备注

将富勒烯C60和C70分别在空气气氛中350 ℃下煅烧,然后采用尿素还原法在温和(90 ℃)条件下制备得到碳量子点; 以透射电子显微镜、粉末X-射线衍射、拉曼光谱和傅里叶变换红外光谱等对碳量子点的组成和形貌进行表征,通过紫外-可见吸收光谱和荧光光谱对其光学性能进行研究; 并推测碳量子点的形成机制.结果表明,在激发光波长为320 nm时,两种碳量子点的荧光最大发射峰波长位于450 nm附近,相对荧光量子产率分别为23.24%和27.55%,推测其形成机制为尿素对空气气氛中煅烧过的富勒烯表面氧化位点的还原.该结果为温和条件下合成碳量子点提供了一种新的思路.

Carbon quantum dots(CQDs)exhibit excellent photoluminescent property and environmental friendliness.In this work,fullerene C60 and C70were treated at 350 ℃ in muffle furnace under air condition,followed by the reduction of urea at 90 ℃ to prepare CQDs.The chemical composition and structure of CQDs were characterized using transmission electron microscope,powder X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The optical properties of CQDs were studied using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry and photoluminescence spectroscopy.The results showed that the emission wavelength was around 450 nm under the excitation wavelength of 320 nm and the relative quantum yield of C60-CQDs and C70-CQDs were 23.24% and 27.55%,respectively.Our studies revealed a possible mechanism of the reduction of oxygen defects on the calcined fullerene.This work proposed a new method for the synthesis of CQDs under mild conditions.
