Green Preparation of Fluorescent Carbon Quantum Dots from Cyanobacteria for Biological Imaging

Biomass-based carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have become a significant carbon materials by their virtues of being cost-effective, easy to fabricate and low in environmental impact. However, there are few reports regarding using cyanobacteria as a carbon source for the synthesis of fluorescent CQDs. In t...
