Synthesis of Fluorescent Carbon Nanoparticles by Electrochemistry Etching
The fluorescent carbon nanoparticles were synthesized by electrochemistry etching graphite electrode using the ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt solution as the electrolyte. The properties of the light absorption and fluorescence emission of carbon nanoparticles were obtained by electrochemistry etching and were characterized by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectrophotometers. The crystal characterizations and compositions of the obtained carbon nanoparticles were investigated by employing the transmission electron microscope and energy disperse spectroscopy. The results show that carbon nanoparticles with several nanometers are dispersive and exhibit the strong absorption at 325 nm and the bright blue light emission. The effects of the electrolytic solutions and concentrations on the light emissions from carbon nanoparticles were also studied. Finally
the origin of the light emission from carbon nanoparticles obtained by electrochemistry etching was proposed.
