Carbon dots from polyurethane for pH and 4-nitrophenol sensing and selective detection of silver ion (Ag+)

Carbon dots from polyurethane for pH and 4-nitrophenol sensing and selective detection of silver ion (Ag+)

Polyurethane (PU) foam is an interesting precursor for carbon dot (CD) synthesis because: (1) PU foam waste generation is alarmingly high, and (2) PU is rich in functional groups which is imperative to producing highly photoluminescent CDs. In this study, carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized form poly...
