Bright white light emission (CIE values 0.32 and 0.33) has been achieved by a single excitation source (254 nm) from a monodispersed nanocomposite composed of Ce3+, Tb3+ and Sm3+ doped LaF3 nanocrystals (NCs) and N-doped C-dots where Ce3+ acts as an excellent sensitizer. Controlled deposition of the C-dots onto the surface of the LaF3 NCs impedes conventional aggregation induced quenching (AIQ) of the C-dots in solid state. The transparent colloidal ink was coated onto an UV chip to fabricate a white light emitting diode (WLED) with a luminous efficacy of 8.72 lm W-1.
