To address this critical limitation, this study focuses on developing thiol-acrylate polymer network-stabilized multistable cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) smart windows, with performance enabled by the synergistic combination of the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) effect and the dielectric effect. A complex polymer network was constructed by precisely adjusting the mass ratio of thiol to acrylate monomers, followed by UV curing of the ChLC-monomer mixture. This curing process simultaneously initiates two key reactions: acrylate homopolymerization reaction and thiol-acrylate Michael addition reaction, forming a network with both rigid homopolymer chains and flexible polymer segments that is critical for stabilizing multistable states. Through the regulation of the driving voltage at a fixed frequency (low frequency: 50 Hz, high frequency: 2 kHz), the device achieves not only dynamic transmittance control but also sustained multistability after voltage removal: transmittance can be stably tuned across a range of ∼10% to ∼80% (in ∼10% increments in experiments), without the need for continuous power input. The optimized device exhibits excellent performance metrics: low driving voltages (saturation voltage: 7.37 V at low frequency, 12.75 V at high frequency), a steady-state contrast ratio of 8.3, and an on-state (powered) contrast ratio of 288.5. A 72-h stability test confirmed that each transmittance state remains highly stable, with only marginal fluctuations attributed to minimal molecular rearrangement. This research provides a reliable technical route for low-power multistable smart windows. The thiol-acrylate polymer network effectively resolves the long-standing trade-off between multistability and energy consumption in traditional ChLC devices, holding significant potential for applications in building energy efficiency optimization and intelligent lighting systems, aligning with global carbon neutrality objectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19564,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 117996"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, GQDs were probe sonicated using three organic solvents, N–methyl–2–pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF), and dichloromethane (DCM) to elucidate the role of solvent properties on exfoliation efficiency and resulting structure property relationships. Structural and morphological analysis revealed pronounced solvent–dependent differences. GQDs produced in NMP exhibited the smallest lateral dimensions (∼2–10 nm), narrow thickness distribution (∼1.6–6.1 nm), and improved structural ordering, as evidenced by a relatively sharp (002) diffraction feature and the lowest Raman I<sub>D</sub>/I<sub>G</sub> ratio (0.34), indicating reduced defect density. UV–visible absorption spectra showed a blue–shifted absorption edge for NMP–derived GQDs, while optical band gaps estimated from Tauc plots yielded values of 2.75 eV (NMP), 2.53 eV (DMF), and 2.35 eV (DCM). Consistently, photoluminescence measurements revealed the strongest and most blue–shifted emission for NMP–exfoliated GQDs, confirming enhanced quantum confinement and suppressed non–radiative recombination. These results demonstrate that solvent selection critically governs the structural and optical quality of GQDs, with NMP enabling the formation of highly uniform and optically superior GQDs suitable for scalable optoelectronic applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19564,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 117984"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
