Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a fluorescent / phosphorescent dual-emission carbonized polymer dot with self-assembly properties and its preparation method, belonging to the field of new energy nanomaterials. Background Technology
[0002] Carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) not only possess the excellent optical properties of traditional carbon dots (CDs) but also exhibit polymer characteristics, forming highly cross-linked and tightly bound polymer backbone structures. Therefore, they possess advantages such as strong photoluminescence, low toxicity, good biocompatibility, abundant functional groups, and unique physicochemical properties. Fluorescence refers to the light emitted when the ground state (S0) is absorbed by ultraviolet and visible light, transitions to the lowest singlet state (S1), and then re-radiates back to S0. Phosphorescence, on the other hand, refers to long-lived emitting materials that continue to emit light even after the excitation light is turned off. This occurs when the generated excitons first enter S1 from S0, then enter the lowest triplet state (T1) through an intersystematic crossover (ISC) process, and finally return to S0, generating light through a radiative transition. Therefore, carbonized polymer dots exhibiting both fluorescence and phosphorescence emission have attracted widespread attention from researchers.
[0003] Self-assembly refers to the spontaneous formation of unique structures through intermolecular forces, resulting in oriented and ordered structures from individual molecules. It can be achieved through photo-induced and chemically-induced methods, by chemically modifying carbonized polymer dots to impart different functions such as luminescence and adsorption. Therefore, self-assembled carbonized polymer dots have enormous application potential in optoelectronic devices, bioimaging, data encryption, and advanced dynamic anti-counterfeiting.
