The invention discloses
red light emitting
carbon quantum dots and a household
microwave preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: dispersing
ammonium citrate in a glycerolsolvent, heating and stirring to form a solution, adding
formamide, and uniformly stirring; putting the mixture into a household
microwave oven for heating reaction, cooling to
room temperature, adding absolute ethyl
alcohol, uniformly mixing, centrifuging to obtain a precipitate, dispersing the precipitate in absolute ethyl
alcohol, filtering by a filter head to obtain preliminarily purified
carbon quantum dots, and carrying out
silica gel column chromatography for secondary purification to obtain a
red light emission carbon
quantum dot solution. The emission
wavelength of the red
quantum dot solution is 650 nm, and the
fluorescence quantum efficiency reaches 23%, the
red light emission carbon
quantum dot solution has
fluorescence excitation independent
luminescence characteristics, andis still in red
light emission state under
near ultraviolet excitation. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of operation simplicity,
environmental protection, low cost, high yield,and the like, and the obtained
carbon quantum dots are uniform in size, high in purity, stable in
fluorescence, non-toxic and
pollution-free, and have important application value in the aspects of
biomedicine and optoelectronic devices.
