Abstract
A scene that contains both old and instant events with a clear motion trail is visually intriguing and dynamic, which can convey a sense of change, transition, or evolution. Developing an eco-friendly delay display system offers a powerful tool for fusing old and instant events, which can be used for visualizing motion trails. Herein, we brighten triplet excitons of carbon nanodots (CNDs) and increase their emission yield by a multidimensional confinement strategy, and the CND-based delay display array is demonstrated. The intense confinement effects via multidimensional confinement strategy suppress nonradiative transitions, and 240% enhancement in the phosphorescence efficiency and 260% enhancement in the lifetime of the CNDs are thus realized. Considering their distinctive phosphorescence performances, a delay display array containing a 4 × 4 CND-based delay lighting device is demonstrated, which can provide ultralong phosphorescence over 7 s, and the motion that occurred in different timelines is recorded clearly. This finding will motivate the investigation of phosphorescent CNDs in motion trail recognition.

Abstract
Development of highly efficient, heavy-metal-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) materials is attractive but still challenging. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced delayed ECL (AIDECL) active organic dot (OD) composed of a tert-butoxy-group-substituted benzophenone-dimethylacridine compound, which shows high ECL efficiency. The resultant ODs exhibit 2.1-fold higher ECL efficiency compared to control AIDECL-active ODs. Molecular stacking combined with theoretical calculations suggests that tert-butoxy groups effectively participate in the intermolecular interactions, further inhibiting the molecular motions in the aggregated states and thus accelerating radiative decay. On the basis of these ODs exhibiting excellent ECL performance, a proof-of-concept biosensor is constructed for the detection of miR-16 associated with Alzheimer's disease, which demonstrates excellent detection ability with the limit of detection of 1.7 fM. This work provides a new approach to improve the ECL efficiency and enriches the fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship.

Abstract
The expanding applications of X-ray scintillation across various areas, from healthcare to security detection call for the development of new-generation scintillators that offer enhanced sensitivity, efficiency, and versatility. Here, we report for the first time the use of organic metal halide complexes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) for X-ray scintillation, which can be facilely synthesized and processed in the solution phase. By reacting an AIE organic molecule, 4-(4-(diphenylamino) phenyl)-1-(propyl)-pyridinium (TPA-PD) with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) in solution at room temperature, an organic metal halide complex, (TPA-PD)2ZnCl2, is produced with a high synthetic yield of 87%. Optical and radioluminescence characterizations find that (TPA-PD)2ZnCl2 exhibits bluish-green photoluminescence and radioluminescence peaked at around 450 nm, with a photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) of 65%, and an absolute light yield of 13 423 Photon per MeV. Moreover, short photoluminescence and radioluminescence decay lifetimes are recorded at 1.81 ns and 5.24 ns, respectively. For X-ray scintillation, an excellent response dose-response linearity and a low limit of detection of 80.23 nGyair S-1 are obtained for (TPA-PD)2ZnCl2. By taking advantage of the high X-ray absorption of metal halides and fast radioluminescence of AIE molecules, our design of covalently bonded organic metal halide complexes opens up new opportunities for the development of high-performance solution-processable scintillators.

Abstract
Intrinsic polymer room-temperature phosphorescence (IPRTP) materials have attracted considerable attention for application in flexible electronics, information encryption, lighting displays, and other fields due to their excellent processabilities and luminescence properties. However, achieving multicolor long-lived luminescence, particularly white afterglow, in undoped polymers is challenging. Herein, we propose a strategy of covalently coupling different conjugated chromophores with poly(acrylic acid (AA)-AA-N-succinimide ester) (PAA-NHS) by a simple and rapid one-pot reaction to obtain pure polymers with long-lived RTPs of various colors. Among these polymers, the highest phosphorescence quantum yield of PAPHE reaches 14.7%. Furthermore, the afterglow colors of polymers can be modulated from blue to red by introducing three chromophores into them. Importantly, the acquired polymer TPAP-514 exhibits a white afterglow at room temperature with the chromaticity coordinates (0.33, 0.33) when the ratio of chromophores reaches a suitable value owing to the three-primary-color mechanism. Systematic studies prove that the emission comes from the superposition of different triplet excited states of the three components. Moreover, the potential applications of the obtained polymers in light-emitting diodes and dynamic anti-counterfeiting are explored. The proposed strategy provides a new idea for constructing intrinsic polymers with diverse white-light emission RTPs.

