Unravelling the structure of broadband white-emitting silver nanoclusters stabilized in sulfur-doped zeolites

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: NCs coordinated by oxygen ligands, each having specific emission features. The precise tone of the white-light emission can be further tuned by adjusting their relative fractions. The remarkable emission stability of these materials originates from the closed structure of the SOD zeolites and the formation of a network of Ag-NCs and co-cations stabilized by oxygen ligands, whose coordination environment is modulated by transient silver-sulfur interactions occurring during synthesis. Ultimately, Ag/S-SOD zeolites are not only efficient single-phase and emission-tunable phosphors but also robust platforms for studying the structure-property relationships of confined metal NCs.
