Fast one-step synthesis of N-doped carbon dots by pyrolyzing ethanolamine

Abstract

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were directly synthesized with high yield by pyrolyzing ethanolamine in air within 7 minutes. The obtained N-CDs possess bright blue excitation- and pH-dependent luminescence. This one-step strategy could enable a viable route towards the commercial synthesis of N-CDs.
