Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have received increasing attention due to their excellent photostability, low toxicity, tunable fluorescence performance [1], high extinction coefficient and brightness. In this study, carbon dots were prepared by carbonization of chitosan via hydrothermal carbonization method [2]. To improve the stability, graphene oxide synthesized by the Hummer method was incorporated. The obtained CQDs were characterized by various techniques including FTIR, AFM, TEM, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results obtained are aimed at incorporating carbon dots into nanostructured surfaces to enhance hydrogen production by photocatalytic water splitting.
