A Simple Approach for Synthesizing of Fluorescent Carbon Quantum Dots from Tofu Wastewater

Abstract We present an investigation on carbon quantum dots (CQDs) synthesized from wastewater induced during the production of tofu. We find that tofu wastewater is a good source of raw material in making fluorescent CQDs. The corresponding CQDs can be fabricated simply via hydrothermal reaction to...
