High Quantum Yield Green-Emitting Carbon Dots for Fe(ІІІ) Detection, Biocompatible Fluorescent Ink and Cellular Imaging

Abstract In the present work, we reported the luminescence of a green-emitting carbon dots (CDs) synthesized via solid state reaction method using diammonium hydrogen citrate and urea as a starting materials. The obtained green-emitting CDs shows strong absorption in the 350–450 nm region and gives...
