Ethanol-Precipitation-Assisted Highly Efficient Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots from Chitosan.
ACS omega(2019)
摘要
Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) were prepared from chitosan through a hydrothermal reaction. When ethanol precipitation was used as the purification method, a high product yield of 85.3% was obtained. A strong blue fluorescence emission with a high quantum yield (QY) of 6.6% was observed from the NCQD aqueous solution. Physical and chemical characteristics of the NCQDs were carefully investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), Raman spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transient fluorescence spectra. Experimental results showed that diameters of the NCQDs were in the range of 2-10 nm. The carbon quantum dots possess good water dispersibility and precipitation by ethanol. When used for metal ion detection, the detection limit of the NCQDs for Fe3+ was as low as 1.57 μM. This work proposed a facile method to synthesize NCQDs from chitosan with high yield and demonstrated that carbon quantum dots derived from chitosan were promising for ion detection.
