Ultraviolet phosphorescent carbon nanodots
Ultraviolet high-energy photons of phosphorescent carbon dots for antibacterial applications. Herein, the UV phosphorescent CNDs were achieved by decreasing conjugation size and spatial confinement. As a demonstration, the CNDs are used to inactivate gram-negative/positive bacteria.

Direct demonstration of triplet excimer in purely organic room temperature phosphorescence through rational molecular design
An ideal model containing eight phenothiazine 5,5-dioxide derivatives was established to clearly prove the formation of triplet excimer. Competition between monomer (T1) and excimer (T1*) based on π-π stacking is the origin for their changed RTP properties.
