Properties, synthesis, and applications of carbon dots: A review

Derya Ozyurt, Mohammad Al Kobaisi, Rosalie K. Hocking et al. · 8 Jun 2023

Carbon dots (CDs) refer to a class of carbon-based nanoparticles with various subgroups based on their crystallinity and morphology. CDs offer tuneable physical, chemical, and optical properties, which can be controlled using simple one-pot synthesis techniques. In addition, their non-toxicity, biocompatibility, chemical and physical responsiveness, resistance to photo- and chemical-bleaching and low cost pave the…

Recent trends in the use of green sources for carbon dot synthesis–A short review

Manju Kurian, Anju Paul · 27 Jan 2021

Carbon dots, a class of zero dimensional nanomaterials have recently emerged as excellent candidates for versatile applications such as bioimaging, catalysis, sensing and drug delivery. They possess outstanding optical properties, low toxicity, high biocompatibility, and require simple low-cost synthesis methods. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been developed for the synthesis since its discovery. Various…

Graphene-based field-effect transistor biosensors for the rapid detection and analysis of viruses: A perspective in view of COVID-19

Joydip Sengupta, Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain · 8 Dec 2020

Current situation of COVID-19 demands a rapid, reliable, cost-effective, facile detection strategy to break the transmission chain and biosensor has emerged as a feasible solution for this purpose. Introduction of nanomaterials has undoubtedly improved the performance of biosensor and the addition of graphene enhanced the sensing ability to a peerless level. Amongst different graphene-based biosensing…
