A green-synthesized phosphorescent carbon dot composite for multilevel anti-counterfeiting.

ABSTRACT: Room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials are rising and gaining considerable attention due to their special photo-capture-release ability. Herein, a kind of environmentally friendly RTP composite was devised by microwaving a mixture of carbon dots, boric acid, and urea, in the presence of covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds between each of the components. The resultant RTP material showed ultra-long phosphorescence lifetime up to 1005.6 ms with an outstanding afterglow as long as 9.0 s. Moreover, this afterglow feature with moisture sensitive behavior was explored to achieve multilevel anti-counterfeiting, with the function of complex decryption of encrypted secret information under multiple stimuli. Our results provide a green strategy for scalable synthesis of carbon-based RTP materials, and extend their application scope to high level information security.

Rapid and Green Fabrication of Carbon Dots for Cellular Imaging and Anti-Counterfeiting Applications.

Project description:Carbon dots (CDs) with plenty of favorable properties have been extensively investigated in diverse areas including bioimaging, biomedicine, sensor, energy storage, anti-counterfeiting, photocatalysis, and optoelectronic devices. Herein, a simple, rapid, and green sonochemical-assisted method for fabricating nitrogen-doped CDs has been developed. In this approach, the nitrogen-doped CDs can be obtained through irradiation by intensive ultrasonic waves from ultrasonic probes in 30 min. The achieved CDs exhibit excellent water dispersibility, which can be ascribed to their high functionalization. Importantly, the CDs also demonstrate remarkable fluorescent properties, high photostability, and low cytotoxicity, which can be utilized for multicolor cellular imaging and anti-counterfeiting applications. As far as we know, the sonochemical-assisted method for rapidly synthesizing nitrogen-doped CDs from gelatin has never been reported before. Significantly, the sonochemical-assisted approach to rapidly fabricate CDs is versatile for the facile construction of fluorescent CDs, and the obtained CDs can be potentially used in various areas including bioimaging and anti-counterfeiting.

Fabricated Flexible Composite for a UV-LED Color Filter and Anti-Counterfeiting Application of Calcium Molybdate Phosphor Synthesized at Room Temperature.

Project description:Crystalline CaMoO4 and rare-earth-doped CaMoO4:RE3+ (RE = Tb, Eu) phosphors were synthesized at room temperature using a co-precipitation method. The crystal structure of the synthesized powder was a tetragonal structure with a main diffraction peak (112) phase. When CaMoO4 was excited at 295 nm, it showed a central peak of 498 nm and light emission in a wide range of 420 to 700 nm. Rare-earth-ion-doped CaMoO4:Tb3+ was excited at 288 nm and a green light emission was observed at 544 nm, and CaMoO4:Eu3+ was excited at 292 nm and a red light emission was observed at 613 nm. To take advantage of the light-emitting characteristics, a flexible composite was manufactured and a color filter that could be used for UV-LEDs was manufactured. In addition, it was suggested that an ink that could be checked only by UV light could be produced and applied to banknotes so as to prevent counterfeiting.

Inkjet-printed unclonable quantum dot fluorescent anti-counterfeiting labels with artificial intelligence authentication.

Project description:An ideal anti-counterfeiting technique has to be inexpensive, mass-producible, nondestructive, unclonable and convenient for authentication. Although many anti-counterfeiting technologies have been developed, very few of them fulfill all the above requirements. Here we report a non-destructive, inkjet-printable, artificial intelligence (AI)-decodable and unclonable security label. The stochastic pinning points at the three-phase contact line of the ink droplets is crucial for the successful inkjet printing of the unclonable security labels. Upon the solvent evaporation, the three-phase contact lines are pinned around the pinning points, where the quantum dots in the ink droplets deposited on, forming physically unclonable flower-like patterns. By utilizing the RGB emission quantum dots, full-color fluorescence security labels can be produced. A convenient and reliable AI-based authentication strategy is developed, allowing for the fast authentication of the covert, unclonable flower-like dot patterns with different sharpness, brightness, rotations, amplifications and the mixture of these parameters.

Green Synthesis of Phosphorescent Carbon Dots for Anticounterfeiting and Information Encryption.

Project description:Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) carbon dots (CDs) have promising applications in bioimaging, anticounterfeiting, and information encryption owing to their long lifetimes and wide Stokes shifts. Numerous researchers are interested in developing highly bright RTP CDs using environmentally friendly and safe synthesis processes (e.g., natural raw materials and zero-pollution production pathways). In this study, we successfully synthesized RTP CDs using a hydrothermal process employing natural vitamins as a raw material, ethylenediamine as a passivator, and boric acid as a phosphorescent enhancer, which is referred to as phosphorescent CD (PCD). The PCDs exhibit both bright blue fluorescence emission and green RTP emission, with a phosphorescence lifetime as long as 293 ms and an excellent green afterglow visible to the naked eye for up to 7.0 s. The total quantum yield is 12.69%. The phosphorescence quantum yield (PQY) is up to 5.15%. Based on the RTP performance, PCDs have been successfully employed for anticounterfeiting and information protection applications. The results of this study provide a green strategy for the scalable synthesis of RTP materials, which is a practical method for the fabrication of RTP materials with high efficiency and long afterglow lifetimes.

Binary temporal upconversion codes of Mn<sup>2+</sup>-activated nanoparticles for multilevel anti-counterfeiting.

