“…Since the discoveryo ft he aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenonb yT ang and co-workersi n2 001, AIE materials have attracted at remendousa mount of attentioni nb oth condensed-matter physics andm aterials chemistry due to their potentiala pplicationsi n, for example, biological probes, chemical sensing, opticalw aveguides, organicl ight-emittingd iodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), liquid crystals, self-assembly systems, circularly polarized luminescence, and solar cells. [1][2][3][4][5] However,t hese AIE materialsa re usually not suitable for constructing solid nonlinearo ptical (NLO) devices due to their strong solid-statea ggregation behavior driven by enhanced van der Waals attractive forces between the AIE mole-cules.Alarge number of reports have demonstrated that strongi ntermoleculari nteractions can shorten the excitedstate lifetime, add relaxation pathways, and thereby reduce ef-fectiveN LO absorption. [6][7][8] To address this problem,i tw ould be highly desirable to designa nd synthesize non-aggregation functional materials with AIE moieties for NLO and opticall imiting (OL) devicesb ya xially graftingA IE molecules or polymers onto fused 2D nanosheets (e.g.,g raphene, [9] graphene oxide (GO), [10] reduced graphene oxide (RGO), [11] transition-metal dichalcogenides (MX 2 ,X = S, Se;M = Mo, Nb, W, Ta), and fewlayer black phosphorus (BP)).…”
