| Description | Triammonium citrate, also known as citric acid triammonium, results from the reaction between citric acid and ammonia at a 1:3 molar ratio. This compound serves as a carbon source for the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CDs). The presence of higher nitrogen content in triammonium citrate may enhance nitrogen-based functional groups in CDs, thereby improving emission-color tunability [1] [2]. |
