Abstract
Carbon dots (CD)-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with low cost, easy acquisition, and environmental friendliness are an emerging display technology worth further exploration. However, it is still a challenge to prepare CD-based LEDs with high performance and spectral modulation. In this study, green-emitting CDs (G-CDs) were prepared into LEDs by the traditional solution method. These G-CD-based LEDs reach maximum brightness and external quantum efficiency of 400 cd/m2 and 0.02%, respectively. By further introducing boric acid into G-CDs, yellow emitting carbon dots (Y-CDs) were successfully prepared. This additive engineering achieves spectral modulation, and the maximum brightness and external quantum efficiency are close to 2 times and 3 times that of the control device. This study shows the potential of boric acid in optimizing the performance of CD-based LEDs.
期刊介绍：
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
