摘要

In the present study, fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have been bioengineered using seaweed Halimeda opuntia through an eco-friendly hydrothermal approach and reported here for the first time. The physicochemical properties of CDs were analysed using XRD, FT-IR, TEM-EDAX, UV-VIS, PL, Raman and Z-scan studies. From XRD pattern the broad diffraction peak at 2θ = 24.31° confirms the occurrence of amorphous carbon with a graphite-like structure. The optical absorption studies confirmed the presence of π- π* electron transfer of the conjugate C =C due to the absorption peak at around 260 nm. FTIR analysis showed the presence of functional groups which are responsible for the formation of CDs using Halimeda opuntia seaweed. From Z – scan analysis, the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of CDs were studied.
