Liquid silicon‐based carbon dots (CDs) with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 50% were prepared using N‐[3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (DAMO), citric acid, and n‐butylamine as raw materials. Firstly, the optimized characters have been determined, namely, the optimal DAMO, citric acid, and n‐butylamine addition amounts of 1 mL, 0.9 g, and 1 mL, a reaction time of 3 h, and a reaction temperature of 160°C. Further research has confirmed that the increase in fluorescence intensity of CDs is mainly due to the introduction of DAMO, in which the two amino groups in DAMO play a major role. In addition, the Si‐O‐Si group generated by the hydrolysis of siloxane groups is connected to the surface of the CDs and forms a core–shell structure, which modifies the defects on the surface and enhances the fluorescence intensity of the CDs. Finally, luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) based on liquid silicon‐based CDs were assembled by spin coating. The obtained device has a transparency of up to 80% and an optical efficiency of 2.4%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new design concept of being human-centered and emphasizing the organic construction of the ecological environment is progressively gaining popularity because of the growing influence of ecology, green building, and environmental protection theories. By examining the landscape architecture of colleges and universities, this study aims to investigate the principles of ecological and environmental protection and to advance the development of the ecological environment on campus. As a result, this study uses Jilin Communications Polytechnic as an example to discuss the state of the research on campus landscape design in Jilin province and its significance, examines the process of campus landscape design under the concept of ecological and environmental protection after introducing the study object, assessment indexes, and constituent aspects of campus landscape design. The findings indicate that the ecological protection concept-based landscape design mode exhibits the vitality of ecological landscape design, produces significant ecological benefits for university campuses, and significantly enhances the ecological environment of university campuses. This paper reconstructs the gradually disappearing natural landscape system of the university campus, effectively promotes the healthy development of university campus ecology, emphasizes the ecological design with inherent cultural connotation and esthetic significance, and fully demonstrates the vitality of ecological landscape design, thus creating great ecological benefits for a university campus, effectively improving the ecological environment of university campus, and providing reference for further research on campus landscape design of Jilin province under the concept of ecological environmental protection.
