Photoluminescent carbon dots based on a rare 3D inorganic–organic hybrid cadmium borate crystal
Keyword(s):
A 3D inorganic–organic hybridized skeleton cadmium borate [Cden][B5O8(OH)] (1) (en = ethylenediamine) has been solvothermally synthesized. By calcining it, specific shape carbon dots (C-dots) with abundant free radicals were observed. In addition, C-dots in the ethanol phase exhibited variable photoluminescence and showed a special effect to Cr3+/Cs+ ions and CdSe/ZnS, CsPbBr3 quantum dots.
