Synthesis of photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles from graphite
Source abstract
Abstract
Photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 6.5 nm were synthesized from raw graphite without surface passivation. The photoluminescent (PL) emission spectra illustrate that both excitation wavelength and solution pH can significantly influence the maximum emission wavelength and PL intensity of the CNP solution. As the excitation wavelength decreases and solution pH increases, a blue shift in the maximum PL emission wavelength occurs.
