Facile one-pot synthesis of highly fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots by mild hydrothermal method and their applications in detection of Cr(VI) ions

Highly fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) with high fluorescence quantum yield (58.6%), which prepared by a simple, one-pot mild hydrothermal method, could be served as a fluorescent sensing platform for fast and effective detection of Cr(VI) ions.193
