Carbon nanoparticles(C-dots) were prepared by refluxing the combustion soots of candles and corn stalk in nitric acid.The synthesized C-dots were characterized.The results showed a sharp increase in oxygen content and a sharp decrease in carbon content after oxidation.The C-dots had-OH and-CO_2H groups introduced which made them hydrophilic.However,their difference was also obvious.The C-dots from candle soot had a 10-45 nm broad particle size distribution,and those from corn stalk soot had a 6-18 nm relatively small and narrow size distribution.The C-dots were mainly of sp~2 and sp~3 carbon structure different from the C-dots of diamond-like structure from candle soot.Interestingly,two kinds of C-dots all exhibited unique photoluminescent properties.The obtained C-dots have potential applications in a broad range of areas.
