Carbon dots versus nano-carbon/organic hybrids – dramatically different behaviors in fluorescence sensing of metal cations with structural and mechanistic implications

Abstract

Carbon dots of surface-functionalized small carbon nanoparticles are dramatically different from fluorescent samples from thermal carbonization of organic precursors in their fluorescence quenching-based sensing of copper cations in solution.
