In this study, dilution analysis and anion exchange chromatography (AEC) were employed to provide insights into the photoluminescence (PL) of carbon nanodots (CNDs). A stepwise dilution process revealed that some of the fluorophores with higher energy emission were quenched in the high concentration solution and appeared in the dilute solutions. AEC fractionation led to seven sorts of CND fractions with similar surface charges. The fractionation for this CND mixture showed that excitation wavelength dependence was lower for separated CND particles. The wavelength dependence of excitation spectra could be due to energy exchange between particles that was reduced in diluted solutions and separated fractions. Multivariate analysis of AEC's data demonstrated that there were five distinct fluorophores, which formed the total CND emission. It is interesting that none of these fluorophores had a clear contribution to the surface charge of the CND particles. Further characterization through FTIR spectroscopy and H-1 NMR revealed that optical properties of CNDs did not follow the surface functional groups in CNDs. This situation means that the optical behaviour of particles and their fluorophores differed depending on the surface functional groups.
