Abstract Responsive photonic crystals have attracted significant attention in fundamental scientific research and technological applications. Upon applying external stimuli, such as mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical triggers, the properties of can be actively tuned. Among a large number crystals, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are considered one most promising materials due to their renewability, simplicity preparation, unprecedented chirality. A comprehensive overview design principles, methodologies, responsive mechanisms, practical applications chiral CNC is presented here. The changes helix pitch, refractive index, orientation, resulting structural CNCs response various stimuli discussed. Thereafter, novel CNCs, colorimetric sensors, actuators, rewritable papers, anti‐counterfeiting smart tags described. We conclude by discussing future challenges opportunities for developing high‐performance materials.

Abstract Pure organic circularly polarized room‐temperature phosphorescence (CPRTP) materials show significant promise for applications in advanced anti‐counterfeiting, biological imaging, and so on. However, it remains challenging to prepare CPRTP with a high luminescence dissymmetry factor (g lum ). This article provides simple efficient method pure g from cholesteric liquid crystals by incorporation of achiral phosphorescent chromophore dibenzofuran into chiral cholesterol mesogen via flexible spacer. The findings that the synthetic compound Chol‐C6‐DF can form effectively amplify value through selective reflection. film produce yellow when excited chromophore. value, lifetime, quantum yield produced under excitation 380 nm light are −0.19, 567.7 ms, 3.2%, respectively.

Abstract Chiral self‐assembly has often been found to be an efficient strategy for the development of high‐performance circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) materials, through regulation ordered helical superstructure blocks in liquid crystal media. Here, design and synthesis two pairs axially chiral emitters (BBXT‐3‐Br BOHXT‐3‐Br) are reported based on bromoxanthone. And self‐assembled polymer (LCP) framework (PRM257) is demonstrated by mixing with monomer (RM257) thermal annealing photoinitiated polymerization. Both BBXT‐3‐Br@PRM257 BOHXT‐3‐Br@PRM257 exhibited excellent room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) properties. In addition, enantiomers showed afterglow average lifetime ( τ ) 162.41 ms emitted blue CPL λ em = 450 nm, Φ FL 1.3%, | g 0.071), although weak RTP (CP‐RTP) observed. Interestingly, a less conjugated system emits red 98.83 ms) also intense CP‐RTP 612 Phos 0.45%, 0.057).
