Water-resistant multi-color circularly polarized afterglow from carbon dots via in situ constructing hydrogen bonding networks and light-harvesting

Abstract

Multi-color and white carbon dot-based circularly polarized afterglow materials with outstanding water resistance have been achieved via incorporating chiral precursors and dye molecules into melamine to generate carbon dots in situ, construct hydrogen bonding networks in situ, and construct light-harvesting systems in situ.
