- Abstract
Rare-earth element-free fluorescent materials are eco-friendlier than other traditional fluorescent precursors, such as quantum dots and phosphors. In this study, we explore a simple and facile solution-based technique to prepare fluorescent films, which are highly stable under ordinary room conditions and show hydrophobic behaviour. The proposed hybrid material was designed with hybrid composites that use polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as a host doped with organic dyes. The red and green fluorescent films exhibited quantum yields of 89% and 80%, respectively, and both are very uniform in thickness and water resistant. Additionally, PVB was further compared with another polymeric host, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), to evaluate their binding ability and encapsulation behaviour. Next, the effect of PVB on the optical and chemical properties of the fluorescent materials was studied using UV spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The analysis revealed that no new bond was formed between the host material and fluorescent precursor during the process, with intermolecular forces being present between different molecules. Moreover, the thickness of the fluorescent film and quantum yield relation were evaluated. Finally, the hydrophobic nature, strong binding ability, and optical enhancement by PVB provide a powerful tool for fabricating a highly efficient fluorescent film with enhanced stability in an external environment based on its promising encapsulation properties. These efficient fluorescent films have a bright potential in colour conversion for next-generation display applications.
