Preparation of functionalized watersoluble ...
Nov 01, 2014· Here we report a new strategy for preparation of watersoluble photoluminescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from petroleum coke. Petroleum coke was oxidized first in mixed concentrated H 2 SO 4 and HNO 3, and then functionalized by hydrothermal ammonia asmade CQDs and nitrogendoped CQDs (NCQDs) were characterized by UV–Vis absorption spectroscope, .
