Abstract
A dissipative aggregation-induced emission (DAIE) system is successfully fabricated by coupling a stimuli-responsive AIE luminogens (AIEgens) with a pH oscillator. The novel DAIE system exhibits reversible, autonomous and sustainable AIE behaviour. Moreover, the DAIE behaviour can be regulated with the system temperature. The novel strategy will boost the development of bioinspired intelligent systems for real-world applications.
