TL;DR: CPDs are revealed as an emerging class of CDs with distinctive polymer/carbon hybrid structures and properties, and critical insights into facilitating their potential in various application fields are proposed.

TL;DR: A large amount of emerging research on carbon dots (CDs) has been gradually improving the understanding of their structures, properties and emission mechanism as mentioned in this paper, and a new concept, polymer carbon dots, is put forward to generalize all kinds of CDs based on the summary of related reports.

TL;DR: In this work, enlightened by the principle of soap-free emulsion polymerization, CPDs with ultrahigh yields (ca. 85 %) were obtained by hydrothermal addition polymerization and carbonization (HAPC) of monomers, uncovering an unprecedented strategy for regulating the size of C PDs.

TL;DR: Ultrahigh-yield acrylamide-based N-doped carbonized polymer dots (AN-CPDs) with ultralong RTP lifetime are synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal addition polymerization and carbonization strategy and proved that RTP can be attributed to the polymer/carbon hybrid structure and nitrous functional groups as the molecular state related emission centers.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of confined-domain CEE on the structure and luminescence properties of carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) have been systematically investigated by combining characterizations and theoretical calculations.