Abstract
Anticounterfeiting plays an essential role in authenticating genuine documents and combating forged products. To further advance the anticounterfeiting technology, there is a strong demand to design new functional materials with unique properties that will be appropriate for making multimode complex security labels. Recently, dynamic security labels have emerged as a new type of advanced anticounterfeiting method as they can hold a much higher security level than the traditional static ones. In this work, we report that calcium zinc germanate (CZGO) clinopyroxenes doped with lead ions have several interesting optical properties, such as dynamic fluorescence, long persistent luminescence, and photochromism. We find that the concentration of lead dopants can significantly impact the reaction kinetics as well as the crystallinity and luminescence properties of CZGO phosphors. By fully utilizing these unique properties, we have successfully fabricated several security labels with multilevel information encoding and dynamic optical performance. The combination of multimode and dynamic luminescence makes these labels extremely challenging to illegally duplicate. With further optimization, this lead-doped CZGO clinopyroxene can be well-integrated into modern anticounterfeiting techniques that will generate highly secure anticounterfeiting labels to combat fake products.

Abstract
Molecular emitters with multi-emissive properties are in high demand in numerous fields, while these properties basically depend on specific molecular conformation and packing. For amorphous systems, special molecular arrangement is unnecessary, but it remains challenging to achieve such luminescent behaviors. Herein, we present a general strategy that takes advantage of molecular rigidity and S1 -T1 energy gap balance for emitter design, which enables fluorescence-phosphorescence dual-emission properties in various solid forms, whether crystalline or amorphous. Subsequently, the amorphism of the emitters based polymethyl methacrylate films endowed an in situ regulation of the dual-emissive characteristics. With the ratiometric regulation of phosphorescence by external stimuli and stable fluorescence as internal reference, highly controllable luminescent color tuning (yellow to blue including white emission) was achieved. There properties together with a persistent luminous behavior is of benefit for an irreplaceable set of optical information combination, featuring an ultrahigh-security anti-counterfeiting ability. Our research introduces a concept of eliminating the crystal-form and molecular-conformational dependence of complex luminescent properties through emitter molecular design. This has profound implications for the development of functional materials.

Abstract
Organic afterglow materials have significant applications in information security and flexible electronic devices with unique optical properties. It is vital but challenging to develop organic afterglow materials possessing controlled output with multi-stimuli-responsive capacity. Herein, dimethyl terephthalate (DTT) is introduced as a strong proton acceptor. The migration direction of N─H protons on two compounds Hs can be regulated by altering the excitation wavelength (Ex) or amine stimulation, thereby achieving dual-stimuli-responsive afterglow emission. When the Ex is below 300 nm, protons migrate to S1-2 DTT , where strong interactions induce phosphorescent emission of Hs, resulting in afterglow behavior. Conversely, when the Ex is above 300 nm, protons interact with the S0 DTT weakly and the afterglow disappears. In view of amine-based compounds with higher proton accepting capabilities, it can snatch proton from S1-2 DTT and redirect the proton flow toward amine, effectively suppressing the afterglow but obtaining a new redshifted fluorescence emission with Δλ over 200 nm due to the high polarity of amine. Moreover, it is successfully demonstrated that the applications of dual-stimuli-responsive organic afterglow materials in information encryption based on the systematic excitation-wavelength-dependent (Ex-De) behavior and amine selectivity detection.

Abstract
The continuous advancement of luminescent materials has placed increasingly stringent requirements on dynamic color-tunable ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (URTP) materials that can respond to external stimuli. Nevertheless, endowing URTP materials with stimuli-response-induced dynamic color tuning is a challenging task. This study introduces a carbon dots (CDs)@LiCl-polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer system that switches from URTP to fluorescence under humidity stimuli, accompanied by a transition from rigidity to flexibility. The obtained rigid CDs@LiCl-PAM exhibits ultralong green phosphorescence with a lifetime of 560 ms in the initial state. After absorbing moisture, it becomes flexible and its phosphorescence switches off. Moreover, the emission of the CDs@LiCl-PAM film depends on the excitation wavelength. This property can potentially used in multicolored luminescence applications and displays. Moreover, multicolor luminescent patterns can be constructed in situ using the water-absorption ability of the obtained thin film and the Förster resonance energy-transfer strategy. The proposed strategy is expected to promote the interdisciplinary development of intelligent information encryption, anti-counterfeiting, and smart flexible display materials.

