- Abstract
Designing efficient room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) carbon dots (C‐dots) without the need of an additional matrix is important for various applications. Herein, matrix‐free and highly efficient C‐dots with yellow‐green RTP emission have been successfully synthesized towards information encryption and decryption. Phytic acid (PA) and triethylenetetramine are used as molecular precursors, and a facile microwave‐assisted heating method is selected as synthesis method. The obtained C‐dots exhibit a maximum phosphorescence emission at around 535 nm under an excitation wavelength of 365 nm and a long average lifetime up to 750 ms (more than 9 s to the naked eye). PA containing six phosphate groups and serving as P source plays a significant role in producing the RTP C‐dots. Furthermore, potential applications of the RTP C‐dots in the field of information encryption and decryption are successfully demonstrated.
