Organic materials that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are an attractive class of functional materials that have witnessed a booming development in recent years. Since Adachi et al. reported high-performance TADF-OLED devices in 2012, there have been many reports regarding the design and synthesis of new TADF luminogens, which have various molecular structures and are used for different applications. In this review, we summarize and discuss the latest progress concerning this rapidly developing research field, in which the majority of the reported TADF systems are discussed, along with their derived structure-property relationships, TADF mechanisms and applications. We hope that such a review provides a clear outlook of these novel functional materials for a broad range of scientists within different disciplinary areas and attracts more researchers to devote themselves to this interesting research field.
具有热激活延迟荧光（TADF）特性的有机材料是一类极具吸引力的功能材料，近年来得到了蓬勃发展。自 2012 年 Adachi 等人报道了高性能 TADF-OLED 器件以来，已有许多关于新型 TADF 发光材料的设计和合成的报道，这些材料具有不同的分子结构，用于不同的应用。在本综述中，我们总结和讨论了这一快速发展的研究领域的最新进展，讨论了大多数报道的 TADF 体系及其衍生的结构-性质关系、TADF 机制和应用。我们希望这样的综述为不同学科领域的广大科学家提供这些新型功能材料的清晰前景，并吸引更多的研究人员投身于这一有趣的研究领域。
