TL;DR: In this article, highly fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized from enokitake mushroom via a one-step hydrothermal method in the presence of diluted sulfuric acid, and the spherical carbon dots exhibited blue photoluminescence under UV illumination and a quantum yield of 11% upon passivation with tetraethylenepentamine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of lysine-based carbon quantum dots is estimated to proceed through the microwave induced thermal polyamidation and subsequent carbonization reaction, and the control experiments using the other amino acids having linear structures reveals that the branched molecular structure of Lysine is one of prerequisite points to obtain strongly luminescent carbon quantum dot with high mass yield.

TL;DR: 2D IR spectroscopy is proving to be very useful in disentangling overlapping structural distributions in biological and chemical physics processes and is also a powerful new tool for studying charge transfer at interfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, a click reaction between ethynyl-terminated poly(3-hexylthiophene) and an azide self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was used to construct poly( 3hexyl-thiophenes) brushes on silicon dioxide (SiO2).
