AlCl3-promoted growth of alkylated carbon dots with enhanced nonlinear optical response Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted increasing attention due to their wide potential applications. However, the rational design of task-specific CDs is still in its infancy. Specifically, some CDs have shown great potential as a new generation of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, but to achieve high NLO performance remains a big challenge.
