Methods for synthesizing fluorescent CQDs and nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped fluorescent CQDs and application thereof

Abstract

A method for synthesizing fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped fluorescent CQDs and applications are provided. Firstly, a mixture of leaf powder and deionized water is subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 200-240° C. to obtain a product A, followed by removing by-products in it and drying to obtain fluorescent CQDs; nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped fluorescent CQDs are obtained by replacing the product A with a product B and treating the product B in a same way as the product A, where product B is obtained as follows: a mixed system of leaf powder, urea phosphate and deionized water is subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 200-240° C. with a mass ratio of urea phosphate to leaf powder as less than or equal to 0.2 to obtain the product B.
