The fluorescent gel with good flexibility and biocompatibility has attracted more and more attention due to its excellent optical properties. In this paper, the research progresses in preparation methods and applications of fluorescent gels are reviewed. In addition, the preparation methods of self-assembly and polymerization of fluorescent gel are also introduced. In this paper, it should be noted that some outstanding research about the fluorescent gels used in sensors, bio-imaging probes, drug delivery, and other application fields is summarized. This work provides useful reference information for further exploration and study of fluorescent hydrogels.
