Achieving Matrix-Free Self-Protective Room-Temperature Phosphorescence from Polymer-Derived Carbon Dots for Optical Applications
Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) carbon dots (CDs) are highly promising for optoelectronic applications but typically rely on external matrices to achieve high efficiency and long-lived emission. Herein, we address this limitation by designing matrix-free self-protected RTP CDs (CDsT) via one-step hydrothermal...
