This is more demanding in carbon dots (CDs) with diverse applications that usually emit photons at wavelengths around 450-620 nm. In this study, deep blue-emissive doped-CDs (d-CDs) with high photoluminescence (PL) QE up to 62% and excitation-independent properties were prepared via a short-time microwave irradiation method. The prepared CDs showed simultaneous amorphous and crystalline features, with average sizes of 4.75 nm and bright emission color located at 422 nm. It was found that the presence of sulfur-related dopant levels plays a key role in emission properties in such a way that the PL signal drops significantly in the absence of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) as a dopant source. On the other hand, the trisodium citrate dihydrate (TSC) was selected as a carbon source to form the main carbon skeleton without it no emission was recorded. Monoexponential-fitted recombination trend with an average lifetime of about 10 ns also confirmed excellent PL emission properties with uniform energy levels and minimized defect-contributing recombinations. The practical use of the as-prepared N, S-doped CDs was assessed in fingerprint detection indicating a bright and clear scheme for both core and termination regions of the fingerprint. Simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high-product yield, low toxicity, along with high/stable PL quantum efficiency in deep-blue wavelengths, and demonstrated ability for fingerprint purposes, support the prospective application of these dual doped-CDs for sensing and bioimaging applications.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Designed Optimization of Photoluminescence Emission for Carbon Dots With Bright Blue Emission at 416 NM and Mono-Exponential Decay Lifetime(Elsevier, 2025-09) Ruwaih, Mohammed Abbas; Soheyli, Ehsan; Naji, Jalil; Mutlugun, Evren; Kikhavani, Tavan; Sahraei, Reza; Abbas Ruwaih, MohammedThe presented study introduces optimized blue-emissive carbon dots (CDs) with high photoluminescence efficiency up to 65 % at 416 nm, large Stokes shift (69 nm), and full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 73 nm. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of carbon-based bonds as the main component of CDs, with reliable amounts of O, S, and N as dopant components. These features, along with single-exponential time-decay profile at long average lifetime of 10.05 ns, supported the significant role of uniformly distributed mid-gap energy levels in the recombination process. The simplicity, low-cost, non-toxicity, and short reaction time of CDs, along with their excellent emission properties in the deep-blue region, make them suitable for use in environmental monitoring and high-contrast bioimaging.
