Technical Field

Background
The functional material is a material having a specific function under the action of light, electricity, magnetism, heat, chemistry, biochemistry or the like. In the application of functional materials, inorganic solid functional materials have made great progress and are always in the leading position, and have been applied to a plurality of devices. The fluorescent material is a material capable of re-radiating photons or electromagnetic waves after absorbing the photons or electromagnetic waves. Specifically, when high-energy short-wavelength light is incident on a substance, electrons in the substance absorb energy and transit from a ground state to a high energy level, and the electrons are unstable at the high energy level, and transit from the high energy level to a low energy level, thereby releasing energy to emit fluorescence. With the development of science and technology, people have more and more researches on fluorescent materials, and the application range of the fluorescent materials is wider and wider. At present, besides being used as dye, the fluorescent material also has wide application in the fields of coating, organic pigment, optical brightening agent, photo-oxidant, chemical and biochemical analysis, anti-counterfeiting mark, medicine tracing and the like.
The chalcogen compound is a potential new-generation inorganic solid functional material due to rich structure and various performances, and is widely applied to the fields of infrared nonlinear optics, thermoelectric conversion, fluorescence, photocatalysis and the like. Studies have shown that d is included10Transition metal chalcogenides tend to have attractive fluorescent properties, for example the semiconductor compounds ZnS, CdS, ZnSe, CdSe may show strong and tunable fluorescent properties at certain particle sizes. Compound K2Cd3(1-x)Mn3xS4(x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1) shows stronger luminous performance at room temperature, and the introduction of trace Mn causes an interesting photo-induced red-shift phenomenon. More interestingly, d is contained10The emission wavelength of transition metal chalcogenides can change with temperature, i.e., there is a thermochromic behavior. For example, when the temperature is reduced from 285K to 9K, the compound CdGa2Se4From 582nm to 712 nm. In addition, compared with organic coordination polymers, inorganic solid fluorescent materials have relatively few types at present although they have more stable and stronger fluorescent effects. Therefore, searching or exploring the synthesis of novel efficient fluorescent materials is one of the research hotspots of the current inorganic solid functional materials.
