Abstract

Musa Paradisiaca Linn peels are organic waste causing serious environmental problems. With unique properties, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have gained intense interest to be used in various applications. Herein, a facile and ecofriendly hydrothermal approach is developed for preparation of CQDs from Musa peels as the precursors. The resulting CQDs emit bright green fluorescence under excitation of 365 nm UV light. Photoluminescence spectroscopy measurement and power measurement were conducted to observe the optical properties of CQDs. This study presents a practical experiment approach of aqueous CQDs with homogeneous distribution and high FWHM led to futher potential application such as LED.
