(a) Images of CDs and SFCDs in water. CDs are highly immiscible in water. Bare CDs get slightly dispersed on vigorous stirring, while SFCDs settle at the bottom of the vial; Emission spectra for carbon dots immersed in water for (b) bare CDs λex = 350 nm (c), SFCDs λex = 250 nm, and (d) SFCDs λex = 350 nm.
