Reversible Aggregation of Molecular-Like Fluorophores Driven by Extreme pH in Carbon Dots

The origin of carbon-dots (C-dots) fluorescence and its correlation with the dots structure still lack a comprehensive model. In particular, the core-shell model does not always fit with the experimental results, which, in some cases, suggest a molecular origin of the fluorescence. To gain a better...
