Abstract

Highly photoluminescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) were synthesized for the first time from metal-organic framework (MOF, ZIF-8) nanoparticles. Coupled with fluorescence and non-toxic characteristics, these carbon nanodots could potentially be used in biosafe color patterning.

Keywords: carbon; fluorescent probes; metal-organic frameworks; nanodots; quantum dots.
