Description
Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs), 590–620 nm, Ethanol
Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) emitting in the 590–620 nm orange range are advanced nanomaterials with tunable optical properties, eco-friendly composition, and excellent biocompatibility. Their emission arises from sp² carbon domains decorated with carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino functional groups, which provide strong fluorescence, water dispersibility, and chemical conjugation capability. Synthesized through green hydrothermal or microwave processes, CQDs are highly photostable, exhibit low cytotoxicity, and deliver quantum yields exceeding 30% with doping or surface passivation.
Product Overview
Nanographenex offers high-purity Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) with controlled particle size (<15 nm), spherical morphology, and bright orange emission. With ethanol as the solvent, our CQDs are stable, dispersible, and optimized for research and industrial applications in optoelectronics, biomedical imaging, sensing, and agricultural lighting. Their eco-friendly nature and scalable production make them a sustainable alternative to heavy-metal-based quantum dots.
