Synthesis of carbon dots from leaf of Cynodon dactylon (grass)

Abstract

The research compares the properties of carbon dots made from Cynodon dactylon grass found in the local garden of Vadodara, Gujrat, India. Carbon dots (CDs) have gotten a lot of interest in the recent decade because of their wide range of uses. The aim of this study was too-green synthesis of carbon dots utilizing a aq. extract of Cynodon dactylon grass in a green and environmentally friendly way. A eco-friendly hydrothermal method was used to prepare carbon dots using grass. Furthermore, carbon dots characterized by various techniques like UV-visible, IR spectra. Carbon dots present in the grass is done by the UV and IR spectrum analysis.
