Photoluminescent (PL) carbon quantum dots (CQDs), in which Cu(I) was doped stably owing to their specific zigzag edge structure, were used for catalyzing the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and alkynes, the prototypical reaction of “click chemistry”. The results showed the great potential of the as-prepared CQDs in catalysis chemistry applications.
