The Synthetic Carbon

The first step is choosing a precursor, which provides the carbon atoms for the synthetic structure. : Hydrocarbons like methane ( CH4cap C cap H sub 4 ), ethylene ( C2H4cap C sub 2 cap H sub 4 ), or acetylene ( C2H2cap C sub 2 cap H sub 2 ) are used for high-purity nanostructures.

: Organic compounds like citric acid or sugar syrup are often used for "green" synthesis of carbon dots.
