The single-step synthesis of white-light-emitting carbon dots (CDs) through a green, facile and cheap electrochemical route by using graphite rods as the carbon source is reported. Under UV excitation, the aqueous dispersion of as-synthesised CDs exhibit broad-band emission, which covers a significant fraction of the visible spectrum, owing to the heterogeneity in particle size and surface functional groups. The CDs were further explored for their potential as UV-to-visible colour convertors under remote-phosphor technology by capping a λ=365 nm UV light-emitting diode (LED) chip with CD-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate) to obtain the following colour parameters: Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates (0.35, 0.37), colour rendering index (88) and correlated colour temperature (4802 K).

Herein, we developed red solid-state fluorescent carbon dots (SSF-CDs) through a one-step solvothermal method, utilizing acetone as the carbonization solvent. Optical and structural characterization revealed that the sp domains in the core of the R-CDs were consistently interrupted and that the oxygen-containing groups on the surface were replaced by alkyl groups. This substitution mitigates excessive π-π interactions, thereby preventing quenching of fluorescence in the solid state.

We synthesized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using a solvothermal method with -phenylenediamine as the carbon and nitrogen source. The sample was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. When we continued the optical characterization of the CQDs, we were surprised to discover that the colors of the synthesized CQDs changed with the dilution of the original solution.

Article Synopsis
- Conventional methods for detecting heavy metals in water are slow and complex, highlighting the need for faster, more sensitive technologies.
- Fluorescence carbon dots (CDs) made from Blood berries have been developed to create a homemade optical detector specifically for identifying chromium ions in water, with their emission intensities varying based on concentration.
- Additionally, CDs can be incorporated into a PVDF polymer to create a flexible film that can be used as a phosphor for LED applications.

A series of Bi/Eu co-doped CaTaO (CTO:Bi/Eu) phosphors were prepared by high-temperature solid-state method for dual-emission center optical thermometers and white light-emitting diode (WLED) device. By modulating the doping ratio of Bi/Eu and utilizing the energy transfer from Bi to Eu, the tunable color emission ranging from green to reddish-orange was realized. The designed CTO:0.
