Abstract
Long-afterglow materials have a broad of applications in optoelectronic devices, sensors, medicine and other fields due to their excellent luminescent properties. The host-guest long-afterglow MOFs material combines the advantages of multi-component characteristics and the stability of MOFs, which improves its luminous performance and expands its other properties. This review introduces the classification, synthesis and application of host-guest MOFs materials with long afterglow. Due to their rigid frames and multi-channel characteristics, MOFs can load common guest materials including rare earth metals, organic dyes, carbon dots, etc. The synthesis methods of loading guest materials into MOFs include solvothermal synthesis, post-encapsulation, post-modification, etc. Those long-afterglow host-guest MOFs have a wide range of applications in the fields of sensors, information security and biological imaging.
