Abstract

How to achieve multicolor organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is still challenging and striking. Herein, we discovered a new principle to construct eco-friendly color-tunable RTP nanomaterials based on the nano-surface confining effect. Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) immobilized cellulose derivatives (CX) containing aromatic substituents via hydrogen-bonding interactions, which effectively inhibit the motion of cellulose chains and luminescent groups to suppress the nonradiative transitions. Meanwhile, CNC with a strong hydrogen-bonding network can isolate oxygen. CX with different aromatic substituents regulate the phosphorescent emission. After mixing CNC and CX directly, a series of polychromatic ultralong RTP nanomaterials were obtained. The RTP emission of the resultant CX@CNC can be finely adjusted through the introduction of various CX and the regulation of the CX/CNC ratio. Such a universal, facile, and effective strategy can be used to fabricate various colorful RTP materials with wide color gamut. Because of the complete biodegradability of cellulose, the multicolor phosphorescent CX@CNC nanomaterials can be used as eco-friendly security inks to fabricate disposable anticounterfeiting labels and information-storage patterns via conventional printing and writing processes.
