| contents | Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glasses represent a newly emerged class of melt-quenched glasses, characterized by their intrinsic nanoporous structure, good processability, and multifunctionalities such as gas separation and energy storage. However, creating photonic functionalities in Zn-based ZIF glasses remains elusive. Here we show a remarkable broadband white light-emitting behavior in a Zn-based ZIF glass, which can be enhanced by annealing. Furthermore, we discovered a sharp red shift upon increasing annealing temperature above the critical temperature of 1.07Tg, where Tg is the glass transition temperature, for a short duration of 30 min. Finally, we achieved a high absolute internal photoluminescence quantum yield of 12.2% upon annealing of ZIF glass at 1.13Tg. Based on the optimally annealed ZIF glass, we fabricated a white light-emitting diode (LED) with the luminous efficacy of 4.2 lm/W and high operational stability, retaining 74.1% of its initial luminous efficacy after 180 min of continuous operation. These results not only demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing ZIF glasses in LED applications but also mark a significant advancement in the development of durable, efficient, and multifunctional photonic materials. |
