Carbon dots-based nanoparticles with room-temperature long afterglow in aqueous solution
In this work, nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. These NCDs were subsequently incorporated into silica nanoparticles using a sol-gel process, yielding CDs-based room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials. Structural characterization revealed that the hydrogen-bonding network and covalent bonds within the composite effectively shield the triplet excitons from quenching. Additionally, the abundant surface silanol groups endow the composite nanoparticles with excellent water solubility. This synergistic effect enables the material to exhibit an ultra-long phosphorescence lifetime of 2.63 s (more than 29 s to the naked eye) in aqueous solution. Our work offers a viable strategy for developing long-lived aqueous RTP carbon dot materials.
