Abstract

Lanthanide-derived flexible luminescent hydrogels have attracted attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, which enable the construction of functional and architecturally designed materials inspired by nature. This comprehensive review provides insight into the design principles and fabrication strategies for the coordination self-assembly of lanthanide-derived supramolecular hydrogels, outlines the fundamental properties and the importance required in optical and biological fields, summaries recent advances of these hydrogels for multifunctional flexible material construction, and discusses their applications in environmental and medical fields including stimuli responsiveness, chemo-biosensing, luminescence anisotropy, 3D printing, self-healing, and anti-counterfeiting. The objective of this review is to provide useful insights that can advance the development of next-generation bioelectronics and facilitate the connection between luminescent hydrogels as fundamental and multi-functional optical materials for various applied targets. Ultimately, this review aims to accelerate new material design by highlighting recent advances in lanthanide-derived supramolecular hydrogels.
