Electrospinning Construction of Flexible Composite Nanoribbons with Color-Tunable Fluorescence

Аннотация

Herein, we describe the innovative one-dimensional nanomaterials, electrospun composite nanoribbons (width 10.119 ± 0.186 μm) containing complexes of Eu(TTA)₃(TPPO)₂ and Tb(BA)₃phen in a matrix of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the final products. The novel luminescent composite nanoribbons exhibit green, orange and red fluorescence emission peaks at 490, 545, 592, and 615 nm, which are ascribed to the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₆ (490 nm) and ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₅ (545 nm) energy transitions of Tb³⁺ ions, and the ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ (592 nm), ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ (615 nm) transitions of Eu³⁺ ions, respectively. It is observed that the doping percentage and the chosen excitation wavelength could be used to tune the emission color of the samples. The color-tunable luminescent composite nanoribbons have potential applications in the fields of display panels, lasers and bioimaging.
