Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens can enhance the photonic response of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), but their controlled polymerization to produce macromolecular networks for LSC structures remains underexplored. Here, the authors develop a series of copolymers based on methyl methacrylate and an AIE-active monomer (tetraphenyl ethylene methacrylate) through free radical and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, showing that RAFT-based LSCs exhibit more consistent device performance.
