“…Conformational effects of using surfactants were agreed with previous reports as double-tailed (DDAB) tend to form layered structures, whilst single-tailed surfactants (CTAB) tend to form hexagonal phase-separated structures. [18][19][20] Topology of the DNA-surfactant complex was also reported as driven by the DNAsurfactant stoichiometry of precursor solutions. Upon the assembly process of dyes with DNA-surfactant complex precursors, redshift and broadened emission spectra were observed in accord with the concentration increase of BrPer in solution.…”

DNA‐based hybrid materials have attracted much attention recently for their biocompatibility, tunable optical, and semiconducting properties. In this study, thin films fabricated using native DNA are modified to accommodate the assembled fluorescent dyes (perylene and 3‐bromoperylene), alongside the systematical evaluation of their photophysical properties and performance. Spectroscopy results reveal successful modulation of the molecular excitonic behaviour, achieve switchable single‐chromophore multi‐color emission in DNA‐surfactant‐dye thin films, with high optical transparency and thermal robustness. The nucleotide base pairs effectively suppress unfavorable intermolecular π–π stacking and aggregation (self‐association) of the chromophores, which prevents intersystem crossing and relaxation associated Rydberg type molecular clusters to form intermolecular excimers in E‐state (532, 513 nm) and Y‐state (489, 483 nm), blocking nonradiative decay. The preeminent emission observed (457, 445 nm) is attributed to the 0–1 band monomer emission. Compared to PMMA‐dye assembly, the thin film derived from DNA‐surfactant‐dye hybrid narrows the FWHM values up to 72%, displayed molarity ratio‐dependent emission color tunability from yellow‐orange (CIE 0.47, 0.34) to green (CIE 0.31, 0.21) and blue (CIE 0.17, 0.23). These findings provide a simple, all‐solution processed strategy for creating thin films using DNA‐surfactant‐dye hybrid materials with tunable optical properties suitable for biocompatible displays and data encryption.

Nucleic acids are widely recognized as the most evolved information processing soft material, possessing intrinsic efficiency in transferring and harvesting photon, electron, and energy. Recent developments in semiconductor synthetic biology and nanophotonics have spurred significant research efforts toward modifying and modulating nucleic acid assemblies. Given the rapid advances in using carbon-based hybrid materials for renewable energy, information technology–biotechnology fusion, and medicine, this review highlights recent research on nucleic acid-assembled hybrid materials, their design rationale, and performance modulation according to various application scenarios. Bridging the gap between molecular functionalization and material engineering, this review aims to provide a systematic analysis for researchers, engineers, and end-users to make informed decisions promptly.
