Siyu Lu is a professor of the College of Chemistry, Zhengzhou
University. He received his Ph.D. degree in polymer physics and
chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Bai Yang at Jilin University.
His research interests relate to the design, preparation, properties of
photoelectric nanocrystals (carbon dots, semiconductors, etc.) and their
applications in catalysis and fluorescence.
Contents:
Carbon dots (CDs) has excellent photoluminescence properties.
Aggregation plays an important role in both the formation of CDs and
their fluorescence, yet is seldom studied in detail. This review aims to
fill this knowledge gap. We first discuss how aggregation leads to the
formation of different types of CDs, and the impact on morphology,
luminescence and applications.
