    Abstract:
    Most carbon dots (CDs) conventional fabrication approaches produce single colored fluorescent materials, different methods are required to synthesize distinct carbon dots for specific optical applications. Herein, using one-pot hydrothermal treatment of Syringa obtata Lindl, a facile, low-cost and green assay is achieved in the controllable synthesis of blue and green fluorescent carbon dots. The fluorescent emission of CDs can be well-tuned by adding sodium hydroxide in the precursor solution. Blue fluorescent CDs are applied to Fe3+ sensing with a low detection limit of 0.11 μM of linear range from 0.5 to 80 μM, and then further extended to analysis river water samples. Green fluorescent CDs can be applied to pH detection, which show a remarkable linear enhancement in the green fluorescence emission region when the pH is increased from 1.98 to 8.95. Eventually, the detection of Fe3+ and pH are applied for the living cells fluorescent images in MCF-7 cells are achieved successfully, indicating as-synthesized CDs potential toward diverse application as promising candidate.
