Background
The practical application potential of reversible switch functional materials in the fields of data storage, sensors, color displays, architecture and construction, healthcare, memory, etc. has made them increasingly interesting. Since the 80 s in the 20 th century, the development of reversible switching functional materials has made great demands on the switching characteristics sensitive to environmental response and stimulation. Most of these reversible switching functional materials contain an organic component and are reversibly switchable under continuous stimulation. However, some organic moieties may be toxic, change slowly in speed in the solid state, and undergo aging and degradation by continued external stimuli (e.g., ultraviolet radiation). All of these problems greatly limit their practical applications. Although there is significant real-world interest in producing stable reversible functional materials to meet the ever-increasing global demands, there are still many challenges in practical applications, such as stability and cost.
