The invention discloses a method for macroscopically preparing
solid-state fluorescent carbon dots and the
solid-state fluorescent carbon dots. The method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing an
amide substance and
acetaldehyde according to a preset proportion to obtain a precursor solution; s2, weighing a preset amount of strong alkali
solid as a catalyst, rapidly adding the strong alkali solid into the precursor solution, and performing ultrasonic mixing to obtain a reaction solution; s3, heating the reaction solution and carrying out
reflux reaction; s4, after the reaction is completed, naturally cooling a reaction solution to
room temperature, separating and purifying, and taking a
solid product; and S5,
drying the solid-state product in a
drying oven to obtain the target product solid-state fluorescent
carbon dot. According to the synthesis method disclosed by the invention, on the basis of a mature
aldol condensation reaction mechanism, by accurately regulating and controlling key parameters such as the
molar ratio of reactants, the
reaction temperature and time and the like, the generation of byproducts is effectively inhibited, the yield is remarkably improved (the yield can be up to 70-80%), and large-scale efficient preparation from
gram level to
kilogram level is realized. Meanwhile, the adopted raw materials are low in cost and wide in source, the reaction can be carried out under the conditions of normal pressure and lower temperature, the
operation safety is high, and the
energy consumption is low. And the post-treatment process only relates to conventional
centrifugation, washing and
drying steps, and no complex purification equipment is needed, so that the production cost and the
process complexity are greatly reduced. Therefore, the method has great industrial large-scale production potential.
