N-Doping Improves Carbon Quantum Dot Optical and Sensing Properties - AZoNano

Researchers report the synthesis of nitrogen (N)-doped carbon quantum dots from biomass precursors (glucose and ammonia) with outstanding optical properties and considerable PLQY.

Although biomass-derived carbon quantum dots are sustainable nanomaterials, they have poor optical properties and low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). An article published in the journal Scien… [+7113 chars]
