Article Abstract
Ultralong organic afterglow materials are being actively explored as attractive candidates for a wide range of applications such as data storage, security inks, emergency lighting, etc., due to their unique long-lived excited state properties and inherent advantages of low cost, appreciable functionality and ease of preparation. In the last three years, much effort has been devoted to achieving efficient ultralong afterglow from organic small molecules, which possess controllable intermolecular interactions and defined energy levels, making them a good platform to suppress the non-radiative decays, hence stabilizing the excitons for efficient afterglow emissions at room temperature. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of reviews on how efficient ultralong organic afterglow can be systematically achieved from small molecular host-guest materials, which is not conducive to the development of the field. In this review, we have outlined and summarized small-molecule ultralong organic afterglow materials based on different emission mechanisms. We have included emission mechanisms involving ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (URTP), ultralong thermally activated delayed fluorescence (UTADF) and organic long persistent luminescence (OLPL), where the latter two mechanisms have rarely been reported. In addition, challenges and future perspectives are discussed to emphasize the future directions.

MXenes serve as pivotal candidates for pseudocapacitive energy storage owing to sound proton/electron-transport capability and tunable topology. However, the metastable surface terminal properties and the progressive oxidation leads to drastic capacity fading, posing significant challenges for sustainable energy applications. Here, with the aramid nanofiber as the interface mediator, we engineer the thermal reconstruction of MXenes to synergistically introduce interfacial covalent and noncovalent interactions, resulting in a high specific capacitance of 531.

BN-fused aromatic compounds have garnered significant attention due to their unique electronic structures and exceptional photophysical properties, positioning them as highly promising candidates for applications in organic optoelectronics. However, the regioselective synthesis of BN isomers remains a formidable challenge, primarily stemming from the difficulty in precisely controlling reaction sites, limiting structural diversity and property tunability. Herein, we propose a regioselective synthetic strategy that employs 2,1-BN-naphthalene derivatives, wherein selective activation of N-H and C-H bonds is achieved in conjunction with -halogenated phenylboronic acids.

Designing long-lived excitons in photocatalysts is crucial for efficient charge separation. However, most of the current organic photocatalysts are characterized by a relatively short exciton lifetime within the range of picoseconds due to localized excitons with large binding energies. Herein, we report the design of ultralong-lived excitons with a lifetime exceeding 8000 ps by constructing metallo-quinoline-incorporated covalent organic frameworks (COFs).

Gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is a desirable candidate for high-safety lithium batteries but is still plagued by the dynamic fluctuations of liquid electrolyte components, which induce localized fluid aggregation or leakage, ultimately leading to performance instability or even degradation. Here, we develop a novel poly(benzoxazine-propylene-oxide)-based GPE, achieving superior electrochemical performance and high safety simultaneously. Through molecular architecture design, the strategic incorporation of long-chain propylene-oxide segments and amide functionalities into the benzoxazine backbone endows the polymer matrix with enhanced lithium-ion transport capability.
