A facile, economical and green one-step hydrothermal method for N-doped CDs was presented by using citric acid as carbon source and urea as nitrogen source. The fluorescence of N-doped CDs quenched dramatically from curcumin via inner filter effect.
In this work, a facile one-step hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) using pork liver. The quantum yield of the prepared N-CDs was as high as...
