摘要： | Carbon dots (C-Dots), defined by characteristic sizes of <10 nm, have become a rising star in carbonnanomaterials. C-Dots possess many unique physiochemical and photochemical properties which makethem a promising platform for imaging, environmental, catalytic, biological and energy-related applications. To date, C-Dots have been investigated extensively, and their related applications have developedrapidly. However, quantitative understanding of the physiochemical properties of C-Dots still remains adifficult challenge because of their complex structures. Here, we will highlight the recent progress in thepractical applications of C-Dots, with particular attention to the research in light-emitting devices, bioimaging and biodetection, catalysis, functional materials, and agriculture. |