Abstract
Understanding and management of triplet excitons transition in the same molecule remain a great challenge. Hence, for the first time, by host engineering, manageable transitions of triplet excitons in a naphthalimide derivative NDOH were achieved, and monitored through the intensity ratio (ITADF/IRTP) between thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Energy differences between lowest triplet excited states of host and guest were changed from 0.03 to 0.17 eV, and ITADF/IRTP of NDOH decreased by 200 times, thus red shifting the afterglow color. It was proposed that shorter conjugation length led to larger band gaps of host materials, thus contributing to efficient Dexter and inefficient Förster energy transfer. Interestingly, no transition to singlet state and only strongest RTP with quantum yield of 13.9% could be observed, when PBNC with loosest stacking and largest band gap acted as host. This work provides novel insight for the management and prediction of triplet exciton transitions and the development of smart afterglow materials.

Abstract
Information storage and security is one of the perennial hot issues in society, while the further advancements of related chemical anti-counterfeiting systems remain a formidable challenge. As emerging anti-counterfeiting materials, stimulus-responsive polymers (SRPs) have attracted extensive attention due to their unique stimulus-responsiveness and charming discoloration performance. At the same time, single-channel decryption technology with low-security levels has been unable to effectively prevent information from being stolen or mimicked. As a result, it would be of great significance to develop SRPs with multi-mode and multi-level anti-counterfeiting characteristics. This study summarizes the latest achievements in advance anti-counterfeiting strategies based on SRPs, including multi-mode anti-counterfeiting (static information) and multi-level anti-counterfeiting (dynamic information). In addition, the promising applications of such materials in anti-counterfeiting labels, identification platforms, intelligent displays, and others are briefly reviewed. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this emerging field are discussed. This review serves as a useful resource for manipulating SRP-based anti-counterfeiting materials and creating cutting-edge information security and encryption systems.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202313890. [PMID: 38059792 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have great potential for in vivo imaging because they can circumvent the autofluorescence of biological tissues. In this study, a class of organic-doped long-wavelength (≈600 nm) RTP materials with benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole as a guest was constructed. Both host and guest molecules have simple structures and can be directly purchased commercially at a low cost. Owing to the long phosphorescence wavelength of the doping system, it exhibited good tissue penetration (10 mm). Notably, these RTP nanoparticles were successfully used to image atherosclerotic plaques, with a signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of 44.52. This study provides a new approach for constructing inexpensive red organic phosphorescent materials and a new method for imaging cardiovascular diseases using these materials.

Abstract
A rational molecular design strategy facilitates the development of a purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) material system with precisely regulated luminescence properties, which surely promotes its functional integration and intelligent application. Here, a functional unit combination strategy is proposed to design novel RTP molecules combining a folding unit with diverse luminescent cores. The different luminescent cores are mainly responsible for tunable RTP properties, while the folding unit contributes to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) enhancement, which makes the RTP material design as workable as the building block principle. By this strategy, a series of color/lifetime-tunable RTP materials is achieved with unique photo-responsive RTP enhancement when subjected to UV irradiation, which expands their application scenarios in reusable privacy tags, advanced "4D" encryption, and phase separation analysis of blended polymers. This work suggests a simple and effective strategy to design purely organic RTP materials with tunable color and lifetime, and also provides new application options for photo-responsive dynamic RTP materials.

Abstract
The development of flexible, room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials remains challenging owing to the quenching of their unstable triplet excitons via molecular motion. Therefore, a polymer matrix with Tg higher than room temperature is required to prevent polymer segment movement. In this study, a RTP material was developed by incorporating a 4-biphenylboronic acid (BPBA) phosphor into a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix (Tg =-27.1 °C), which exhibits a remarkable UV-light-dependent oxygen consumption phosphorescence with a lifetime of 1275.7 ms. The adjustable RTP performance is influenced by the crystallinity and polymorph (α, β, and γ phases) fraction of PVDF, therefore, the low Tg of the PVDF matrix enables the polymeric segmental motion upon microwave irradiation. Consequently, a reduction in the crystallinity and an increase in the α phase fraction in PVDF film induces RTP after 2.45 GHz microwave irradiation. These findings open up new avenues for constructing crystalline and phase-dependent RTP materials while demonstrating a promising approach toward microwave detection.

