Abstract
High refractive index, low birefringence photopolymers were created via the radical-mediated, ring opening homopolymerization of 1,2-dithiolane functionalized monomers and were subsequently evaluated as holographic recording media. This investigation systematically characterized the reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and volume shrinkage of the 1,2-dithiolane homopolymerization as well as the optical transparency, refractive index, birefringence, and holographic performance of multifunctional 1,2-dithiolane functionalized monomers and their resultant polymers. Real-time kinetic and thermodynamic analyses of a monofunctional 1,2-dithiolane monomer, lipoic acid methyl ester (LipOMe), indicated rapid monomer conversion, exceeding 90% in 60 s, with an overall enthalpy of reaction of 18 ± 1 kJ/mol. The ring-opening polymerization resulted in low shrinkage (10.6 ± 0.3 cm3/mol dithiolane) and a significant bulk refractive index increase (0.030 ± 0.003). The resulting photopolymers exhibited high optical transparency, minimal haze, and negligible birefringence, suggesting the potential of 1,2-homopolymers as optical materials. To further explore the specific capabilities for use as high-performance holographic recording applications, several multifunctional monomers were synthesized with the ethanedithiol lipoic acid monomer (EDT-Lip2) selected for experimentation. Holographic diffraction gratings written using this monomer achieved a peak-to-mean refractive index modulation of 0.008 with minimal haze and birefringence.

Abstract
The development in the field of high refractive index materials is a crucial factor for the advancement of optical devices with advanced features such as image sensors, optical data storage, antireflective coatings, light-emitting diodes, and nanoimprinting. Sulfur plays an important role in high refractive index applications owing to its high molar refraction compared to carbon. Sulfur exists in multiple oxidation states and can exhibit various stable functional groups. Over the last few decades, sulfur-containing polymers have attracted much attention owing to their wide array of applications governed by the functional group of sulfur present in the polymer repeat unit. The interplay of refractive index and various other polymer properties contributes to successfully implementing a specific polymer material in optical applications. The focus on developing optoelectronic devices induced an ever-increasing need to integrate different functional materials to achieve the devices' full potential. Several devices that see the potential use of sulfur in high refractive index materials are reviewed in the study. Like sulfur, selenium also exhibits high molar refraction and unique chemical properties, making it an essential field of study. This review covers the research and development in the field of sulfur and selenium in different forms of functionality, focusing on the chemistry of bonding and the optical properties of the polymers containing the heteroatoms mentioned above. The strategy and rationale behind incorporating heteroatoms in a polymer matrix to produce high-refractive-index materials are also described in the present review.

Abstract
The ever-growing need to inspect matter with hyperfine structures requires a revolution in current scintillation detectors, and the innovation of scintillators is revived with luminescent metal halides entering the scene. Notably, for any scintillator, two fundamental issues arise: Which kind of material is suitable and in what form should the material exist? The answer to the former question involves the sequence of certain atoms into specific crystal structures that facilitate the conversion of X-ray into light, whereas the answer to the latter involves assembling these crystallites into particular material forms that can guide light propagation toward its corresponding pixel detector. Despite their equal importance, efforts are overwhelmingly devoted to improving the X-ray-to-light conversion, while the material-form-associated light propagation, which determines the optical signal collected for X-ray imaging, is largely overlooked. This perspective critically correlates the reported spatial resolution with the light-propagation behavior in each form of metal halides, combing the designing rules for their future development.

Abstract
High refractive index polymers (HRIPs) are widely used in lenses, waveguide, antireflective layer and encapsulators, especially the advanced fields of augmented/virtual reality (AR / VR) holographic technology and photoresist for chip manufacturing. In order to meet the needs of different applications, the development of HRIPs focuses not only on the increase in refractive index but also on the balance of other properties. Sulfur-containing high refractive index polymers have received extensive attention from researchers due to their excellent properties. In recent years, not only ultrahigh refractive index sulfur-containing polymers have been continuously developed, but also low dispersion, low birefringence, high transparency, good mechanical properties, and machinability have been studied. The design of HRIPs is generally based on formulas and existing experience. In fact, molecular structure and properties are closely related. Mastering the structure-property relationship helps researchers to develop high refractive index polymer materials with balanced properties. This review briefly introduces the preparation methods of sulfur-containing high refractive index polymers, and summarizes the structure-property relationship between the sulfur-containing molecular structure and optical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties, etc. Finally, the important role of synergistic effect in the synthesis of HRIPs and the prospect of future research on HRIPs are proposed.

