Green luminescent water-soluble citric acid-carbon dots composite were synthesized from empty fruit bunches (EFB) biochar. The hydrothermal method solves the weakness of the difficult size to control and the large energy. The hydrothermal method has the advantages of being easy, environmentally frie...
