Abstract

This is a unique example of fluorescent carbon dot-induced hydrogelation of an amino acid-based amphiphile. The carbon dot-to-amphiphile ratio dictates the gel stiffness. Moreover, this hydrogel can be used as a prominent fluorescent ink and the dried gel shows a remarkable, unusual green fluorescence in the solid state.
