Scale-Up Synthesis of Fragrant Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots from Bee Pollens fo…

Since its serendipitous discovery, [ 1,2 ] photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles (or carbon dots, CDs) have aroused intense interests and soon become a star material among a diversity of nanomaterials. [ 3 ] One of the most fascinating properties of CDs is their multicolor luminescence in the visible region. Compared to the widely used cadmium-based semiconductor quantum dots, the CDs are much …
