Abstract

Carbon dots show potential in lighting and displays. However, only their fluorescence has been observed so far. Here we report the observation of phosphorescence from carbon dots in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix. The phosphorescence is attributed to C=O bonds on the surface of carbon dots and has a very long lifetime (~380 ms).
