Research topics from publications: A novel AIE-based supramolecular polymer gel serves as an ultrasensitive detection and efficient separation material for multiple heavy metal ions; A novel bis-component AIE smart gel with high selectivity and sensitivity to detect CN−, Fe3+ and H2PO4−. Representative work: Recently, ultrasensitive stimuli-responsive materials have received extensive attention due to their high sensitivity and wide applications. Herein, we report a novel approach to design ultrasensitive responsive materials by rationally introducing the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect into supramolecular polymer gels. According to this approach, by rationally introducing self-assembly moieties and a fluorophore, the obtained gelator DNS can act as an AIEgen; it showed strong AIE after aggregating into the supramolecular polymer gel GDNS. More interestingly, because the aggregation of DNS led to amplification of the detective signal, the AIE-based supramolecular polymer gel GDNS could A novel bis-component AIE smart gel TG could be used for high efficiency and sensitive ions (CN−, Fe3+ and H2PO4−) detection and separation. The LODs of TG for CN−, Fe3+ and H2PO4− are in the range of 4.93 × 10−9–7.80 × 10−8 M
