Method for preparing fluorescent carbon quantum dots by using gas-liquid two-phase plasma

Abstract

A method for preparing fluorescent carbon quantum dots by using gas-liquid two-phase plasma is provided, which relates to the field of fluorescent carbon quantum technology. On the basis of liquid phase plasma, an inert gas is introduced to generate plasma by a gas-liquid two-phase discharge method. The introduction of inert gas facilitates the formation of discharge channels, reduces the difficulty of product synthesis, improves mass transfer rates of active particles, helps to improve synthesis rates of carbon nano-products, increases discharge contact area and enhances discharge stability. A high reaction efficiency and a short time consumption can be realized. A pulsed power supply is adopted for discharge, which has lower energy consumption compared with the direct current discharge. Moreover, the process is simple, raw materials are easy to obtain, and there is no need for catalysts, strong oxidants or strong corrosives, so the purity of the product maybe higher.
