Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials possessing unique properties in both the solution state and the aggregate state in the aspects of absorption, photoluminescence and heat generation have been well-established for wide applications in the past two decades. In recent years, several emerging applications of AIE materials in solar energy utilization, including luminescent solar concentrators, photosynthesis augmentation and solar steam generation have been reported. This mini-review provides a concise summary of these AIE materials in these aspects.
期刊介绍:
Nanoscale Horizons stands out as a premier journal for publishing exceptionally high-quality and innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The emphasis lies on original research that introduces a new concept or a novel perspective (a conceptual advance), prioritizing this over reporting technological improvements. Nevertheless, outstanding articles showcasing truly groundbreaking developments, including record-breaking performance, may also find a place in the journal. Published work must be of substantial general interest to our broad and diverse readership across the nanoscience and nanotechnology community.
