Abstract
Stable and efficient high-power biohybrid light-emitting diodes (Bio-HLEDs) using fluorescent proteins (FPs) in photon downconverting filters have not been achieved yet, reaching best efficiencies of 130 lm W−1 stable for >5 h. This is related to the rise of the device temperature (70–80 °C) caused by FP-motion and quick heat-transmission in water-based filters, they lead to a strong thermal emission quenching followed by the quick chromophore deactivation via photoinduced H-transfer. To tackle both issues at once, this work shows an elegant concept of a new FP-based nanoparticle, in which the FP core is shielded by a SiO2-shell (FP@SiO2) with no loss of the photoluminescence figures-of-merit over years in foreign environments: dry powder at 25 °C (ambient) or constant 50 °C, as well as suspensions in organic solvents. This enables the preparation of water-free photon downconverting coatings with FP@SiO2, realizing on-chip high-power Bio-HLEDs with 100 lm W−1 stable for >120 h. Both thermal emission quenching and H-transfer deactivation are suppressed, since the device temperature holds <40 °C and remote high-power Bio-HLEDs exhibit final stabilities of 130 days compared to reference devices with water-based FP@SiO2 (83 days) and FP-polymer coatings (>100 h). Hence, FP@SiO2 is a new paradigm toward water-free zero-thermal-quenching biophosphors for first-class high-power Bio-HLEDs.Description
