“…38 Yuan et al judiciously selected 1,3-benzediol in their study to undergo dehydration-induced ring fusion in trimolecular reaction route to produce two differently emissive (green and red) CDs with narrow bandwidth emission and high quantum yield based on reaction time variation. 40 Wang et al, on the other hand, chose 1,4-benzenediol along with hydrazine as the source of nitrogen dopant to prepare full color (417-670 nm) CDs by altering the reactant ratio and proposed that the particle size, surface nitrogen content, and band gap collectively regulate the emission behavior of CDs, leading to multiple color evolution. 26 Conversely, Liu et al selected the oxidized form of 1,4-benzenediol, i.e., para-benzoquinone along with triethylenetetramine and developed a facile, energyefficient synthesis technique at room temperature to develop green and yellow emission CDs in at a large scale.…”
