Abstract
Biomass is regarded as an excellent candidate for the preparation of carbon nanomaterials. A pH sensor was established based on carbon dots synthesized from black fungus, and possesses good fluorescence response and reversibility for pH detection. Meanwhile, the CDs can also be applied to intra-cellular bioimaging, showing potential for bioimaging.
