Carbon dots(CDs)have been extensively studied owing to their fascinating optical properties and wide potential applications.Here,we report an easy-to-perform and organic-solvent-free synthesis strategy for green-emissive CDs(G-CDs)possessing high photoluminescence(PL)quantum yield(QY).The G-CDs are synthesized by heating the homogeneous precursors of citric acid and cyanamide in an open ves-sel,circumventing the use of organic solvents,complex operations,high-pressure reactors,and expensive instruments in the synthesis process.The effect of various reaction variables on the formation and the op-tical properties of G-CDs are systematically investigated.The resultant G-CDs show bright PL emission at 521 nm with PL QY up to 73%.Then a white light-emitting diode(LED)with Commission Internationable de L'Eclairage(CIE)coordinates of(0.33,0.34)and color rendering index(CRI)of 92 is constructed based on G-CDs/thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)composite.Moreover,a visual microfluidic detection plat-form is designed by using G-CDs as fluorescent probes for rapid quantitative detection of Fe3+,Cu2+,and Mn2+metal ions,which can realize synchronized testing of multiple samples.This study might promote the development and preparation methods of high-performance CDs with various optical applications.
