Problems solved by technology

It has been reported that fluorescent carbon dots are prepared by microwave pyrolysis of various amino acids, but there are disadvantages such as uncontrollable microwave temperature (local hot spots) and low fluorescence efficiency.
The preparation of fluorescent carbon dots by hydrothermal method not only has the advantages of uniform nucleation and controllable particle size, but in the current reports, most of the fluorescence yields of carbon particle quantum dots are not high.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of carbon quantum dots, and particularly relates to a preparation method of ultra-high quantum yield carbon quantum dots using citric acid-urea as raw materials. Background technique [0002] In recent years, since traditionally provided fluorescent dyes are easily photobleached after repeated excitations, and their fluorescence performance is weakened, semiconductor quantum dots with similar light conversion performance are increasingly used in biomarkers and scientific research materials. However, traditional semiconductor quantum dots are often heavy metal quantum dots, and their inherent shortcomings such as poor biocompatibility and easy "light blinking" phenomenon have seriously affected the expansion of their application range. In addition to these shortcomings, the inherent biological toxicity of traditional labeling substances limits the amount of addition and the quantum yield of some labeling subs...
