Abstract

Abstract Advances in energy‐efficient lighting and display technologies demand innovative materials with tailored broad‐spectrum emission properties. Hybrid aggregation‐induced emission metal‐organic frameworks (AIE‐MOFs) offer a promising avenue, combining unique characteristics of organic and inorganic components to yield enhanced luminescence efficiency and robust material stability. The study introduces a spectrum of D (donor)‐A (acceptor) type AIE‐active ligands into MOFs, enabling tunable emission across the visible spectrum, thus underscoring the versatility of these hybridized MOF materials. The emission properties of AIE‐MOFs are further harnessed by integrating them into polymer matrices, resulting in high‐performance electrospun fibers with tunable emission. A significant achievement involves the fabrication of Janus‐type white light‐emitting AIE‐MOF fiber composites via side‐by‐side electrospinning, accomplishing a high quantum yield of 58%, which doubled the performance of homogeneous fibers. Complementing the experimental findings, micro‐Raman and nano‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are employed as local spectroscopic probes, affording a deeper understanding of the material properties and the mechanisms contributing to enhance light emission. In the understanding, this study presents an unconventional implementation of hybrid AIE‐MOFs in Janus‐type structures for white light emission. It significantly improves the efficiency of white light sources in optoelectronics, charting a promising direction for future research in the emergent AIE‐MOF field.
