This review article highlights recent progress in use of green precursors for synthesis of carbon-dots and their applications in fluorescence-based sensing and bioimaging.
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) have gained tremendous attention in agriculture. Herein, we summarize recent progress of the interaction between CDs and plant systems, mainly including plant growth, photosynthesis, resistance, etc.
In this mini review, we briefly summarized the raw materials, synthesis and typical properties of CDs and ways to realize long-wavelength and multicolor emission including surface state and size controlled by synthesis strategies, proper precursors, chemical doping and modification, solvatochromic effects and energy transfer.
