Abstract

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots synthesized from citric acid as a carbon precursor have recently been considered to contain fluorescent derivatives of citrazinic acid, which contribute to their emission in the blue spectral range. To study the impact of such molecular fluorescent species on the optical properties of carbon dots, we synthesized three samples employing citric acid and three different nitrogen sources: ethylenediamine, hexamethylenetetramine, and triethanolamine. On the basis of the analysis of the nitrogen content and its coordination by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FTIR spectra, and systematically comparing absorption, steady-state emission, and photoluminescence decays of each kind of carbon dot, we derive the influence of the molecular precursors and gain further understanding of the complex structure of carbon dots highlighting the strong impact of molecular fluorescence in the samples produced with ethylenediamine and hexamethylenetetramine.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
