn.The prepared CaZnOS:Mn,Li showed a preferred orientation of c-axis,and the particles possessed a plate-like morphology,which could be attributed to the layered structure of CaZnOS.At the same time,the ML induced by compressive load exhibited intense red emission and obvious intensity enhancement by the Li^(+)co-doping.

文摘This paper highlights our work on the recent progress in novel elastico-mechanoluminescence(EML)materials CaZnOS:Mn^(2+)and CaZr(PO_(4))_(2):Eu ^(2+),which can simultaneously"feel"(sense)and"see"(image)the applied mechanical stress as an intense and proportional luminescence.CaZnOS:Mn 2þcan sense various types of mechanical stress,including ultrasonic vibration,impact,friction and compression because of the large piezoelectric coefficient.CaZr(PO_(4))_(2):Eu ^(2+)with multiple trap levels shows a broad measurement range for dynamic load.Both of CaZnOS:Mn^(2+)and CaZr(PO_(4))_(2):Eu ^(2+)belong to the defect-controlled type pie-zoelectric phosphors,and their EML mechanisms could be explained using the piezoelectrically induced carrier de-trapping model.

文摘Luminescent hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks(HOFs)have attracted increasing attention due to their corresponding luminescence that enables readily visualization of structural dynamics.HOFs with the mechanoluminescence(ML)property can emit light without photon excitation and are greatly attractive for advanced applications,but research in this area has been limiting.Herein,we report the first example of an ML-active flexible HOF with permanent porosity,named 8PCOM,assembled from polar molecular rotors with an aggregation-induced emission property.When responding to different solvent vapors,reversible structural transformations between ML-active and-inactive 8PCOM frameworks occur,including a single-crystal-to-single-crystal(SCSC)transformation.Thus,guest-induced breathing behaviors are mainly attributed to phenyl rotations of polar molecular rotors induced by external stimuli.During reversible structural transformations of various 8PCOM frameworks with different pores,the significant ML property is achieved successfully through supramolecular dipole moment regulation.Upon mechanical force,bright emission of the ML-active 8PCOM framework is observed without UV irradiation,and the ML-active crystals can be easily prepared and regenerated.This work not only provides a valuable strategy for engineering future multifunctional HOFs but also enriches the types and applications of existing luminescent porous materials.

文摘Self-powered flexible devices with skin-like multiple sensing ability have attracted great attentions due to their broad applications in the Internet of Things(IoT).Various methods have been proposed to enhance mechano-optic or electric performance of the flexible devices;however,it remains challenging to realize the display and accurate recognition of motion trajectories for intelligent control.Here,we present a fully self-powered mechanoluminescent-triboelectric bimodal sensor based on micronanostructured mechanoluminescent elastomer,which can patterned-display the force trajectories.The deformable liquid metals used as stretchable electrode make the stress transfer stable through overall device to achieve outstanding mechanoluminescence(with a gray value of 107 under a stimulus force as low as 0.3 N and more than 2000 cycles reproducibility).Moreover,a microstructured surface is constructed which endows the resulted composite with significantly improved triboelectric performances(voltage increases from 8 to 24 V).Based on the excellent bimodal sensing performances and durability of the obtained composite,a highly reliable intelligent control system by machine learning has been developed for controlling trolley,providing an approach for advanced visual interaction devices and smart wearable electronics in the future IoT era.

文摘Persistent luminescence (PersL) materials,as environmentally friendly and energy-saving materials,have broad application prospects in many fields such as lighting,chemistry and even biomedicine.However,studies on the types,performances and mechanism of PersL materials are still insufficient,which significantly restricts their development and application.Under this consideration,we successfully synthesized a yellow PersL material CaSrGa_(4)O_(8)(CSG).The crystal structure was studied in detail through Rotation Electron Diffraction (RED) and Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD).What’s more,by co-doping Mn^(2+) and Yb^(3+),the afterglow brightness of CSG could be increased by nearly 20 times,and the afterglow duration could reach more than 6 h.It is worth mentioning that the samples also have excellent performances in mechanical luminescence (ML),photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and cathodoluminescence (CL),which was also investigated systematically.Finally,an anti-counterfeiting label was designed by the samples to reveal the potential of their application in anti-counterfeiting.The results showed that our research not only provided a new candidate PersL material for multifunctional applications,but also gave good help for studying the physical and chemical properties of CSG.

