Abstract
A nanoencapsulation strategy is introduced to a state-of-the-art thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule, i.e. 4CzIPN, which ensures the achievement of air-stable, water-soluble TADF nanoparticles featuring efficient TADF property without an unsatisfactory oxygen quenching effect. Accordingly, we report here for the first time the electrochemiluminescence of TADF emitters in aqueous media.
