Lanthanide ions are widely used as dopants for halide perovskites for their broad energy level coverage from the visible to near-infrared (NIR) range. In this work, CsNaScCl:Er was synthesized by an improved solid-state reaction method, which showed effective NIR emission under ultraviolet excitation. Through calculations based on density functional theory and Bader charge analysis, it is shown that [ErCl] octahedra show a strong localization effect in the CsNaScCl:Er lattice, which is conducive to the charge transfer process of Cl-Er, and charge transfer sensitization is responsible for the efficient visible to NIR luminescence of Er, where the NIR emission around λ = 1540 nm originated from the Er:I → I transition with an ultrahigh photoluminescence quantum yield that reached ∼28.3%. Notably, CsNaScCl:Er also exhibited bright upconversion luminescence of green light (at 540 nm) under excitation by a variety of NIR laser diodes (808, 980, and 1550 nm) via self-sensitization processes.
镧系离子因其从可见光到近红外(NIR)范围的广泛能级覆盖而被广泛用作卤化物钙钛矿的掺杂剂。在这项工作中,通过改进的固态反应方法合成了CsNaScCl:Er,其在紫外激发下显示出有效的近红外发射。通过基于密度泛函理论和巴德电荷分析的计算表明,[ErCl]八面体在CsNaScCl:Er晶格中表现出强烈的局域化效应,这有利于Cl-Er的电荷转移过程,并且电荷转移敏化是Er从可见光到近红外高效发光的原因,其中λ = 1540 nm附近的近红外发射源于Er: I→I跃迁,光致发光量子产率高达约28.3%。值得注意的是,CsNaScCl:Er在各种近红外激光二极管(808、980和1550 nm)激发下,通过自敏化过程还表现出明亮的绿色上转换发光(540 nm)。
