One-Pot Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Fluorescent Carbon Dots from Tomato Industry Residues with Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities

One-Pot Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Fluorescent Carbon Dots from Tomato Industry Residues with Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities

Tomato waste (TW) was employed as a sustainable source for the synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (Mw-HTC) method, aiming at its valorization. Several amines were used as nitrogen additives to enhance the fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of...
