Plant leaf-derived fluorescent carbon dots for sensing, patterning and coding
Abstract
We report a simple, low-cost and green route for fabrication of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs), and demonstrate their applications in sensing, patterning, and coding. Pyrolysis of various plant leaves yielded bright blue-emitting CDs, providing a one-step way for large-scale production of CDs without surface passivation treatment or the use of toxic/expensive solvents and starting materials. Also, further improvement in the fluorescence intensity of CDs was achieved after treatment using plasma and microwave-assisted techniques. The obtained CDs were applied as a fluorescent sensing platform for sensitive and selective detection of Fe3+ ions, and as fluorescent inks for printing luminescent patterns useful in anti-counterfeit and optoelectronic applications. Moreover, uniform fluorescent microbeads of polymer-encapsulated CDs, CD/QD nanocomposites, and CD/organic fluorescent dye nanocomposites were prepared via a microfluidic process, which may expand the potential applications of CDs in coding, bioimaging, and drug delivery.

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.
