Facile Access to White Fluorescent Carbon Dots toward Light-Emitting Devices

Abstract: Surface-passivated photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) were prepared via a facile one-step pyrolysis of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in the presence of glycerol. In the formation process of CDs, glycerol not only acts as solvent, but also promotes the carbonization of PAA (carbon source) and passivates the surface of CDs. The as-prepared CDs can emit brightwhite fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) illumination. The structure and optical properties of the CDs were thoroughly investigated. The CDs show excellent solu… Show more

“…When the X-rays interacts with a crystallite C-dots sample, the constructive interference is produced, and these diffracted X-rays are then detected, processed, and counted, revealing the average structure of C-dots [86,87,89,[130][131][132][133][134][135][136]. Figure 3(A) displays a typical XRD pattern of polyethylenimine (PEI) functionalized C-dots (C-dots-PEI) derived from microwave-assisted pyrolysis of glycerol in the presence of branched PEI [86].…”

“…Tian et al [90] firstly reported the utility of 13 CNMR spectroscopy in liquid state to identify the carbon states in a C-dots sample derived from candle shoot (Figure 8). Followed by this, numerous efforts have been contributed to using NMR spectroscopy in both solid state and liquid state for C-dots characterization [21,38,56,85,109,115,135,143,[159][160][161][162][163][164]. In addition, NMR has been proved to be powerful in the establishment of the 8 Journal of Nanomaterials chemical alterations that happened to the surface modifiers during carbonization.…”

“…WLEDs employing such white-emitting CDs were fabricated and used as backlights (Fig. 10) [101]. Another example of white light emitting CDs synthesized via a one-step pyrolysis of poly(acrylic acid) in the presence of glycerol has been reported by Chen et al [102], who combined them within silica-based CDs/CdS QDs hybrids easily compatible with silicone to fabricate WLEDs with CIE coordinates of (0.27, 0.32).…”
