In this work, two-dimensional (2D) MOFs were utilized as host matrices to simultaneously encapsulate red-green-blue fluorescent dyes for single-phase white light-emitting (SPWLE) materials. The flexible interlamellar space of 2D MOFs allows for easy introduction of different types and sizes of guest molecules, greatly expanding the range of available MOF hosts and guests and making the WLE more tunable. This strategy resolves the restriction of MOF pores on guest molecule size and opens a new avenue for the rational design and preparation of highly solution-processable SPWLE nanosheets.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively studied in host-guest chemistry by means of ultrahigh porosities, tunable channels, and component diversities. As the host matrix, MOFs exhibit immense potential in the preparation of single-phase white light-emitting (SPWLE) materials. Nonetheless, it is a great challenge that the size of the introduced guest molecules is limited by MOF pores, which affects the WLE optimization. In this work, two-dimensional (2D) MOFs are first utilized as the host matrices to simultaneously encapsulate red-green-blue fluorescent dyes for SPWLE. Various dyes@2D MOF composites with high-quality WLE performances and ultrathin nanosheet morphologies are directly assembled from 2D MOF precursors and dyes in high yields. Owing to the flexible interlamellar space of 2D MOFs, different types and sizes of guests can be easily introduced, which greatly expands the range of available MOF hosts and guests, making the WLE much more tunable. The strategy of employing 2D MOFs as the host matrices to introduce multicomponent dyes for SPWLE nanosheets resolves the restriction of MOF pores on the guest molecule size and opens a new avenue to rationally design and prepare SPWLE nanosheets that are highly solution-processable.