Abstract
We report the facile synthesis of telechelic poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) derivatives bearing functional groups at both termini. α,ω-Dihalogenated dimethyl-substituted PPS were obtained in high yield with a high degree of end-functionalization by using soluble poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenesulfide) (PMPS) and 4,4'-dihalogenated diphenyl disulfide (X-DPS, X = Cl, Br) as a precursor and an end-capping agent, respectively. Further end-functionalization is achieved through cross-coupling reactions; particularly, the Kumada-Tamao cross-coupling reaction of bromo-terminated telechelic PMPS and a vinylated Grignard reagent afforded end-vinylated PMPS with thermosetting properties. This synthetic approach can be applied to the preparation of various aromatic telechelic polymers with the desired structures and functionalities.

Abstract
High refractive index polymers (HRIPs) have drawn attention for their optoelectronic applications and HRIPs with excellent transparency and facile preparation are highly demanded. Herein, sulfur-containing all organic HRIPs with refractive indices up to 1.8433 at 589 nm and excellent optical transparency even in one hundred micrometre scale in the visual and RI region as well as high weight-average molecular weights (up to 44500) are prepared by our developed organobase catalyzed polymerization of bromoalkynes and dithiophenols in yields up to 92%. Notably, the fabricated optical transmission waveguides using the resultant HRIP with the highest refractive index display a reduced propagation loss compared with that generated by the commercial material of SU-8. In addition, the tetraphenylethylene containing polymer not only exhibits a reduced propagation loss, but also is used to examine the uniformity and continuity of optical waveguides with naked eyes because of its aggregation-induced emission feature.

Abstract
High refractive index polymers are essential in next-generation flexible optical and optoelectronic devices. This paper describes a simple synthetic method to prepare polymeric optical coatings possessing high refractive indexes. Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) thin films prepared using initiated chemical vapor deposition are exposed to highly polarizable halogen molecules to form stable charge-transfer complexes: P4VP-IX (X = I, Br, and Cl). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm the formation of charge-transfer complexes. Characterized by spectroscopic ellipsometry, the maximum refractive index of 2.08 at 587.6 nm is obtained for P4VP-I2. For P4VP-IBr and P4VP-ICl, the maximum refractive indexes are 1.849 and 1.774, respectively. By controlling the concentration of charge-transfer complexes, either through the halogen incorporation step or polymer composition through copolymerization with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, the refractive indexes of the polymer thin films can be precisely controlled. The feasibility of P4VP-IX materials as optical coatings is also explored. The refractive index and thickness uniformity of a P4VP-I2 film over a 10 mm diameter circular area were characterized, showing standard deviations of 0.0769 and 1.91%, respectively.

Abstract
Inverse vulcanization techniques are used to fabricate thermodynamically stable, sulfur polymers. Sulfur-based polymers exhibit higher refractive indices and improved transparency in the mid-wave infrared region compared with most organic polymers. Herein, the postsynthetic modification of sulfur polymers created via inverse vulcanization to generate novel, inorganic/organic photoresists is discussed. Amine-containing sulfur resins are postfunctionalized with cross-linkable alkynes. The sulfur-based materials undergo rapid photo-crosslinking to generate patternable films within 10 min under UV irradiation (365 nm). The development of these resins enables sulfur polymers to be utilized in processes where spatial and hierarchical control is necessary. The generation of this class of materials also expands on sulfur-based organic polymer systems with optical applications.

