Abstract

Abstract High‐performance multifunctional afterglow panels are presented, featuring long afterglow duration, narrowband phosphorescence, large‐area processability, high mechanical strength, and anti‐fouling properties, achieved through a rational dopant‐matrix strategy using deuterated coronene (DCor) dopants with intrinsically small phosphorescence rate and polyamide 6 (PA6). Remarkably, the synergistic combination of DCor's long‐lived triplet states and PA6's oxygen‐blocking capability enables an exceptional luminescent performance, featuring 5‐min afterglow duration, 25 s phosphorescence lifetime, and a 23.47% photoluminescence efficiency—representing the longest‐lived room‐temperature phosphorescent material reported. Surprisingly, the panel exhibits narrowband phosphorescence—originates from an intensity‐borrowing vibronic coupling mechanism—with a full width at half maximum of merely 15 nm. Besides, the panels demonstrate a high tensile modulus of 578 ± 17 MPa. The excellent processability of PA6 allows scalable fabrication of these panels up to 2.27 × 1.30 m 2 . Furthermore, coating with a fluorinated hollow SiO 2 layer further imparts anti‐fouling and anti‐reflective properties. The durability and functionality of the panels are significantly enhanced beyond the capabilities of previously reported systems.
