Photoluminescence mechanism of carbon dots: triggering high-color-purity red fluorescence emission through edge amino protonation
Open accessAbstract
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-color-purity (FWHM~24 nm) long wavelength one-photon fluorescence emission at 620 nm and NIR induced two-photon fluorescence emission at 630 and 680 nm are prepared by edge amino protonation treatment. Systematic analysis reveals that the protonation of 2,3-diaminophenazine changes the molecular state of Carbon Dots, decreases the photon transition band gap, and triggers red fluorescence emission with the dramatically narrowed peak width. As the oxidation products of reactant o-phenylendiamine, the emergence of 2,3-diaminophenazine as a photoluminescence determiner suggests that fluorophore products of precursor conversion are viable determinants of the desired luminescence properties of Carbon Dots. This work shows a new way for predicting and controlling photoluminescence properties of Carbon Dots, and may guide the development of tunable Carbon Dots for a broad range of applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
