Abstract
We report a simple hydrothermal synthesis of highly reproducible carbon nanoparticles in a size range between 2 and 7 nm from a single precursor sucrose without either surface passivating agents or acids and bases. The carbon nanoparticles can be used as white light phosphors, especially for ultraviolet light emitting diodes and metal-free catalyst for the reduction of nitrophenol.
