To conclude, the development of new molecules and nanostructured materials with AI‐ECL characteristics is highly desirable for many applications e.g. biomolecular sensing, chemical sensing, stimuli‐responsive materials, or optoelectronic systems. The AIE effect permits the use of aggregated suspension of luminogens, in contrast to their molecular dispersed state, in aqueous media, which are essential for the development of biological assays. Also, the turn‐on/light‐up nature of the AI‐ECL sensors makes them promising for on‐site screening and household testing. Although the field is still in its infancy, the entire amount of reports has demonstrated to be an emerging and appealing research area. The simplicity of the AI‐ECL systems and their promising results will undoubtedly encourage scientists to develop new strategies for application platforms.
