Abstract

Abstract The circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of Eu(III) ion has been highly valued due to their high asymmetry factor and characteristic luminescence. However, the most reported CPL of Eu3+ ion is contributed from the magnetic dipole transitions but very less from the electric dipole transitions due to the influence of coordination fields. Until now, the amplification of the asymmetry factor (glum) of CPL is mainly due to magnetic dipole transition glum (glum−mag), while electric dipole transition glum (glum−ele) has almost no amplification. In this study, nanocellulose chiral films were synergistically induced with chiral β-diketones Eu-TFC (D/L) and hybrid photonic crystal films CNC@Eu-TFC (D/L) targeted methods for achieving electric dipole transition CPL and glum−ele of Eu3+ ions. The glum−ele was higher than glum−mag, achieving a reversal of glum−ele and glum−mag sizes. The glum of CNC@Eu-TFC (L) was relatively higher than that of CNC@Eu-TFC (D), the main reason for which was that the macroscopic chirality of the nanocellulose film, with a left-handed spiral structure, had a stronger synergistic induction effect with left-handed Eu-TFC (L). Therefore, utilizing the macroscopic chirality of CNC films could effectively amplify the difficulty to activate glum−ele of Eu3+ ions, providing a new approach for its preparation in high-performance CPL materials.
