Highly Photoluminescent Carbon Dots for Multicolor Patterning, Sensors, and Bioimaging

Abstract

Shine on you crazy dots: A rapid and high-output strategy allows the fabrication of polymer-like carbon dots (CDs) with quantum yields as high as ca. 80 %. This value is the highest reported to date for fluorescent carbon-based materials, and gives promise for their application in multicolor-patterning and biosensors.
