Luminescent carbon dots in a new magnesium aluminophosphate zeolite

Abstract

A new magnesium aluminophosphate JU92-300 with novel zeotype structure and 8-ring channels has been prepared by calcination of microporous JU-92 under 300 °C. Well dispersed C-dots are prepared by using JU92-300 as a support host. Such C-dots@zeolite materials exhibit excitation-dependent photoluminescent behavior, as well as tunable fluorescence with high quantum yields.
