The invention provides a preparation method of a
nitrogen doped carbon based
quantum dot. According to the method, a cheap
carbon source and
nitrogen source are directly mixed, and then the mixture is carbonized by microwaves to prepare
nitrogen doped carbon based
quantum dots. In the prepared
nitrogen doped carbon base
quantum dot, nitrogen exists on the surface and skeleton structure of carbon based
quantum dot in four chemical states: amino group,
pyridine,
pyrrole, and nitrogen-containing four-membered ring; furthermore, nitrogen
chemical state relative contents and optical characteristics are adjustable; the prepared
nitrogen doped carbon based
quantum dot has the advantages of high
fluorescence radiation efficiency and good
catalytic effect, and the performance of the
quantum dot can be further improved through modification, and the modified quantum dot can be applied to the fields such as
catalysis, and the like. Moreover, in the preparation process, the
nitrogen source and
carbon source are directly mixed and carbonized, no wave absorbing material is needed, and the whole preparation process is simple and quick. The obtained carbon based quantum dot is insoluble in water, so the separation and purification of carbon based quantum dot can be completed in a short time, the yield is high, and the preparation method has an important meaning for production, application, and promotion of carbon based quantum dot.
