The green fluorescent N, S-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method using tobias acid and m-phenylenediamine as the precursor. Meanwhile, the S and N provided by tobias acid and m-phenylenediamine respectively endowed N, S-CDs a high quantum yield (37.2%), strong and...
