Green Synthesis of Nitrogen–Doped Carbon Dots from Fresh Tea Leaves for Selective Fe<sup>3+</sup> Ions Detection and Cellular Imaging

In this research, we successfully developed a green, economical and effective one–step hydrothermal method for the synthesis of fluorescent nitrogen–doped carbon dots (N–CDs) by utilizing fresh tea leaves and urea as the carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The obtained N–CDs were characterize...
