We systematically summarize the recent progress in the green synthesis and formation mechanism of CDs with the hope to provide guidance for developing CDs with the concept of green chemistry. In addition, we discuss and organize the current opinions on the fluorescence origin of CDs and the latest progress of CDs in fluorescence sensing applications.
Carbon dots (CDs), as a new type of carbon-based nanomaterial, have attracted broad research interest for years, because of their diverse physicochemical properties and favorabl...
Abstract Despite the various synthesis methods to obtain carbon dots (CDs), the bottom‐up methods are still the most widely administrated route to afford large‐scale and low‐cos...
With their bright, photostable fluorescence, semiconductor quantum dots show promise as alternatives to organic dyes for biological labeling. Questions about their potential cyt...
We describe the synthesis of water-soluble semiconductor nanoparticles and discuss and characterize their properties. Hydrophobic CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals with a core si...
In this work we demonstrate a facile means to generate fluorescent carbon nanoribbons, nanoparticles, and graphene from graphite electrode using ionic liquid-assisted electroche...
