C-dotsfluorescencenanocompositesgreen synthesisbioimagingNanotechnology has become one of the most important topics since the beginning of the twenty-first century in numerous fields including drug synthesis and delivery, environmental protection, electronics manufacture, and astronomy due to their nanoscale ...
it is hard to achieve a room temperature phosphorescence material with simultaneous long lifetime and high phosphorescence quantum efficiency. Herein, multi-confined carbon dots were designed and fabricated, enabling room temperature phosphorescence material with...
that the formation processes of o-pd CDs were similar to those of carbonized polymer dots (CPDs), where DAP structures initially aggregated with themselves to form polymeric clusters, further carbonization of polymeric clusters endowed the polymer clusters with a preliminary core-shell structure. With...
Their carbonized core contributes the predominant properties (e.g., enhanced fluorescence [47]) of CPDs compared with traditional polymer dots. Yang et al. [27] suggested that the carbon core of CPDs included several subcategories: complete carbonized cores, the paracrystalline carbon structure ...
The functionalization of C-dots with GPTMS has been designed to allow a full integration into a hybrid organic-inorganic material through covalent bonding and to modulate the photophysical properties. We have, therefore, selected and optimized the synthesis to control the C-dots structure and PL pro...
(novel temperature-sensing materials with a high spatial resolution at the nanoscale). Such nanothermometers have been developed using different platforms such as fluorescent proteins, organic compounds, metal nanoparticles, rare-earth-doped nanoparticles, and semiconductor quantum dots. Carbon dots (CDs)...
Carbon dots (CDs) are one of the advancing fluorescent materials, which draw increasing attention in both theoretical research and practical applications. However, the clear chemical structure and photoluminescence (PL) mechanism of CDs is still an open debate, which limits the development of CDs. ...
Herein, guided by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, an oxygen-respirable Co@C–O–Cs porous sponge with aerophilic triphase interface and oxygen-rich active sites was constructed with the assistance of carbon dots (CDs). Benefited from the high hydrophilicity and aerophilicity of ...
As a more promising alternative, recently, semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots (QDs) have been intensively investigated for simultaneous diagnosis and therapy (theranostics)8,9,10. Because the QDs have high resistance to photobleaching, large stokes shift, narrow size dependent emission spec...
Due to complex structure and surface functionalities, photoluminescence mechanisms of Carbon Dots are unknown, and it is challenging to synthesize Carbon Dots to achieve the desired optical properties. Herein, Carbon Dots simultaneously exhibiting high-c
