摘要
In this work, we investigate the opto-humidity sensing and colour tuning in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymeric electrospun nanofibres dispersed with Tb(Sal)3Phen (TSP) and Eu(DBM)3Phen (EDP) complexes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence analysis were used to thoroughly analyse the structural, morphological, and spectroscopic features of the synthesised nanofibres in single and stacked multilayer nanofibres. A spectroscopic analysis was performed on all configuration schemes. Under UV excitations, the synthesised TSP complex and EDP complex inhibited nanofibres yield green and red emission corresponding to 5D4→7Fj (j = 4, 5, 6) and 5D0→7Fj (j = 0, 1, 2, 3) transitions attributed to Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions, respectively. The EDP nanofibres presented better UV radiation absorption than TSP, which was attributed to higher absorptivity of DBM than Sal. Additionally, the photoluminescence intensity ratio of characteristic emission peaks i.e. 544 nm (5D4→7F5)/615 nm (5D0→7F2) is function of humidity exposure and excitation wavelength. The stacked multilayer nanofibres exhibit good response and recovery times, 35 and 52 s, negligible hysteresis, and cyclic stability. © 2024 The Author(s)