Project description:Optical characteristics of luminescent materials, such as emission profile and lifetime, play an important role in their applications in optical data storage, document security, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles are particularly suitable for such applications due to their inherent optical properties, including large anti-Stokes shift, distinguishable spectroscopic fingerprint, and long luminescence lifetime. However, conventional upconversion nanoparticles have a limited capacity for information storage or complexity to prevent counterfeiting. Here, we demonstrate that integration of long-lived Mn2+ upconversion emission and relatively short-lived lanthanide upconversion emission in a particulate platform allows the generation of binary temporal codes for efficient data encoding. Precise control of the particle's structure allows the excitation feasible both under 980 and 808 nm irradiation. We find that the as-prepared Mn2+-doped nanoparticles are especially useful for multilevel anti-counterfeiting with high-throughput rate of authentication and without the need for complex time-gated decoding instrumentation.Luminescent materials that are capable of binary temporal coding are desirable for multilevel anti-counterfeiting. Here, the authors engineer nanoparticles that produce binary color codes on different timescales by combining the long-lived luminescence of Mn2+ with the relatively short-lived emission of lanthanides.

Simultaneously achieving high capacity storage and multilevel anti-counterfeiting using electrochromic and electrofluorochromic dual-functional AIE polymers.

Project description:With the advent of the big data era, information storage and security are becoming increasingly important. However, high capacity information storage and multilevel anti-counterfeiting are typically difficult to achieve simultaneously. To address this challenge, herein, two electrochromic and electrofluorochromic dual-functional polymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics were rationally designed and facilely prepared. Upon applying voltages, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the AIE polymers can undergo reversible changes, accompanied by variation of their color and emission. By utilizing the controllable characteristics of the polymers, dual-mode display devices were fabricated via a simple spraying technique. More interestingly, a four-dimensional color code device was constructed by adding color change multiplexing to the two-dimensional space, thereby achieving high capacity information storage. Moreover, the color code device can also be applied in the multilevel anti-counterfeiting area. The encrypted information can be dynamically converted under different voltages. Thus, the AIE polymers show great promise for applications in multidimensional information storage and dynamic anti-counterfeiting, and the design strategy may provide a new avenue for advanced information storage and high security technology.

Hierarchical Lignin-Based Carbon Matrix and Carbon Dot Composite Electrodes for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:This work adopts an efficient chemical-wet method to build a three-dimensional (3D) carbon composite as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors (SCs). Carbon dots (CDs), prepared by thermal pyrolysis of citric acid and urea under microwaves at 280 °C, are homogeneously coated onto lignin-based activated carbons (ACs), thus forming the 3D composites possessing an interior surface decorated with CD binding sites. Benefiting from the hydrophilicity and ultrafine size of CDs, the affinity of the electrode surface toward aqueous electrolytes is significantly improved with the addition of CDs, leading to the enhanced effective surface area (i.e., abundant electroactive sites) and a decreased ionic diffusion path. The capacitance of the SCs is improved from 125.8 to 301.7 F g-1 with CD addition. The SC with CD addition possesses improved cycle stability with a coulombic efficiency around 100% after 3000 cycles. After cycling, the ion diffusion coefficient of the CD@AC-11 electrode is enhanced by 25.5 times as compared to that of the pristine AC one. This unique and robust carbon framework can be utilized for engineering the desired pore structure and micropore/mesopore fraction within the AC electrodes. This strategy of CD@AC electrodes demonstrates a promising route for using renewable porous carbon materials in advanced energy-storage devices.

Porous carbon-carbon composite electrodes for vanadium redox flow batteries synthesized by twin polymerization.

Project description:Highly porous carbon-carbon composite electrodes have been synthesized by surface twin polymerization on a macroporous polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based substrate. For this purpose the compound 2,2'-spirobi[benzo-4H-1,3,2-dioxasiline] (Spiro), being a molecular precursor for phenolic resin and silica, was polymerized onto PAN-based felts with subsequent thermal transformation of the hybrid material-coated felt into silica-containing carbon. The following etching step led to high surface carbon-carbon composite materials, where each carbon component served a different function in the battery electrode: the carbon fiber substrate possesses a high electron conductivity, while the amorphous carbon coating provides the catalytic function. For characterization of the composite materials with respect to structure, porosity and pore size distribution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as nitrogen sorption measurements (BET) were performed. The electrochemical performance of the carbon felts (CF) for application in all-vanadium redox flow batteries was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Compared to the pristine PAN-based felt the composite electrodes show significantly enhanced surface areas (up to 35 times higher), which increases the amount of vanadium ions that could be adsorbed onto the surface and thus contributes to an increased performance.

Ultraviolet phosphorescent carbon nanodots.

Project description:Phosphorescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) have generated enormous interest recently, and the CND phosphorescence is usually located in the visible region, while ultraviolet (UV) phosphorescent CNDs have not been reported thus far. Herein, the UV phosphorescence of CNDs was achieved by decreasing conjugation size and in-situ spatial confinement in a NaCNO crystal. The electron transition from the px to the sp2 orbit of the N atoms within the CNDs can generate one-unit orbital angular momentum, providing a driving force for the triplet excitons population of the CNDs. The confinement caused by the NaCNO crystal reduces the energy dissipation paths of the generated triplet excitons. By further tailoring the size of the CNDs, the phosphorescence wavelength can be tuned to 348 nm, and the room temperature lifetime of the CNDs can reach 15.8 ms. As a demonstration, the UV phosphorescent CNDs were used for inactivating gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria through the emission of their high-energy photons over a long duration, and the resulting antibacterial efficiency reached over 99.9%. This work provides a rational design strategy for UV phosphorescent CNDs and demonstrates their novel antibacterial applications.
