The continuing growth of the digital world requires new ways of constructing memory devices to process and store dynamic data, because the current ones suffer from inefficiency, limited reads, and difficulty to manufacture. Here we propose a supramolecular dynamic memory (SDM) strategy based on an enzymolysis-induced energy transfer co-assembly derived from a naphthalene-based cationic monomer and organic dye sulforhodamine 101, enabling the construction of spontaneously recoverable dynamic memory devices. Benefitting from the large exciton migration rate (4.48 × 1015 L mol−1 s−1) between the monomer and sulforhodamine 101, the energy transfer process between the two is effectively achieved. Since alkaline phosphatase can selectively hydrolyze adenosine triphosphate, leading to the disruption of the co-assemblies, an enzyme-mediated time-dependent fluorochromic system is realized. On this basis, a SDM system featuring spontaneous recovery and enabling the memory of dynamic information in optical and electrical modes is successfully constructed. The current study represents a promising step in the nascent development of supramolecular materials for computational systems.
