One-pot evaporation–condensation strategy for green synthesis of carbon nitride quantum dots: An efficient fluorescent probe for ion detection and bioimaging
Ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets and fluorescent g-C3N4 quantum dots are simultaneously prepared via one-pot ethanol-thermal treatment in the presence of KOH.
Green-emitting carbon quantum dots (G-CQDs) were prepared using tartaric acid and bran by one-pot solvothermal treatment and had photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QY) as high as 46%.
