研究目的
To synthesize carbon nanodots from cellulose nanocrystals derived from oil palm empty fruit using pyrolysis method and to investigate the effect of temperature on their characteristics.
研究成果
The research successfully synthesized fluorescent carbon nanodots from cellulose nanocrystals via pyrolysis, with temperature affecting fluorescence properties. Higher temperatures reduce quantum efficiency, indicating that optimal temperature control is crucial for maximizing fluorescence characteristics.
研究不足
The percentage yield of cellulose nanocrystals and carbon nanodots is less than 50%, indicating inefficiency in the synthesis process. The study is limited to specific temperature ranges and may not cover all optimal conditions for carbon nanodot production.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses pyrolysis to synthesize carbon nanodots from cellulose nanocrystals, with temperature as a key variable. Cellulose nanocrystals are isolated from oil palm empty fruit using alkaline and bleaching treatments, followed by acid hydrolysis. Pyrolysis is conducted at different temperatures (250°C, 300°C, 400°C) in a laboratory furnace. Characterization includes TEM for morphology and UV light for fluorescence.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Oil palm empty fruit is used as the raw material. Samples are prepared through chemical treatments and pyrolysis.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a laboratory furnace, centrifuge, ultrasonic bath, dialysis membrane, TEM (JEOL 1400), and UV light source. Materials include Oil Palm Empty Fruit, distilled water, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, acetate acid, and dialysis membrane.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
