CDs that exhibited bright orange-green dual fluorescence emission bands were solvothermally synthesized in one pot by heating of citric acid (CA) and urea in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 200 ℃ for 12 hours. The CDs were characterized through transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for composition, phase and morphology. In addition, ultraviolet - visible absorption spectra and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to measure the optical performance for the as-prepared CDs. It was found that the diameter of the CDs ranged from 2.7 nm to 4.3 nm with oxygenous groups on their surface and the CDs had good dispersion in aqueous solution. They showed PL peaks at green (500 nm) and orange (590 nm) under excitation of 440 nm and 540 nm respectively. These kinds of CDs had sensitivity to pH since their PL intensity of 590 nm wavelength in alkaline condition was 6.71 times higher than in neutral water and the UV-Vis absorbance peak showed blue-shifted leading to the color change of the solution. Besides, PL intensity ratio of 500 nm to 590 nm was linear against pH values from 2 to 6 that laid the foundation for the use of CDs in pH sensing applications. 荧光碳点 溶剂热法 橙-绿双波段荧光 pH传感 fluorescent carbon dots solvothermal method orange-green dual fluorescence emission bands pH sensing MIAO P,HAN K,TANG Y G,et al..
