Microwave-assisted synthesis and formation mechanism of fluorescent carbon dots from starch

We report the synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) via the microwave (MW)-assisted hydrothermal treatment of starch in an aqueous phosphoric acid solution. CDs emitting blue, orange, and green fluorescence in different solvents were obtained. The fluorescence quantum yield of the CDs emitting...
