Long lifetime pure organic phosphorescence based on water soluble carbon dots

Abstract

Carbon dots show potential in lighting and displays. However, only their fluorescence has been observed so far. Here we report the observation of phosphorescence from carbon dots in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix. The phosphorescence is attributed to C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bonds on the surface of carbon dots and has a very long lifetime (∼380 ms).