Abstract
High-refractive-index polymers (HRIPs) are attractive materials for the development of optical devices with high performances. However, because practical components and structures for HRIPs are limited from the viewpoint of synthetic techniques, it has proved difficult using traditional strategies to enhance the refractive index (RI) of HRIPs to more than a certain degree (over 1.8) while maintaining their visible transparency. Here, we found that poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) derivatives featuring both methylthio and hydroxy groups can simultaneously exhibit balanced properties of an ultrahigh RI of n D = 1.85 and Abbe number of νD = 20 owing to the synergistic effect of high molar refraction and dense intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H-bonds). This brand new strategy is anticipated to contribute to the development of HRIPs displaying ultrahigh RI with adequate Abbe numbers beyond the empirical n D-νD threshold, which has not been achieved to date.

Unlike the previous commonly used strong alkaline solvent sodium hydroxide, we employ an eco-friendly solvent, ethanol, as a solvent for the preparation of ultra-small-sized sulfur quantum dots (SQDs). Ethanol can disperse bulk sulfur and allow sufficient transfer of large-sized sulfur to smaller-sized SQDs through a one-pot synthesis approach. The SQDs obtained from ethanol as the solvent displays superior photoluminescence properties to those in water and sodium hydroxide. By delicately controlling the reaction conditions, including the amount of bulk sulfur, the reaction time, and the proportion of sulfur to oxidizing reagent, highly blue emissive SQDs with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 7.04% with ultra-high stability for several months can be successfully prepared. Furthermore, we found out that the SQDs display a dynamic photoluminescence properties and varied particle sizes as the reaction time increases, which is possibly realized via the etching-aggregation process. Morevoer, the fluorescence of SQDs-72 can be effectively quenched by CoOOH nanosheets and recovered upon addition of ascorbic acid (AA) by consuming CoOOH nanosheets through the redox reaction, leading to fluorescence recovery. Therefore, a fluorescence "off-on" nanosensor for the detection of AA with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.85 μM was constructed.

Abstract
Polymers are essential components of many nanostructured materials. However, the refractive indices of common polymers fall in a relatively narrow range between 1.4 and 1.6. Here, it is demonstrated that loading commercially-available polymers with large concentrations of a plant-based pigment can effectively enhance their refractive index. For polystyrene (PS) loaded with 67 w/w% β-carotene (BC), a peak value of 2.2 near the absorption edge at 531 nm is achieved, while maintaining values above 1.75 across longer wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Despite high pigment loadings, this blend maintains the thermoforming ability of PS, and BC remains molecularly dispersed. Similar results are demonstrated for the plant-derived polymer ethyl cellulose (EC). Since the refractive index enhancement is intimately connected to the introduction of strong absorption, it is best suited to applications where light travels short distances through the material, such as reflectors and nanophotonic systems. Enhanced reflectance from films is experimentally demonstrated, as large as sevenfold for EC at selected wavelengths. Theoretical calculations highlight that this simple strategy can significantly increase light scattering by nanoparticles and enhance the performance of Bragg reflectors.

Abstract
At its basic conceptualization, photoclick chemistry embodies a collection of click reactions that are performed via the application of light. The emergence of this concept has had diverse impact over a broad range of chemical and biological research due to the spatiotemporal control, high selectivity, and excellent product yields afforded by the combination of light and click chemistry. While the reactions designated as "photoclick" have many important features in common, each has its own particular combination of advantages and shortcomings. A more extensive realization of the potential of this chemistry requires a broader understanding of the physical and chemical characteristics of the specific reactions. This review discusses the features of the most frequently employed photoclick reactions reported in the literature: photomediated azide-alkyne cycloadditions, other 1,3-dipolarcycloadditions, Diels-Alder and inverse electron demand Diels-Alder additions, radical alternating addition chain transfer additions, and nucleophilic additions. Applications of these reactions in a variety of chemical syntheses, materials chemistry, and biological contexts are surveyed, with particular attention paid to the respective strengths and limitations of each reaction and how that reaction benefits from its combination with light. Finally, challenges to broader employment of these reactions are discussed, along with strategies and opportunities to mitigate such obstacles.

