Investigating the effect of N-doping on carbon quantum dots structure, optical properties and metal ion screening

Abstract Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) derived from biomass, a suggested green approach for nanomaterial synthesis, often possess poor optical properties and have low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). This study employed an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, continuous hydrothermal flow sy...
