Green-emitting carbon quantum dots (G-CQDs) were prepared using tartaric acid and bran by one-pot solvothermal treatment and had photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QY) as high as 46%. The morphology of the G-CQDs is characterized by TEM, which shows the average diameter of G-CQDs is approximately similar to 4.85 nm. The FT-IR spectra display the presence of -OH, C-N, N-H and -COOH on the surface of the G-CQDs. The emission wavelength of the G-CQDs was similar to 539 nm in the case of similar to 450 nm excitation wavelength, which corresponds to the green fluorescence. Furthermore, the G-CQDs were used as a fluorescent probe for detection Cu2+ ions, and demonstrated a linear distribution between ln(F/F-0) and the Cu2+ ions concentration. Specifically, the Cu2+ ion concentration should fall in the G-CQD concentration range of 0-0.5 mM and the detection limit is 0.0507 mu M. Thus, due to the excellent chemical stability and good luminescence performance, these G-CQDs could be excellent probes widely used in detection fields.
