Here, we have used food waste derived chicken egg shell membrane as a cost effective carbon source for the synthesis of heteroatom doped fluorescent carbon dots. We are able to apply these synthesized carbon dots as a new fluorescent probe for label free base pair selective and sequence specific double stranded DNA binding.