Abstract
The label with a large Stokes shift and strong fluorescence properties could improve the sensitivity of the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). Herein, two aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens with spectral overlap were encapsulated in polymers by using the microemulsion method as a label, and the construction of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer mode was further verified via theoretical calculation and spectral analysis. Satisfactorily, the doped AIE polymer microspheres (DAIEPMs) exhibited a large Stokes shift of 285 nm and a 10.8-fold fluorescence enhancement compared to those of the AIEPMs loaded with acceptors. Benefiting from the excellent optical performance, DAIEPMs were applied to the LFIA for sensitive detection of chlorothalonil, which is an organochlorine pesticide. The limit of detection of the proposed DAIEPMs-LFIA was 1.2 pg/mL, which was 4.8-fold and 11.6-fold lower than those of quantum dot bead LFIA and gold nanoparticle LFIA, respectively. This work provides a new strategy to improve the optical properties of fluorescent materials and construct a sensitive and reliable detection platform.

Abstract
Phosphorescence energy transfer systems have been applied in encryption, biomedical imaging and chemical sensing. These systems exhibit ultra-large Stokes shifts, high quantum yields and are colour-tuneable with long-wavelength afterglow fluorescence (particularly in the near-infrared) under ambient conditions. This review discusses triplet-to-singlet PRET or triplet-to-singlet-to-singlet cascaded PRET systems based on macrocyclic or assembly-confined purely organic phosphorescence introducing the critical toles of supramolecular noncovalent interactions in the process. These interactions promote intersystem crossing, restricting the motion of phosphors, minimizing non-radiative decay and organizing donor-acceptor pairs in close proximity. We discuss the applications of these systems and focus on the challenges ahead in facilitating their further development.

Abstract
We successfully tune ultralong organic room-temperature phosphorescence (UORTP) by a simple strategy of precisely modifying nitrogen atoms on Phosphorescence Units, and colorful ultralong phosphorescence can be achieved. We for the first time investigate the structure-function relationship between phosphorescence properties and molecular structures of Phosphorescence Units. With BCz and BCz-1 as comparison, eight new Phosphorescence Units were synthesized by introducing one or two nitrogen atoms to the naphthalene moiety. For all the 10 Phosphorescence Units, their room-temperature ultralong phosphorescence in the PMMA film should be assigned to monomer phosphorescence from intrinsic T1 decay. For Phosphorescence Units series I (BCz, NBCz-1, NBCz-2, NBCz-3, NBCz-4, NBCz-5, and NBCz-6), introducing one nitrogen atom to the naphthalene moiety can significantly affect the phosphorescence properties of Phosphorescence Units, and the effect is quite complicated. For modification on the inner ring, the T1 energy level of NBCz-1 decreases, and the red shift of UORTP occurs while the T1 energy level of NBCz-2 increases and the blue shift of UORTP happens. For modification on the outer ring, no phosphorescence color change is observed for NBCz-3 and NBCz-4, but their phosphorescence lifetimes vary notably due to different intersystem crossing efficiencies; as the modification site approaches the central five-member ring, the T1 energy levels of NBCz-5 and NBCz-6 decrease, and their UORTP red shifts dramatically. For Phosphorescence Units series II (BCz, 2NBCz, BCz-1, and 2NBCz-1), introducing two nitrogen atoms to the outer six-member ring reduces energy level of T1 excitons and leads to incredible red shift of UORTP for BCz and 2NBCz while surprisingly energy levels of T1 excitons rise and UORTP blue shifts for BCz-1 and 2NBCz-1. Under the condition of proper modification sites, it is true that the more the additional nitrogen atoms, the more red-shifted the ultralong phosphorescence. This study may expand our knowledge of organic phosphorescence and lay the foundation for its future applications.

