Enhanced Photoluminescence Properties of Carbon Dots by Doping with Europium
Abstract:
Europium (Eu) doped carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized via a rapid and simple microwave medi- ated method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a precursor, and characterized in detail. The results were that these as-prepared CDs showed a uniform and small particle size, and exhibit good pho- tostability and high photoluminescence quantum yields. Additionally, it also found that the doped Eu would change the fluorescence properties, which indicates potential applications in the field of biolabeling.
