This study investigates CQDs synthesized from orange peels through a sustainable hydrothermal method. The CQDs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared  \n(FT-IR) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to elucidate their optical and structural properties. Multi-Gaussian fitting of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra was employed to deconvolute the emission profiles, revealing the contributions of the zero-phonon line (ZPL) and phonon sidebands, which correlate closely with the characteristic carbonyl (C=O) stretching mode at approximately 0.21 eV, as identified by FT-IR. The Huang-Rhys factor, calculated from both the PL spectral analysis and the Stokes shift, quantifies the electron-phonon coupling strength, providing insights into the recombination dynamics. The synthesized CQDs exhibited robust blue fluorescence under UV excitation, with excitation-wavelength-dependent tunable emission. Moreover, the CQDs achieved a significantly enhanced quantum yield compared with previously reported orange peel– derived counterparts, together with stable radiative lifetimes, demonstrating efficient radiative recombination. These features confirm their strong potential for bioimaging, optoelectronic, and sensing applications and reinforce the viability of fruit waste as a sustainable precursor for high-quality fluorescent nanomaterials with well-defined vibronic characteristics.  \nCarbon is a key element in organic matter, giving carbon-based nanomaterials inherent biocompatibility, sustainability, availability, and low cost1. Advances in recent years have led to the development of diverse carbon nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and nanodiamonds. These materials have gained attention for their nanoscale structures and exceptional physicochemical properties, especially in microelectronics.  \nHowever, their practical use is limited by challenges such as difficult synthesis (e.g., nanodiamonds), poor solubility (CNTs, graphene, fullerenes), and weak visible-light luminescence, which restricts their applications in optoelectronics and bioimaging1.  \nCarbon quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged as a promising alternative. These zero-dimensional, fluorescent nanoparticles (typically \u003C 10 nm) exhibit strong luminescence, water solubility, chemical stability, low toxicity,  \n1Faculty of Engineering Physics and Nanotechnology, VNU University of Engineering and Technology, Vietnam National University, 144 Xuan Thuy Street, Cau Giay, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam. 2Institute of Physics, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 10 Dao Tan Street, Giang Vo, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam. 3Institute of Materials, Biology and Environment, Academy of Military Science and Technology, 17 Hoang Sam Street, Nghia Do, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam. 4National Institute of Drug Quality Control, Ministry of Health of Vietnam, 48 Hai BaTrung Street, Cua Nam, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam. 􀀍 email: [cuongnd@vnu.edu.vn](cuongnd@vnu.edu.vn)  \n[www. nature.com/scientificreports/](www. nature.com/scientificreports/)  \nand tunable optical properties2.
