Abstract
Stimuli-responsive circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) materials are expected to find widespread application in advanced information technologies, such as 3D displays, multilevel encryption, and chiral optical devices. Here, using R-/S-α-phenylethylamine and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride as precursors, chiral carbon dots (Ch-CDs) exhibiting bright concentration-dependent luminescence are synthesized, demonstrating reversible responses in both their morphologies and emission spectra. By adjusting Ch-CD concentration, the switchable wavelength is extended over 180 nm (539-720 nm), with the maximum quantum efficiency reaching 100%. Meanwhile, upon increasing Ch-CD concentration, the emission wavelength red-shifts, while the chirality of the assembled nanoribbons is synchronously amplified, ultimately achieving CPL at 709 nm and a maximum luminescence asymmetry factor of 2.18 × 10-2. These values represent the longest wavelength and the largest glum reported for CDs. Considering the remarkable optical properties of the synthesized Ch-CDs, multilevel chiral logic gates are designed, and their potential practical applications are demonstrated in multilevel anti-counterfeiting encryption, flexible electronic printing, and solid-state CPL. Furthermore, deep-red chiral electroluminescence light-emitting diodes (EL-LEDs) are prepared using these Ch-CDs, achieving an external quantum efficiency of 1.98%, which is the highest value reported to date for CDs in deep-red EL-LEDs, and the first report of chiral electronic devices based on CDs.
