Scale-Up Synthesis of Fragrant Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots from Bee Pollens for Bioimaging and Catalysis
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 less toxic and exhibit tunable emissions upon varied excitation. Classifi ed by the starting carbon sources, there are three dominant approaches for the preparation of emissive CDs, including acidizing carbon materials, [ 4 ] carbonizing natural bioresources, [ 5 ] and thermal condensation then carbonization of small organic molecules. [ 6 ] The main drawback of the fi rst approach lies in its complicated procedures including the usage of strong acid, dialysis, and surface passivation. The other two approaches are essentially alike,
both feasible for one-pot synthesis without additional surface functionalization, while the number of biomass is much more diverse in species than that of small molecules utilized.
