a Schematic illustration the competitive decay channels of luminescent materials. b Proposed mechanism and c molecular structures for irradiation-responsive ultralong RTP systems. Singlet excitons (Sn) produce triplet excitons (Tn) through the ISC process, and suppressing nonradiative transitions of the molecules leads to efficient phosphorescence. The formation of a rigid surrounding matrix can stabilize the triplet excitons and generate radiation-dependent phosphorescence.