Abstract
Most hydrogel dressings are designed for skin wounds in flat areas, and few are focused on the joint skin regions which undergo frequent movement. The mismatch of mechanical properties and poor fit between a hydrogel dressing and a wound in joint skin results in hydrogel shedding, bacterial infection and delayed healing. Therefore, it is of great significance to design and prepare a multifunctional hydrogel with high tensile and tissue-adhesive strength as well as other therapeutic effects for the treatment of joint skin wounds. In this work, a multifunctional hydrogel was reasonably prepared by simply mixing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), borax, tannic acid (TA) and iron(III) chloride in certain proportions, which was further used to treat the skin wounds at the joint of the hind limb. Acting as the physical crosslinkers, borax and TA dynamically bond with PVA and provide the resulting hydrogel with strong tensile, fast shape-adaptive and self-healing properties. The photothermal bacteriostatic activity of the hydrogel is attributed to the formation of a metallic polyphenol network (MPN) between ferric ions and TA. In addition, the hydrogel exhibits high levels of adhesion, hemostatic performance, antioxidant abilities, and biocompatibility, and shows great potential to promote joint skin wound healing.

Abstract
Ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Herein, a new type of flexible films is fabricated by doping amphipathic pyrene tetrasulfonic acid sodium salts into amorphous poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix, which enables the realization of color-tunable UOP spanning from orange-red to green after excitation light is switched off. Interestingly, precise control of the proportion of isolated-molecular and aggregated-state phosphorescence is demonstrated for colorful afterglow using photo-activation. An increase in the dynamic phosphorescence lifetime of isolated molecules is observed from 894.75 to 1735.71 ms following an 8 min irradiation under ambient conditions. The photo-activation, however, showed little influence on aggreated-state phosphorescence. This flexible and processable film exhibits versatile applications in multicolor afterglow displays, ultraviolet detection, multilevel information encryption, etc. This study not only provides a strategy for the rational regulation of UOP colors but also expands the application potential of color-tunable UOP materials.

Abstract
Achieving color-tunable emission in single-component organic emitters with multistage stimuli-responsiveness is of vital significance for intelligent optoelectronic applications, but remains enormously challenging. Herein, we present an unprecedented example of a color-tunable single-component smart organic emitter (DDOP) that simultaneously exhibits multistage stimuli-responsiveness and multimode emissions. DDOP based on a highly twisted amide-bridged donor-acceptor-donor structure has been found to facilitate intersystem crossing, form multimode emissions, and generate multiple emissive species with multistage stimuli-responsiveness. DDOP pristine crystalline powders exhibit abnormal excitation-dependent emissions from a monomer-dominated blue emission centered at 470 nm to a dimer-dominated yellow emission centered at 550 nm through decreasing the ultraviolet (UV) excitation wavelengths, whereas DDOP single crystals show a wide emission band with a main emission peak at 585 nm when excited at different wavelengths. The emission behaviors of pristine crystalline powders and single crystals are different, demonstrating emission features that are closely related to the aggregation states. The work has developed color-tunable single-component organic emitters with simultaneous multistage stimuli-responsiveness and multimode emissions, which is vital for expanding intelligent optoelectronic applications, including multilevel information encryption, multicolor emissive patterns, and visual monitoring of UV wavelengths.

Abstract
A phosphorescence enhancement of pyridinium macrocycle/monomer phosphors is realized with up to 14.7-fold prolonging of the phosphorescence lifetimes and visible afterglow by doping into a poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) matrix. The abundant hydrogen-bonding interactions and electrostatic interactions between the phosphors and the PVA suppressed the nonradiative decay processes, slowed down the radiative decay and nonradiative decay of triplet states, and therefore promoted the long-lived RTP.

Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) has been found as a wonderful matrix for chromophores to boost their room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) character by forming abundant hydrogen bonding. Despite the well-utilized protective effect, the constructive role in accelerating the intersystem crossing is less investigated. Here, we focus on its role in manipulating the excited-state energy level to facilitate multiple intersystem crossing channels. Six benzoyl carbazole derivatives do not emit RTP in their solutions, powders, or crystals but exhibit significantly persistent RTP signals when embedded into the PVA matrix. Charge-transfer excited states were trapped by cofacial stacking in crystal, which blocks the intersystem crossing channels. In the PVA matrix, the allowed broad distribution of charge-transfer states covers the locally excited states, offering multiple intersystem crossing pathways via spin-vibronic orbit coupling. Consequently, efficient and persistent heavy-atom-free phosphors have been developed with the highest quantum yields of 7.7% and the longest lifetime of 2.3 s.
