What is it about?
We observed a wide range of tunable visible to NIR emissions with good stability from the C-QD colloids at different applied excitation wavelengths. The colloids show dual emissions with maxima at ∼420 and 775 nm (blue and NIR emissions) when excited at the wavelength range near the energy gaps of the C-QDs.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that carbon dots have wavelength tunability in the visible to near-infrared region.
