High-performance aggregation-induced emission active poly(ether sulfone)s as polymeric electret for energy-saving genuine photonic transistor memory

•Photo-active poly(ether sulfone)s is first applied in the transistor memory device.•The genuine photo-programming, a more energy-saving feature, have proposed.•The sulfone groups facilitate pentacene growth to reduce the device-driven voltage.•The ether linkages prevent charge leakage and show outstanding retention.
