Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , “Colorless-to-black” electrochromic and AIE-active polyamides: An effective strategy for the highest-contrast electrofluorochromism(2020-11-24); ; ; ; Electrofluorochromic (EFC) materials have gained extensive attention owing to their interesting modulations of fluorescence by an electric stimulus. However, the limited performances, especially the low fluorescence on/off contrast, significantly hampered their further applications. Herein, we design a new strategy to achieve high-contrast electrofluorochromism by combinations of “colorless-to-black” electrochromism and highly fluorescent AIE activity. Given the effective fluorescence quenching effect and high solid-state fluorescence, a fluorescence contrast of 838 is realized, to the best of our knowledge, the highest reported so far. Furthermore, to explore the structure-property relationships, we also separated the E/Z isomers of tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and studied the properties of the three electroactive/fluorescent polymers (11TPE-PA, E-12TPE-PA, and Z-12TPE-PA) derived from different TPE derivatives and isomers. The three branches of polymers all exhibited AIE-active and “colorless-to-black” electrochromic (EC) properties. In addition to the ultrahigh fluorescence contrast, Z-12TPE-PA also integrated high electrochromic contrast (Δ% T = 92%), short response time (0.6 s/0.3 s), and excellent switching stability (300 cycles), paving the way for the applications in various electronic applications. The study will provide novel insights into the future design and development of high-performance EC/EFC materials.Publicationtype: Journal Article16 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Synergistic effect between electroactive tetraphenyl-: P -phenylenediamine and AIE-active tetraphenylethylene for highly integrated electrochromic/electrofluorochromic performances(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2019-07-08); ; ; ; Switchable fluorescent materials have gained great attention due to their promising applications in sensors, memory devices and displays. However, further progress is hindered by the low fluorescence contrast, modest response speed and inferior long-term cycling stability. Based on a rational design strategy by combining a highly conjugated tetraphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (TPPA) unit and an aggregation induced emission (AIE)-active tetraphenylethylene (TPE) unit, we synthesized a novel diamine "N,N′-bis(4-aminophenyl)-N,N′-di(4-(1,2,2-triphenylethenyl)phenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine" to construct an electro- and AIE-active polymer. In addition to the high efficiency solid-state fluorescence and the extremely stable redox properties, the resulting polymer TPE-TPPA-PA realized highly integrated emission/color dual-switchable properties, including multistage color-changing, high fluorescence on/off contrast up to 252, impressively rapid response rate (1.3/0.5 s for EC and 0.7/2.1 s for EFC processes) and excellent cycling stability over 10000 s. The demonstrated synergistic effect between stable electroactive TPPA and AIE-active TPE may provide a new pathway for further molecular design to realize high-performance emission/color dual-switchable materials.Publicationtype: Journal Article22 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , High-performance emission/color dual-switchable polymer-bearing pendant tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and triphenylamine (TPA) moietiesElectrofluorochromic (EFC) materials have aroused great interest owing to their interesting ability of tuning fluorescence in response to the applied potential. However, some crucial characteristics, such as response speed, fluorescence contrast, and switching stability, are still not well realized to meet the requirements of practical applications. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel polyamide-bearing aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and a highly conjugated triphenylamine (TPA) pendant group. The rational combination of the highly conjugated TPA and TPE caused the resultant polymer to exhibit highly integrated electrochromic (EC) and EFC performances including multiple color-changing (colorless to green to blue), fast response speed (1.8/1.1 s for EC and 0.4/2.9 s for EFC process), high fluorescence contrast (82 at the duration time of 20 s), and excellent long-term stability over 300 cycles. The strategy of AIE functionality by combing a highly conjugated redox unit demonstrates a synergistic effect to prepare high-performance emission/color dual-switchable materials, greatly promoting their applications in sensors, smart windows, and displays.Publicationtype: Journal Article20
