Synthesis and properties of carbon quantum dots as an antimicrobial agent and detection of ciprofloxacin

Abstract This work reports a novel one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of N-CQDs using Solanum nigrum L. as sustainable carbon source and triethylamine as nitrogen provider. The resulting N-CQDs were systematically characterized with TEM, SEM, FT-IR, XPS, XRD, and UV–Visible. Significantly, the N-CQDs ex...
