Facile and efficient method for constructing carbon dots(CDs)with narrow full width at half maximum(FWHM)is a major challenge in the field,and researches on regulating the FWHM of CDs are also rare and scarce.In this work,we delved into the synthesis of CDs with narrow fluorescence emission FWHM(NFEF-CDs)in the m-phenylenediamine(m-PD)/ethanol system,utilizing solid superacid resin as cata-lyst with solvothermal method.The resulting NFEF-CDs exhibit a photoluminescent(PL)emission peak at 521 nm with a narrow FWHM of 41 nm,an absolute PL quantum yield(QY)of 80%,and display excitation-independent PL behavior.Through comprehensive characterization,we identified the protonation of edge amino on NFEF-CDs as the key factor in achieving the narrow FWHM.Subsequently,we validated the broad applicability of solid superacid resins as catalysts for synthesizing CDs with narrow FWHM in the m-PD/ethanol system.Finally,we utilized a self-leveling method to prepare NFEF-CDs film on the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)substrate and investigated the solid-state fluorescence properties of NFEF-CDs as well as their performance as luminescence solar concentrator(LSC)for photovoltaic conver-sion.The results revealed that the as-prepared LSC exhibit an internal quantum efficiency(ηint)of 42.39%and an optical efficiency(ηopt)of 0.68%.These findings demonstrate the promising prospects of NFEF-CDs in the field of LSCs and provide a theoretical basis for their application in photovoltaic conversion.
