Synchronizing Tunable Luminescence and Shape Morphing in a Metal Nanocluster–Enabled Hydrogel Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A nanocluster–gel platform is developed to synchronously integrate tunable luminescence and shape morphing under a single stimulus, with emission programmability encoded through cluster size modulation (Au10 → Au18). Solvent‐induced shape–optical transitions are visualized in a lotus‐shaped gel that dynamically folds and dims, enabling rapid (< 5 s ...
