Abstract

We report a facile microwave pyrolysis approach to prepare carbon dots (CDs) using xylitol, a biomass-derived sugar alcohol. Both the surface-passivating agent (ethylenediamine) and HCl are crucial to control the luminescent properties during the synthesis of CDs. CD_xy exhibits bright luminescence, aqueous stability, and low cytotoxicity, and thus has high potential for biomedical applications.
