Title: Upconversion fluorescent carbon nanodots enriched with nitrogen for light harvesting
Author(s): Wang, Chuanfu; Wu, Xia; Li, Xiangping; Wang, Wentai; Wang, Lianzhou; Gu, Min; Li, Qin
Abstract: Fluorescent nitrogen-enriched carbon nanodots (C-dots) of 1 to 3 nm were obtained through a one-pot reaction between melamine and glycerol. These C-dots show quantum yields up to 22% and a high two-photon absorption cross-section. The TiO 2 based photoanode sensitized by these C-dots is capable of converting near IR photon energy to photocurrent.
