REVIEW ON CARBON DOT A NOVEL NANO MEDICINAL APPROACH: STRUCTURE, PROPERTIES & SYNTHESIS

Abstract

The synthesis techniques for C-dots are covered in the review including the template method, which entails calcining the necessary C-dots in an appropriate template before etching to eliminate supports. The sector's difficulties are mentioned, such as the absence of a scalable and systematic synthesis approach for producing high-quality C-dots with desired topologies. It is necessary to systematically investigate how precursors and reaction conditions affect the performance of C-dots because their precise formation process, nucleation process, and response mechanism are not entirely understood. The remarkable potential of C-dots for a diversity of applications is emphasized within this review. In conclusion, it also highlights the carbon dots' extraordinary optical characteristics, exceptional biocompatibility, affordability, and simplicity of customization and functionalization. The potential of C-dots-based material, also emphasizes the need for additional research to address the issues and establish regulated synthetic methods, large-volume manufacturing, and enhanced comprehension of the structure-performance connection.
