室温磷光碳点应用前景广阔,但其三重态易被氧气、水分淬灭,应用受限。二氧化硅基质凭借刚性结构及表面可修饰性,为碳点提供稳定磷光平台,实现固态强磷光与水相分散性的统一。本文综述其设计策略与发光机制,重点介绍其在动态防伪、传感、时间门控成像及指纹识别中的集成应用。尽管效率与生物相容性仍存挑战,但与时间门控检测、多模态成像策略结合,正推动分析化学向智能化、便携化与诊疗一体化发展。

Room-temperature phosphorescent carbon dots (RTP-CDs) represent an emerging class of luminescent nanomaterials with vast potential in analytical science. However, their practical application is often limited by the susceptibility of triplet excitons to quenching by molecular oxygen, moisture, and other environmental factors, which typically restricts strong phosphorescence to rigid or deoxygenated matrices. To address this critical issue, silica matrices have been identified as an ideal host material. Their inherent rigid structure, excellent chemical stability, and highly tailorable surface properties provide an effective protective confinement for CDs. This rigid confinement effectively suppresses molecular vibrations and blocks the diffusion of quenchers, thereby significantly prolonging the lifetime of the phosphorescence. This confinement not only shields the triplet states from non-radiative decay pathways but also promotes efficient intersystem crossing and stable phosphorescence emission. Consequently, silica confinement successfully bridges the gap, enabling both intense solid-state phosphorescence and good dispersibility in aqueous environments. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in silica-confined CD-based RTP materials. It begins by systematically elucidating the fundamental design strategies, including in-situ synthesis, post-embedding, and surface functionalization methods, alongside the underlying photophysical mechanisms responsible for the enhanced and stabilized RTP. This unique combination of properties unlocks a wide spectrum of advanced analytical applications. The core of the article focuses on their innovative integrated applications, demonstrating their utility in dynamic anti-counterfeiting with multi-level encryption, highly selective sensing of ions and small molecules, time-gated bioimaging for enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, and high-contrast fingerprint recognition for forensic science. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in quantum yields, achieving target-specific selectivity, and ensuring long-term biocompatibility. Future development is directed towards the strategic convergence of these materials with advanced analytical paradigms, such as time-gated detection systems, ratiometric and multi-channel signaling, and multimodal imaging platforms. This synergistic integration is actively driving the field of analytical chemistry toward smarter, more portable devices and integrated theranostic systems, opening new frontiers for precise detection and visualization.
