Recent advances in synthesis and applications of room temperature phosphorescence carbon dots

Recently, room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) feature of carbon dots (CDs) has gradually diverted researchers' attention from fluorescence and sparks new research boom due to its ultra-long luminescence lifetime and large Stokes shift. Some attempts have been made to construct CDs-based RTP materials, and had seen some important progress. However, few review articles were published to systematically summarize them. Herein, we summarize the...
