Photoluminescent nanomaterials continue to garner research attention becauseof their
many applications. For many years, researchers have focused on quantum dots (QDs) of …

A simple and facile one-pot synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots from orange waste peels
was performed using the hydrothermal carbonization method at a mild temperature (180° C) …

⁡ Carbon-dot based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with driving current controlled color
change are reported. These devices consist of a carbon-dot emissive layer sandwiched …

The coupling of surface plasmons and excitons in organic materials can improve the
performance of organic optoelectronic devices. Here, we prepare carbon-dot-supported …

Selective oxidation of alcohols is a fundamental and significant transformation for the large-
scale production of fine chemicals, UV and visible light driven photocatalytic systems for …

Carbon dots (C-dots) have been proven to show the capability for direct reduction of Ag+ to
elemental silver (Ag0) without additional reducing agent or external photoirradiation by …

A cationic branched polyelectrolyte of large molecular weight, ie, polyethylenimine (PEI) of
25,000 Da, was used as both a carbon source and a passivating agent to prepare …

To demonstrate the effects of surface atoms on photoluminescence (PL) and photocatalytic
activities of luminescent carbon dots (CDs), we design and tailor the surface groups of CDs …

Zinc oxide (ZnO)/carbon quantum dots (CQDs) heterostructure has been prepared via a sol–
gel approach combined with a spin-coating processing and the CQDs obtained by a simple …

A facile hydrothermal method was used to synthesize luminescent carbon dots from single-
walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Then 4, 7, 10-trioxa-1, 13-tridecanediamine (TTDDA) …
