Waste Utilization of Synthetic Carbon Quantum Dots Based on Tea and Peanut Shell

According to the concept of waste utilization and environmental protection, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with high quantum yield and good stability were synthesized from waste tea leaves and peanut shells by a one-step hydrothermal method. In this study, we explored the synthetic conditions, structure...
