Green Synthesis for Carbon Quantum Dots via and : Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Sensing Applications.

In this study, we present an alternative method for synthesizing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using a green synthesis approach via extracts from and . The extracts from both plants were used as the carbon source for the CQDs. The synthesis method employs mesoporous zeolite 4A as a refractory for the thermal treatment of the samples.
