▎ 摘  要

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are quasi-zero-dimensional, I carbon-based luminescent nanomaterials that possess desirable physical properties, such as high photostability, low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, , and excellent water solubility; however, their long radiative lifetimes significantly limit their use in, e.g., light emitting devices where a fast spontaneous emission rate is essential. Despite a few reports on GQD fluorescence enhancements using metal nanostructures, studies of enhanced spontaneous emission rate remain outstanding. Here, we report fast and bright luminescence by coupling gap plasmon modes to nanoparticle emitters. Through precise control over the nanoparticle's local density of states (LDOS), we achieved a 220-fold increase in the PL intensity. The shortest radiative lifetime obtained was below 8.0 ps and limited by the instrument response, which is over 288-fold shorter than the lifetime of uncoupled GQDs. These findings may benefit the future development of rapid displays and open the possibility of constructing high-frequency classical or quantum telecommunication systems.
