One-pot green synthesis of optically pH-sensitive carbon dots with upconversion luminescence

Abstract

One-pot fabrication of fluorescent carbon dots was facilely developed by directly heating ascorbic acid aqueous solution at 90 °C. The resulting carbon dots possess excitation, pH and polarity-dependent luminescence and upconversion fluorescence properties.
