Large-Scale Green Synthesis of Fluorescent Carbon Nanodots and Their Use in O…

An easy and green synthetic strategy for the one-pot large-scale preparation of carbon nanodots (C-dots) is demonstrated. The C-dots have a series of excellent optical features such as strong fl uorescence and excitationwavelength-dependent photoluminescence properties. Notably, C-dots can be rapidly and facilely achieved on a large scale (e.g., 0.3 g C-dots/25 min)by using cheap, accessible, a…
