Controlling the fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence behaviour of carbon nanodots with inorganic crystalline nanocomposites

Controlling the fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence behaviour of carbon nanodots with inorganic crystalline nanocomposites

Materials exhibiting room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with short afterglow are desirable for bio-medical applications. Here the authors synthesise a library of compounds with tunable RTP properties, embedding carbon nanodots in non-toxic alkaline-earth carbonate, sulphate and oxalate hosts.
