Since the seminal report by Adachi and co-workers in 2012, there has been a veritable explosion of interest in the design of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compounds, particularly as emitters for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). With rapid advancements and innovation in materials design, the efficiencies of TADF OLEDs for each of the primary color points as well as for white devices now rival those of state-of-the-art phosphorescent emitters. Beyond electroluminescent devices, TADF compounds have also found increasing utility and applications in numerous related fields, from photocatalysis, to sensing, to imaging and beyond. Following from our previous review in 2017 ( 2017, 1605444), we here comprehensively document subsequent advances made in TADF materials design and their uses from 2017-2022. Correlations highlighted between structure and properties as well as detailed comparisons and analyses should assist future TADF materials development. The necessarily broadened breadth and scope of this review attests to the bustling activity in this field. We note that the rapidly expanding and accelerating research activity in TADF material development is indicative of a field that has reached adolescence, with an exciting maturity still yet to come.
自2012年足立及其同事发表开创性报告以来，人们对热激活延迟荧光（TADF）化合物的设计兴趣激增，尤其是作为有机发光二极管（OLED）的发光材料。随着材料设计的快速进步和创新，TADF OLED在每个原色点以及白色器件方面的效率现在已经可以与最先进的磷光发光材料相媲美。除了电致发光器件，TADF化合物在从光催化到传感、成像等众多相关领域也越来越有用和得到应用。继我们2017年的综述（2017, 1605444）之后，我们在此全面记录2017年至2022年期间TADF材料设计及其应用方面的后续进展。突出的结构与性能之间的相关性以及详细的比较和分析应有助于未来TADF材料的开发。本综述必然拓宽的广度和范围证明了该领域的活跃程度。我们注意到，TADF材料开发中迅速扩大和加速的研究活动表明该领域已进入青春期，令人兴奋的成熟阶段仍未来临。
