Title: Luminescent MOFs (LMOFs): recent advancement towards a greener WLED technology

Abstract

The replacement of traditional incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps by white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) is expected to reduce the global electricity consumption by one-third by 2030, according to the US Department of Energy. The current WLED technology uses rare-earth element (REE) based phosphor materials, which, not only is cost-intensive but also constitutes an environmental concern. Hence, researchers are in a quest for a new-generation of opto-electronic materials that can replace the conventional phosphors in WLEDs and thus aim towards a cleaner and more energy efficient lighting technology for the future. Luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs) have recently emerged as a new sub-class of MOFs which have demonstrated enormous potential for applications in sensing, imaging, optoelectronics and in solid-state lighting (SSL) technology. LMOFs could be game changers as lighting phosphors due to advantages such as high luminescence quantum yield, tunable excitation and emission which can be achieved by rational design and optimization of metal centers, linkers, and the guest molecules, facile fabrication into devices, and structural robustness. These clear advantageous features of LMOFs make them score over other contemporary materials, and enable them to be futuristic phosphor materials for WLED technology. Here, in this feature article, we will provide an overviewmore » of the most recent developments of LMOF-based phosphor materials for SSL with a special focus on WLED technology. The emphasis will be centered around REE-free LMOFs, as the aim is to direct the attention of the readers towards a more viable and greener lighting technology.« less
