研究目的
Investigating the mechanism of complex photoluminescence in carbon dots (CNDs) through pH dependent steady state and time resolved spectroscopy study.
研究成果
A two-state model of protonated and deprotonated excited states provides new insights into the CNDs photoluminescence. The pH dependence of CNDs photoluminescence originates from the protonation-deprotonation of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, often in the excited state. The study also shows a proof of principle of tunable amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from CNDs, indicating potential for future lasing applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to CNDs synthesized from PDB and may not generalize to all CNDs systems. Future research is needed to explore the photoluminescence process in more complex systems.
