Recent Process of Photo-responsive Materials with Aggregation-induced Emission

Abstract

The research of photo-responsive materials, with changed absorption and emission under light stimulus, has drawn more and more attention due to their wide applications. However, most of them suffered from the notorious aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ) effect, which often led to the unconspicuous luminescent change in photo-responsive process. To solve this problem, the strategy of combining aggregation-induced emission(AIE) and photochromic properties was utilized, which largely enriched the phenomenon and application of photo-responsive materials. This short review summarized the recent progress of photo-responsive AIE materials with changed UV absorbance or PL phenomenon under UV-irradiation, including the types of molecular structures, internal mechanisms and the practical applications. Also, some outlooks were given on the further exploration of this field at the end of this paper.
