Fluorine-doped carbon nitride (F-C3N4) quantum dots were successfully synthesized on a large scale by a facile ethylene glycol-assisted ultrasonic method using bulk F-C3N4 powder as the precursor and ethylene glycol as the solvent. Characterization results show that high-quality F-C3N4 quantum dots with a uniform size of 1.5-2.0 nm were successfully prepared in ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is found to play an important role in the synthesis of quantum dots. Doping of fluorine in C3N4 could adjust the band gap structure of C3N4, resulting in altering the emission peak position and increasing the fluorescent intensity. The as-prepared F-C3N4 quantum dots in ethylene glycol show much higher fluorescent intensity with the quantum yield of 39.03%. The prepared F-C3N4 quantum dots were successfully applied as a fluorescent probe for bacterial imaging. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
