Recent advances on zinc- and/or sulfur-containing mechanoluminescent materials and their spectroscopic properties toward diverse applications

Recently, the longing for new lighting sources and their applications has accelerated the rapid development and exploration of new luminescent materials. In the past years, mechanically-stimulated zinc- and/or sulfur-containing mechanoluminescent materials (ZS-MLMs, hereafter), as an important class of luminescent materials and the most frequently-reported MLMs, have played a crucial role in this process due to their remarkable advantages such as rapid force-converted luminescence response, flex
