Carbon quantum dots are of interest for a range of applications thanks to their unique physical and eco-friendly properties, and facile bottom-up methods to synthesize these are thus in demand. Here, the authors report the bottom-up synthesis of carbon quantum dots and microparticles via the thermal decomposition of supercritical acetone, in the absence of any external precursors/starting materials
