The invention discloses a method for preparing fluorescent carbon dots by pyrolyzing
ammonium carboxylate .The method includes the following steps that 1, polycarboxylic acid is dissolved in deionized water,
ultrasonic oscillation is carried out,
diamine is added for a reaction under
nitrogen protection, a
reaction product is washed with
petroleum ether after the reaction is complete, an aqueous layer is separated out, reduced-pressure rotary
evaporation is carried out to remove unreacted
diamine, and a yellow
solid is obtained; 2, the yellow
solid is put into a
tube furnace and heated under
nitrogen protection,
grinding is carried out after heat preservation, and black
powder is obtained; 3, the black
powder is dissolved in absolute ethyl
alcohol,
dialysis is carried out with a
dialysis bag, a solution outside the
dialysis bag is subjected to rotary
evaporation, and the fluorescent carbon dots are obtained .The preparation method is easy to implement, raw materials are easy to get, cost is low, no environmental
pollutant is released in the preparation process, and the preparation method is an environment-friendly preparation technology; the mean grain size of the fluorescent carbon dots prepared with the method is 11 nm, water
solubility is good,
fluorescence is stable, the
fluorescence quantum yield reaches 22.46%, and the fluorescent carbon dots can be applied to Fe3+ detection.
