- The exploration of emission pathways from high-excited states in organic luminogens has recently become prosperous owing to improved possibilities to study so-called anti-Kasha's rule emission with the potential of improving the luminescent quantum efficiency. However, emission pathway switching among different high-excited states has rarely been addressed through external control. We here present a rational design and synthesis of a novel azulene-based emitter to achieve a responsive control of its anti-Kasha's rule emissive switching. The emitter initially gives rise to an S-3-to-S-0 dominant emission as indicated by our experimental and theoretical studies. On this basis, it can be toggled into an S-2-to-S-0 dominant emission upon the H-bond formation between the triformyl groups and water molecules. Such a process, which originates from the H-bonding regulated distribution of excited state energy, is accompanied by a remarkable fluorescent color conversion and a significant improvement of the fluorescent quantum yield in the azulene family. Moreover, a reversible emissive switching in doped films was observed to depend on a solid-state H-bond tuning process with moisture sensitivity. These results may provide new insight for building advanced chemical systems for visualized sensing with high distinguishability.

- The emergence of ionic-junction devices has attracted growing interests due to the potential of serving as signal transmission and translation media between electronic devices and biological systems using ions. Among them, fiber-shaped iontronics possesses a great advantage in implantable applications owing to the unique one-dimensional geometry. However, fabricating stable ionic-junction on curved surfaces remains a challenge. Here, we developed a polyelectrolyte based ionic-junction fiber via an integrated opposite charge grafting method capable of large-scale continuous fabrication. The ionic-junction fibers can be integrated into functions such as ionic diodes and ionic bipolar junction transistors, where rectification and switching of input signals are implemented. Moreover, synaptic functionality has also been demonstrated by utilizing the fiber memory capacitance. The connection between the ionic-junction fiber and sciatic nerves of the mouse simulating end-to-side anastomosis is further performed to realize effective nerve signal conduction, verifying the capability for next-generation artificial neural pathways in implantable bioelectronics. Ionic-junction devices are difficult to integrate with fiber-shaped tissues like nerves and muscles for applications in implantable bioelectronics due to their large size and bulk structure. Authors realize here easy to implant fiber-shaped iontronics through an integrated opposite charge grafting process, enabling the construction of ionic logic gates and artificial neural pathways.
