This research aims to develop a new method for synthesizing fluorescent carbon dots using marine spirulina as a biocompatible source.
Synthesized carbon dots using protein-rich marine spirulina as a precursor.
Evaluated quantum yield and fluorescence properties of the carbon dots.
Compared the performance of these biosynthesized carbon dots to traditional commercial methods.
Achieved a high quantum yield in carbon dots synthesized from marine spirulina.
Demonstrated excellent fluorescent properties suitable for yarn applications.
Revealed the potential of using biomass over commercial chemicals for sustainable carbon dot production.
Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are fluorescent carbon nanomaterials that can be widely used in multiple areas as an optical functional material. Compared to commercial chemicals used to synthesize CDs, biomass offers...
