Recently, the research team led by XJTU professor He Ling from the School of Science developed white-light-emitting GQD-MF (Melamine Formaldehyde) polymer microspheres. The luminescent properties of grapheme quantum dots were regulated by the controlled aggregation of cationic MF prepolymer and GQD. The research team prepared highly efficient, solid-state white-light-emitting materials with high luminous efficacy, variable colors, and high thermal and optical stability. The white-light-emitting microspheres, with the average particle size of 2.0 ±0.08 μm, the CIE coordinates in the range of (0.28,0.28) to (0.33, 0.32) and quantum yields from 83% to 43%, have been successfully applied in the fields of light-emitting diode (LED).

The research result was published online in Advanced Science(IF=12.441), under the title White-Light-Emitting Melamine-Formaldehyde Microspheres through Polymer-Mediated Aggregation and Encapsulation of Graphene Quantum Dots. Doctor Wu Youshen, a young teacher from the School of Science, is the first author.
