In this work, we reported a new strategy to maintain both high efficiency and long lifetime in RTP luminogens through the integration of phenothiazine to facilitate n-π<sup>⋆</sup> transition and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) dominated by π-π<sup>⋆</sup> transition. When they were doped into polymer matrix, full color photo-induced RTP materials were obtained for the changed π-conjugation of PAHs. Among them, PTri@PVP showed the best RTP performance with phosphorescence efficiency of 20.73% and lifetime up to 819 ms. Specifically, after turning off the ultraviolet-visible (UV) irradiation upon this system, time-dependent phosphorescence afterglow from green to blue was exhibited, which was found to originate from two distinct molecular conformations and could be further regulated by thermal stimulus.

Optimizing the electrolyte composition with additives can significantly improve the battery performance and has attracted great attention. Herein, we propose an organometallic salt, i.e., nickel bromide dimethoxyethane (NiBr<sub>2</sub>DME), as an electrolyte additive, which serves as the dual function of regulating LiPSs redox and synchronously stabilizing Li anodes.
