Abstract
In this study, the carbon dots (CDs) with diameters of less than 12 nm were successfully synthesized from Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) peels with the simple and green method of microwave assisted. The chemical and optical properties of CDs were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FITR) and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, respectively. Finally, the qualitative fluorescent property of CDs was demonstrated with optical microscopy in fluorescent modes. These are the evidence that our as-synthesized CDs have potential in fluorescent bioimaging applications.
