Fluorescent EGTA-derived carbon dots for turn on–off–on detection of Fe3+ and ascorbic acid via hydrothermal synthesis and cellular imaging
Abstract We present a novel, one-step hydrothermal synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) with intense blue fluorescence and a remarkably high quantum yield of 50%, using ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) as a single precursor eliminating the need for additional passivation agents. This streamlined st...
