There are several factors that affect the luminescence efficiency of luminescent materials. These factors can be broadly categorized into intrinsic and extrinsic factors.Intrinsic factors include:1. Quantum yield: The ratio of the number of emitted photons to the number of absorbed photons. A higher quantum yield indicates a more efficient luminescent material.2. Radiative and non-radiative decay rates: Radiative decay refers to the process of emitting light, while non-radiative decay refers to the loss of energy through other processes, such as heat. A higher radiative decay rate and a lower non-radiative decay rate contribute to higher luminescence efficiency.3. Absorption and emission spectra: The overlap between the absorption and emission spectra can lead to self-absorption, which reduces luminescence efficiency. A smaller overlap is desirable for higher efficiency.Extrinsic factors include:1. Concentration: At higher concentrations, luminescent materials may experience concentration quenching, which reduces luminescence efficiency.2. Temperature: Higher temperatures can increase the non-radiative decay rate, leading to reduced luminescence efficiency.3. Surrounding environment: The presence of impurities, defects, or other quenchers can reduce luminescence efficiency.To improve the luminescence efficiency of luminescent materials using photochemical methods, the following strategies can be employed:1. Doping: Introducing a small amount of another element or compound into the luminescent material can help to reduce defects and impurities, thereby improving luminescence efficiency.2. Surface modification: Altering the surface of the luminescent material can help to reduce non-radiative decay pathways and improve efficiency.3. Energy transfer: Introducing an energy transfer mechanism, such as Förster resonance energy transfer FRET , can help to improve the luminescence efficiency by transferring energy from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule, which then emits light.4. Optimizing synthesis conditions: Adjusting the synthesis conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and precursor concentration, can help to minimize defects and impurities in the luminescent material, leading to improved efficiency.5. Designing materials with smaller spectral overlap: Developing luminescent materials with smaller overlaps between their absorption and emission spectra can help to reduce self-absorption and improve efficiency.
