Abstract

Carbon nanodots can be obtained in good yields by direct combustion of an abundant waste from the wine industry, wine lees. The extraction of these nanoparticles followed by their chemical functionalization lead to an ink-jettable material emitting in the visible region (blue) under specific UV irradiation.
