We discovered novel water-soluble carbon dots from aqueous extracts of Cirsium setosum Carbonisata, which have a remarkable hemostatic effect. The study provides evidence to support the further investigation of considerable potential of carbon dots.
Two kinds of novel water-soluble carbon dots (CD-A and CD-B) were synthesized from 4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) derivatives, and their abilities for sensing pH under extremely acidic conditions were studied.
Water soluble carbon quantum dots were synthesized from lemon peel waste and were used for Cr6+ detection and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye.
