Ultralong lifetime and efficient room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots through multi-confinement structure design

For room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials to reach their potential for optical applications, new materials with improved performance must be realized. Here, the authors report multi-confined carbon dots as high stability RTP materials with long afterglow lifetime & high efficiency.
