Abstract
This University of Central Florida invention is a sustainable method for
synthesizing manganese-based hybrid perovskite materials using water as the
primary solvent. These luminescent materials exhibit strong, tunable
fluorescence and high environmental stability. The process avoids hazardous
chemicals, making it safer and more scalable. The materials can be used in
powder form or integrated into flexible polymer composites, opening doors to
applications in optoelectronics, biomedical imaging, smart textiles, and
environmental sensing
Technical Details: The invention utilizes a water-based synthesis route to
combine organic and inorganic components—such as tetrapropylammonium bromide
and manganese bromide—into hybrid perovskite structures. These materials are
processed at room temperature without toxic solvents or heat treatment. The
resulting powders and polymer composites (e.g., PDMS-based) exhibit strong
photoluminescence, temperature-dependent color shifts, and compatibility with
various fabrication methods. The materials can be tuned for different emission
wavelengths and integrated into devices or coatings.
