1 Introduction Currently, petrochemical-based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials with outstanding optical properties are widely applied in phototherapy, as bio-sensors, in anti-counterfeiting, and several other fields.[1] However, these synthetic AIE materials are mostly derived from molecular scaffolds such as tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and triphenylamine (TPA), which have limitations with respect to accessible structures and are non-renewable.
