Abstract:The use of sustainable materials in high-tech devices is one way to decrease the carbon footprint and tackle global climate change. We first synthesized blue-emissive carbon dots from biocompatible onion inner epidermal cells using Solvothermal method. Then, cellulose nanofiber was prepared by TEMPO oxidization, followed by homogenisation from soft wood source. Finally, the blue emissive carbon dots-cellulose nanofibers-based nanopaper was fabricated by simple roller-coating approach, and its optical and morph… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
