ConspectusThermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials are widely used in organic light-emitting diodes, but their long emission lifetimes also make them ideal for use bioimaging probes, fluorescent sensors, and phototheranostics. Unfortunately, development toward these applications has been restricted by the poor compatibility of most TADF with aqueous conditions. This problem can be addressed encapsulating dyes into nanoparticles that form stable suspensions, while preserving─or even enhancing─the photophysical properties emitters they contain. Free heavy metals, exhibit reduced cytotoxicity, improved oxygen tolerance, higher brightness compared to unencapsulated emitters.This Account discusses recent advances application TADF-active polymer as biocompatible imaging probes stimuli-responsive materials. We demonstrate encapsulation semiconducting dots (Pdots), aggregated (a-Odots) glassy (g-Odots) results tunable sizes, surface chemistries, optoelectronic properties. These nanomaterials particularly well-suited applications, customizable bioconjugate chemistry profiles ranging from deep-blue near-infrared.

Materials exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) based on transition metal complexes are currently gathering significant attention due to their technological potential. Their application extends beyond optoelectronics, in particular organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and electrochemical cells (LECs), include also photocatalysis, sensing, X-ray scintillators. From the perspective of sustainability, earth-abundant centers preferred rarer second- third-transition series elements, thus determining a reduction costs toxicity but without compromising overall performances. This review offers an overview TADF as photoconversion materials. Particular is devoted types ligands employed, helping design novel systems with enhanced properties.

Abstract Microspheres dispersed in composites exhibit excellent infrared emissivity for radiative cooling applications, which reflect sunlight and passively dissipate heat into space without electricity. In this study, hierarchical microspheres (HMs) with a two‐tier structure, composed of SiO 2 , TiO ‐coated BaSO 4 or PNIPAM, are incorporated PDMS‐based composites. These feature larger spheres assembled from submicrometer‐scale nanoparticles fabricated via microfluidics to enhance performance. HMs not only boost visible light reflection structural color through photonic stop band but also achieve an average 97.55% the atmospheric window. Both experimental simulated results show that performance composite material compared solid same diameter. Additionally, applying coating further increases overall 98.05%. Incorporating increased reflectivity 96.56%, while maintaining superior at 97.58%. The inclusion PNIPAM enabled temperature‐responsive transmissivity, materials containing preserving high HM structures solar thermal emission, making them effective cooling.
