Photo-responsive switches are very promising materials due to their potential applications in many fields. However, photo-controlled color/fluorescence dual-switching with higher modulation efficiency has rarely been reported. Herein, two new optical responsive switches were constructed by Eu-doped ZnO@Silane quantum dots (Eu:ZnO@Silane QDs) and two diarylethenes. The two switches exhibited strong fluorescence intensity and excellent photochromic properties due to the doping of Eu and the diarylethene modification on the surface of the QDs. The switches showed outstanding photo-controlled color/fluorescence dual-switching performance with UV/Vis lights irradiation. Although the structure of the two diarylethenes affected the fatigue resistance of the two switches, their fluorescence modulation efficiency (FME) could reach 100%. Furthermore, the two switches were successfully applied to bioimaging, and provide an alternative way for the design and construction of novel efficient color/fluorescence dual-switching.

Electrochromic (EC)/electrofluorochromic (EFC) bifunctional materials are receiving great attention because of their promising applications in optoelectronic devices. However, the development of ideal EC/EFC bifunctional materials is still a great challenge because of the poor integration of EC/EFC performances (optical contrast, response speed, and switching stability). Herein, we reported two novel diphenylamine-based mixed valence (MV) polyamides (S-HPA and P-HPA) with spirobifluorene (2,7-positions) and pyrene (1,6-positions) as bridged fluorescence units, respectively, showing impressive cyclability and fluorescence contrast with rapid switching.
