Circularly polarized luminescence of agglomerate emitters

Abstract

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) originates from the chiral emissive excited states. CPL materials have promising applications in 3D optical displays, encryptions, biological probes, chiral photoelectric devices, and CPL switches, most of which require excellent CPL performances including bright luminescence and high luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) in the agglomerate state. This review systematically summarizes the progress about CPL of aggregate and solid materials, such as organic materials, metal-organic materials (such as coordination polymers, organic-inorganic metal halides, metal clusters, and cluster-assembled materials), the assembled materials by supramolecular interactions, and liquid crystals. We also present the current challenges and a future perspective of chiral emitting agglomerate materials.
