A paper titled “Flavonoid moiety-incorporated carbon dots for ultrasensitive and highly selective fluorescent detection and removal of Pb2+” has been accepted to publish in the journal Nano Research. The first author is Jing Xu. In this work, we proposed a novel method for preparation of self-targeting carbon dots. By this carbon dot, we achieved a detection of Pb(II) in water at sub nM level (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12274-017-1931-6).
