Persistent luminescence from metal-free organic materials is attractive for their ultralong exciton lifetimes. Color-tunable persistent luminescence from single-component organic materials is fascinating but still challenging. By utilizing an efficient approach of "self"-interface energy transfer (IET), the persistent luminescence color of an organic phosphor (CTXO) can be reversibly and continuously tuned by external physical stimuli. Its color circularly changes between green (lifetime = 0.24 s) and deep-yellow (lifetime = 0.10 s) when CTXO is repeatedly triggered with thermal annealing and mechanical grinding. Self-IET from the crystalline part (donor), which exhibits persistent room-temperature phosphorescence, to the amorphous part (acceptor) inside its semicrystal during these treatments is found to be the key exciton process for such novel color modulation. This also provides opportunity for designing stimuli-responsive smart materials with controlled persistent luminescence.
