- We highlight a synthetic approach that directly obtains in a continuous manner biomass derived luminescent carbon quantum dots which exhibit rarely observed excitation independent optical properties and show high sensitivity towards carcinogenic Cr(VI). Selected for the themed collection: Editor’s Choice: Hydrothermal Materials Synthesis for Journal Materials Chemistry A and Materials Advances (Mater. Adv., 2021,2, 538), this paper has formed the basis of a continuous, strong collaboration with Prof M. Titirici (Imperial), x 3 publications in the field, further programme of research (x 1 PhD scholarship), a patent application (PCT/GB2020/053368) and featured in IChemE Global Awards, 2020, Research Project Finalist.
