Abstract Silane-functionalized carbon dots (SiCDs) can be exploited as effective color converting materials for the solid-state light-emitting devices. However, most of SiCDs reported thus far have shown photoluminescence emissions in the blue and green spectral range, which limit them to construct an efficient white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) due to the lack of long-wavelength emission. Herein, a series of double silane-functionalized carbon dots (DSiCDs) were prepared via a one-step solvothermal method. The results show that the organic functional group of the silane has great influence on the optical properties of DSiCDs and the number of alkoxy group in the silane has great influence on coating properties of DSiCDs. In addition, the DSiCDs prepared by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine with molar ratio of 7:3 show excellent optical properties with the maximum emission at 608 nm under 400 nm excitation. Furthermore, they can be completely dried within 1 h at room temperature to form fluorescent coating with high stability and strong adhesion to the substrate. Together with their excellent optical and coating properties, they can be directly coated on LED chips to prepare WLEDs, with a CIE coordinate of (0.33,0.31), color rendering index of 81.6, and color temperature of 5774 K.

In the last 10 years, carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from renewable organic resources have been gathered a considerable amount of attention in different fields for their peculiar photoluminescent properties. Moreover, the synthesis of CDs fully responds to the principles of the circular chemistry and the concept of safe-by-design. This review will focus on the different strategies for the incorporation of CDs in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and on the study of the impact of CDs properties on the OLEDs performance. The main current research outcomes and highlights are summarized to guide users towards the fully exploitation of use these materials in optoelectronic applications.
