We demonstrate luminescent carbon nanostructures (LCNs) with yellow-orange emission synthesized from citric acid (CA) and urea by hydrothermal treatment. LCNs were treated in water and N,N- dimethylformamide (DMF) at 160° for 6 hours. In this case, an increase of the solvent polarity provides the shifting of the LCNs luminescence to the longer emissive region. The LCNs mixture treated in DMF was fractionated by size-exclusion chromatography. It was obtained 33 fractions with three types of emissive sites at 460 nm (fractions 1-7 and 11-33), 540 nm (fractions 8-13), and 620 nm (fractions 12-33).
