Abstract
integration, while temperature-dependent photoluminescence studies reveal that Ni-induced shallow trap states enable vibrational coupling, facilitating charge carrier back-transfer to excitonic states. At 2% doping, this mechanism optimally enhances radiative recombination, achieving room-temperature vibrationally assisted delayed fluorescence (VADF). Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments further validate the improved radiative efficiency. This work establishes transition metal doping as a transformative and selective strategy for tuning optical properties, paving the way for advancements in energy-efficient technologies such as light-emitting diodes, lasers, and photovoltaics.
