All‐Organic, Temporally Pure White Afterglow in Amorphous Films Using Complementary Blue and Greenish‐Yellow Ultralong Room Temperature Phosphors

Abstract Organic molecules exhibiting afterglow emission (lifetime longer than 0.1 s) under ambient conditions have sparked tremendous attention in recent years as a sustainable energy source with potential applications in displays, lighting, and bioimaging. However, white afterglow organic materials with color purity during the entire period of delayed emission, after the cessation of excitation source, are yet to be achieved due to the different excited state lifetimes of its primary or complementary components. Herein, a remarkable, ambient “temporally pure white afterglow,” which lasts for over 7 s, by coorganizing complementary blue and greenish‐yellow organic room temperature phosphors with similar ultralong lifetimes and efficiency, in an amorphous polymer film is demonstrated. One of the most efficient blue afterglow room temperature phosphors is also reported, with an ultralong lifetime up to 2.26 s and maximum quantum efficiency of 36.8%, from purely organic triazatruxenes en route to the realization of this white afterglow. Further, broad and complementary absorption features of the coorganized phosphors in the visible region facilitates an excitation‐dependent dynamic color‐tuning of the afterglow from sky‐blue to greenish‐yellow.
