Nitrogen doping on fluorescent carbon dot nanoparticles synthesized from lychee exocarps for applications in UV tube down-conversion and pH-responsive curcumin delivery
Lychee exocarps were used as a carbon source for carbon dot (CD) preparation via a hydrothermal method. The CDs were doped with various nitrogen sources, demonstrating luminescence, photostability, and an ability to carry drugs via covalent bonding.
