The invention provides a method for green synthesis of fluorescent chiral carbon dots. The method comprises the steps of 1, ultrasonically dispersing a carbon precursor and
amino acid in deionized water to prepare a transparent
aqueous solution or latex, wherein the
mass ratio of the carbon precursor to the
amino acid is 200:1 to 5:1; 2, putting the
mixed solution obtained in the step 1 into a
microwave heating device for a
microwave heating reaction so as to obtain yellow or brown-yellow liquid; 3, dialyzing the carbon
quantum dot solution obtained through the reaction in the step 2 by a
dialysis bag of which the molecular weight
cut-off is 1,000-50,000 to remove unreacted carbon precursor and
amino acid, thereby obtaining fluorescent carbon dots, of which the
particle size distribution is narrow, without further purification. The method disclosed by the invention adopts a
microwave synthetic method to obtain the chiral carbon dots with the relatively high fluorescent
quantum yield through one step, the synthetic method is simple, the required equipment is simple, the
repeatability is good, and the method is suitable for preparation of chiral carbon dots on a large scale.
