Gram-Scale Synthesis of 41% Efficient Single-Component White-Light-Emissive Carbonized Polymer Dots with Hybrid Fluorescence/Phosphorescence for White Light-Emitting Diodes.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) are compelling optical emitters to construct white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, it remains a challenge to achieve large-scale and highly efficient single-component white-light-emissive CDs suitable for WLED applications. Herein, a low cost, fast processable, environmentally friendly, and one-step synthetic approach is developed for the preparation of gram-scale and highly efficient single-component white-light-emissive carbonized polymer dots (SW-CPDs). It is revealed that hybrid fluorescence/phosphorescence components cooperatively contribute to the emergence of white light emission. The SW-CPDs exhibit a record quantum yield (QY) of ≈41% for the white light emission observed in solid-state CD systems, while the QY of the phosphorescence is ≈23% un
