Synthesis of nitrogen-doping carbon dots with different photoluminescence properties by controlling the surface states

Abstract
We used a simple hydrothermal route to obtain EDE N-CDs or EIE N-CDs. The fluorescence of the as-prepared CDs could be quenched by cellular Hg2+ owing to the electrons transfer from CDs to Hg2+.
