(A) XPS spectra of as-synthesized C-QDs (wide scan) shows carbon and oxygen peaks, (B) XPS spectra of ground fennel powder (wide scan) depicts that the seeds are mainly composed of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, (C) XPS spectra of C 1 s spectrum of as-synthesized C-QDs, spectrum was de-convoluted into three significant peaks at 284.6 (C=C), 286.16 (C-O) and 287.2 eV (C=O), respectively, (D) XPS spectra of O 1 s spectrum of as-synthesized C-QDs, spectrum was de-convoluted into two significant peaks at 529.13 (phy-Adsorb) and 531.1 eV (isolated-OH/C=O/O-C=O) respectively.