Abstract
A scalable synthesis of high refractive index, optically transparent photopolymers from a family of low-viscosity multifunctional thiol and alkyne monomers via thiol-yne "click" is described herein. The monomers designed to incorporate high refractive index cores consisting of aryl and sulfide groups with high intrinsic molar refraction were synthesized starting from commercially available low-cost raw materials. The low-viscosity (<500 cP) thiol-yne resins formulated with these new multifunctional monomers and a phosphine oxide photoinitiator underwent efficient thiol-yne polymerizations upon exposure to 405 nm light at 30 mW/cm2. In contrast to the previously reported thiol-ene systems, the kinetic profile of these photopolymerizations showed significant dependence on the nature of the thiol and alkyne monomers. However, the ability of the thiol-yne reaction to introduce a large number of sulfide linkages compared to that of thiol-ene systems yielded cross-linked high optical quality photopolymers with a polymer refractive index that exceeds 1.68 (nD/20 °C). Interestingly, the photopolymer formed from the least sterically hindered alkynyl thioether monomer 2b with flexible thioether core and the dithiol 1a exhibited unprecedented difference in the polymer refractive index as compared to that of the resin with polymerization-induced changes reaching up to 0.08. Furthermore, the implementation of these low-viscosity thiol-yne resins was demonstrated by preparing two-stage photopolymeric holographic materials with a dynamic range of ∼0.02 and haze < 1.5% in two-dimensional high refractive index structures.

Abstract
The development of a controlled and reliable method to construct well-defined sulfur-containing polymers has sparked great interest in polymer science. Herein, we present the trial on the copolymerization of isothiocyanates with episulfides in the presence of organic onium salts, which provides direct access to a class of sulfur-rich polymers. This methodology has combined advantages of simple operation, no metals, mild conditions (25-100 °C), controlled polymerization performance (Mn > 105 g mol-1, Đ < 1.3), and high reactivity (turnover frequency over 1000 h-1). The metal-free feature and versatility of the easily accessible monomers, along with fine adjustment of the final properties enable this strategy to be a feasible approach to produce sulfur-rich polymers (16 examples).

Abstract
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are a promising technology for integration and renewable energy generation in buildings because they are inexpensive, lightweight, aesthetically versatile, can concentrate both direct and diffuse light and offer wavelength-selective transparency. LSCs have been extensively investigated for applications involving photovoltaic electricity generation. However, little work has been done to investigate the use of thermal energy generated at the edges of LSCs, despite the potential for harnessing a broad range of solar thermal energy. In this work, Newton’s law of cooling is used to measure the thermal power generated at the edge of LSC modules subjected to solar-simulated radiation. Results show that the dye in single-panel LSC modules can generate 17.9 W/m2 under solar-simulated radiation with an intensity of 23.95 mW/cm2 over the spectral region from 360 to 1000 nm. Assuming a mean daily insolation of 5 kWh/m2, the dye in the single-panel LSC modules can generate ~100 kWh/m2 annually. If the surface area of a building is comparable to its floor space, thermal energy generated from LSCs on the buildings surface could be used to substantially reduce the buildings energy consumption.

Abstract
Sulfur nanodots (S-dots), composed of an elemental sulfur core and surface ligands, show unexpected photoluminescence (PL) properties, with the unique features of nontoxicity, hydrophilicity, high stability and easy modification. This review systematically introduces the synthesis methods, characterization, PL mechanisms and some typical applications of S-dots in chemical sensing. As the PL quantum yield (QY) is a key factor to evaluate the performance of luminescent materials, we report the synthesis methods according to the achievement in the promotion of PL QY. The PL mechanisms of S-dots are discussed from the view of the effects of the elemental sulfur core and passivated ligands on the PL QY and emission color. The design principle of analytical methods for various target molecules using S-dots is introduced. We end this review with the conclusions and some challenges in this field, which is expected to provide some clues for researchers in this field.
