Abstract

at ∼0.2 s) and narrowband organic afterglow emissions to date. Theoretical simulations attribute the narrowband emission to dominant low-frequency vibronic coupling in the coronene derivative system, offering mechanistic insights into spectral narrowing. This work establishes a new paradigm for molecular design of ultrabright narrowband afterglow materials, paving the way for their applications in illumination, anticounterfeiting, and information encryption.