文摘CaxBa1-xTiO3 （CBT） fine particles doped with red luminescence center of Pr3＋ ions （Pr： CBT） were successfully synthesized by salt assisted spray pyrolysis （SASP） process. Scanning electronic microscope （SEM） and laser scattering analysis demonstrate that salt can be removed from the surface of particles by washing with Milli-Q water and the particles can be further separated by ball-milling to get well-dispersed Pr^3＋ ions doped CBT fine particles. The luminescence properties, such as photoluminescence （PL） and mechanoluminescence （ML）, of as-synthesized Pr： CBT particles were investigated. For Pr： CBT fine particles with different Ca molar ratios, all the samples show one emission at 612 nm, with increasing Ca molar ratio, PL intensity of Pr： CBT fine particles become stronger and stronger. When pressure was loaded on the Pr： CBT pellet, mechanoluminescence（ML） emission was measured. The results show that the ML intensity is proportional to the applied pressure.

文摘The assemble reactions of 5-(1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2(3 H)-yl)isophthalic acid(H2L)and Zn^2+/Cd^2+ions led to two compounds:[ZnL(DMSO)2]·3DMSO(1)and[Cd2 L2(DMSO)4]·DMF(2).1 and 2 feature 1 D coordination chains.Weakπ-πinteractions further connect the 1 D chains into 2D supramolecular networks.Upon grinding,1 and 2 show increase of quantum efficiencies(34.8 and 45.4 times of increase compared with original samples for the two compounds respectively)and red shift of the emission peaks(45 and 41 nm of shift compared with original samples for the two compounds,respectively).Both indicate the compounds are good mechanoluminescence responsive materials.

文摘Fluorescence imaging can be employed in fields of medical treatment,astronomical exploration,and national defense security.Traditional fluorescence imaging often takes the single-photon techniques,which is vulnerable to background interference and photobleaching.Remedially,two-photon fluorescence imaging can achieve much higher-resolution fluorescence imaging for reducing scattering and deeper depth.Hence,by assembling the tetraphenylethylene backbones with nontoxic and non-noble K^(+)ions,compound 1([(Hdma)K(H_(2)ettc)]_(n),H_(4)ettc=4',4''',4''''',4'''''''-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)tetrakis(([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid)))with the crystallization-induced emissions exhibited charming fluorescence imaging under two-photon excitation microscopy(TPEM).Besides,luminescent powders based on compound 1 can achieve high-resolution fingerprint recognition,providing secure access control and identification for a novel authentication method.Compared with the commercial fluorescent dyes coumarin-6,the as-synthesized compound 1 showed great solvent stability,indicating its durability against harsh environment.Moreover,compound 1 shows mechanoluminescent properties for the perturbation of weak supramolecular interactions within ordered arrangements of the H_(2)ettc^(2−)ligands.This novel compound has provided an important insight to the development of twophoton fluorescence imaging and advanced external-stimuli responsive materials.

文摘The emulation of human multisensory functions to construct artificial perception systems is an intriguing challenge for developing humanoid robotics and cross-modal human–machine interfaces.Inspired by human multisensory signal generation and neuroplasticity-based signal processing,here,an artificial perceptual neuro array with visual-tactile sensing,processing,learning,and memory is demonstrated.The neuromorphic bimodal perception array compactly combines an artificial photoelectric synapse network and an integrated mechanoluminescent layer,endowing individual and synergistic plastic modulation of optical and mechanical information,including short-term memory,long-term memory,paired pulse facilitation,and“learning-experience”behavior.Sequential or superimposed visual and tactile stimuli inputs can efficiently simulate the associative learning process of“Pavlov's dog”.The fusion of visual and tactile modulation enables enhanced memory of the stimulation image during the learning process.A machine-learning algorithm is coupled with an artificial neural network for pattern recognition,achieving a recognition accuracy of 70%for bimodal training,which is higher than that obtained by unimodal training.In addition,the artificial perceptual neuron has a low energy consumption of~20 pJ.With its mechanical compliance and simple architecture,the neuromorphic bimodal perception array has promising applications in largescale cross-modal interactions and high-throughput intelligent perceptions.

文摘Continuous mechanoluminescence(ML)fibers and fiber-woven textiles have the potential to serve as new wearable devices for sensors,healthcare,human-computer interfacing,and Internet of Things.Considering the demands on wearability and adaptability for the ML textiles,it is essential to realize the continuous synthesis of fiber,while maintaining a desired small diameter.Here,we develop a novel adhere-coating method to fabricate ML composite fiber,consisting of a thin polyurethane(PU)core and ZnS:Cu/polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)shell,with the outer diameter of 120μm.By diluting PDMS to tune the thickness of liquid coating layer,droplets formation has been effectively prevented.The composite fiber exhibits a smooth surface structure and superior ML performances,including high brightness,excellent flexibility,and stability.In addition,a weft knitting textile fabricated by the continuous ML fiber can be easily delighted by manually stretching,and the ML fibers can emit visible signals upon human motion stimuli when woven into commercial cloth.Such continuous ultra-fine ML fibers are promising as wearable sensing devices for human motion detection and human-machine interactions.
