Fluorescent carbon nanomaterials have broadly useful chemical and photophysical
attributes that are conducive to applications in biology. In this review, we focus on materials …

The use of carbon dots (CDs) to construct binary donor–acceptor exciplex systems has been
shown to be an effective method for obtaining organic long persistent luminescence (OLPL) …

Afterglow materials have attracted much attention owing to their long luminescence lifetimes,
large Stokes shifts, and emission without real‐time excitation. Compared with traditional …

Biodiesel is a petroleum diesel substitute made by reacting oils and fats obtained from
plants and animals with short-chain alcohols. The most common approach to biodiesel …

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) possess outstanding photostability and interesting
