Clusteroluminescence is a phenomenon whereby the aggregation or clustering of non-conjugated electron-rich units leads to the emission of light at long wavelengths. This phenomenon was first discovered in poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers. In recent years, clusteroluminescence has attracted growing research interest and its photophysical properties and mechanism have been thoroughly studied. In this review, we first briefly introduce the development of different types of clusteroluminogens. Then we highlight recent developments in clusteroluminescence, including mechanistic studies, the disclosure of room-temperature phosphorescence, and the extension of emission to the longer-wavelength region. Lastly, we demonstrate a few applications in various fields. With advantages such as being earth-abundant, biocompatible and biodegradable, clusteroluminogens are envisioned to be commonplace in the future.

聚簇发光是一种现象，非富电子共轭单元的聚集或聚簇导致长波长光的发射。这种现象最早是在聚（酰胺胺）（PAMAM）树状聚合物中发现的。近年来，团簇发光引起了越来越多的研究兴趣，并且对其光物理性质和机理进行了深入研究。在这篇综述中，我们首先简要介绍了不同类型的类群球蛋白原的发展。然后，我们重点介绍了团簇发光的最新进展，包括机理研究，室温磷光的公开以及发射到更长波长区域的扩展。最后，我们演示了各个领域的一些应用。具有地球丰富，生物相容性和可生物降解的优点，
