Nonhazardous and value-added utilization of biomass tar remains a great challenge in biomass gasification development. Herein, both model compounds and real biomass tar were for the first time tested as the carbon source for carbon quantum dots, where the resultants demonstrated excellent monodispersibility and strong fluorescence, quantum efficiency up to 53% and 43% were achieved. Moreover, the real tar-derived CQDs further revealed as a highly selective and sensitive probe for Fe[Formula: see text], indicating its great potential ion sensing. It is expected that this work would open up a new strategy for biomass tar valorization.

Carbon quantum dots/block copolymer/bovine serum albumin nanoensembles for metal ion sensing and bioimaging.


A green and simple synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was derived from dried mint leaves by hydrothermal method. Crystalline structure of the synthesized CQDs was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The morphological properties of the CQDs were investigated with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The optical behaviors of the CQDs were examined with fourier transfom infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence spectrophotometer techniques. Crystalline structure of the CQDs was found as amorphous in nature and the average diameter of the CDs was calculated as 8.13 nm from TEM study. According to the fluorescence emission spectra of the samples, synthesized CQDs was sensitive to mainly Ag(I), Cr(III) and Fe(III) ions. Especially, Ag(I) was the most sensible compared to other metal ions. Quenching effect of the CQDs was also evaluated by using ascorbic acid to metal ions added CQDs samples. Ascorbic acid showed the quenching effect for all the metal ion added samples except Sn(II) ion.
