Abstract:
Inspired by the formation procedures and high stability of ambers, we report herein a facile approach for the in situ creation and stabilization of carbon dots (CDs) in confined silica compartments by a solvothermal reaction and subsequent thermal treatment, and the endowed CDs exhibit the initial photoluminescence (PL) properties at 400 °C, which could be used to fabricate highly thermal-stable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that work well at a current of 600 mA and temperature of 205 °C.
