Title: A color-tunable luminescent material with functionalized graphitic carbon nitride as multifunctional supports

Abstract

A color-tunable luminescent material was prepared based on the composition of functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4}) and europium (III). The functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4} layers not only behave as multifunctional supports including ligand coordinated with europium (III) and a support structure for the formation of the luminescent material, but exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent luminescence, thus the energy transfer between the functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4} and europium (III) can match very well by controlling the emission wavelength of functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4}. The as-prepared materials was comprehensively characterized via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray scattering techniques, Ultraviolet and Visible spectrophotometer, fluorescence spectrophotometer, thermogravimetric analysis, etc. The luminescent material exhibits multi-color emissions which are consistent with the characteristic emissions of europium (III) and functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4}, and the photoluminescence quality and density of the europium (III) can be greatly enhanced. The brilliant optical properties of the materials make them suiting for multipurpose applications in practical fields. - Graphical abstract: Schematic illustration of the synthesis and basic composition of the luminescent material. Inset figures were luminescence emission spectra of g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4} (A), europium (III) complex (a) and luminescent material (b) with the same concentration in (B) (K{submore » ex}=350 nm) and photographs of (left) H{sub 2}O and (right) the H{sub 2}O dispersion of luminescence emission spectra under 350 nm UV radiation. The energy transfer in the luminescent material matchs very well and it exhibits multi-color emissions simultaneously. The enhanced photoluminescence quality and density of the europium (III) makes them suiting for multipurpose applications in practical fields. - Highlights: • Luminescent material exhibits multi-color emissions when excited by single wavelength. • The energy trsnsfer between functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4} and europium matches very vell. • Functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4} exhibits excitation wavelength-depengdent bright blue luminescence. • Functionalized g-C{sub 3}N{sub 4} layer provided as multifunctional supports.« less
