Abstract

Abstract: Herein, new types of zero‐dimensional (0D) perovskites (PA6InCl9 and PA4InCl7) with blue room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) were obtained from InCl3 and aniline hydrochloride. These are highly sensitive to external light and force stimuli. The RTP quantum yield of PA6InCl9 can be enhanced from 25.2 % to 42.8 % upon illumination. Under mechanical force, PA4InCl7 exhibits a phase transform to PA6InCl9, thus boosting ultralong RTP with a lifetime up to 1.2 s. Furthermore, white and orange pure RTP with a quantum yield close to 100 % can be realized when Sb 3+ was introduced into PA6InCl9. The white pure phosphorescence with a color‐rendering index (CRI) close to 90 consists of blue RTP of PA6InCl9 and orange RTP of Sb 3+ . Thus, this work not only overcomes long‐standing problems of low quantum yield and short lifetime of blue RTP, but also obtains high‐efficiency white RTP. It provides a feasible method to realize near‐unity quantum efficiency and has great application potential in the fields of optical devices and smart materials. Abstract : Two 0D lead‐free perovskites (PA6InCl9 and PA4InCl7) exhibit ultralong room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) sensitive to light and force, respectively. The activated PA6InCl9 shows highly efficient blue RTP with a Φ P of 43 % and a lifetime of 1.2 s. After the introduction of Sb 3+, pure white phosphorescence with near‐unity quantum yield and a color‐rendering index (CRI) of near 90 can be achieved through the combination of blue RTP of PA6InCl9 and orange RTP of Sb 3+ .
