This work reports the study on the luminescence properties portrayed by carbon dots synthesized under different acid hydrolysis conditions. Sulphuric acid was employed to dehydrate and carbonize α-cellulose as starting precursor. We revealed that the emissions of carbon dots were strongly dependent...
