Carbon Dots (CDs) that exhibited a First Near Infra-red (NIR) Window absorption was designed by a combination of Nitrogen and Oxygen surface functional groups. The Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT)...

The carbon-based luminescent nanomaterials (CLNMs) have progressively developed and exhibited excellent performance in broad applications. However, the unclear formation mechanism and obtained complex structure of CLNMs, induced a lack of...

Nitrogen and oxygen-based functionalized Carbon dots' (CDs) surfaces have attracted significant attention owing to their ability to tailor CDs' optical and electronic properties. However, the complex synthesis process and structure...
