«For an arbitrary body radiating and emitting thermal radiation, the ratio E / A
between the emissive spectral radiance, E, and the dimensionless absorptive ratio, A, is one and the same for all bodies at a given temperature.
The ensuing ability to achieve a controlled trade - off
between emissive and photocatalytic behavior of CDs depending on nitrogen atom positioning inside the aromatic domain is expected to bring substantial improvements on their efficiency for on - demand light emission or energy conversion applications.
