Abstract :
A novel class of nano-carbon materials called as
luminescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has received a
most of attention lately, specially in the fields of chemical
sensors, bio-imaging, nano-medicine, solar cells, lightemitting diode (LED), and electro catalysis. Many
methods, including the arc-discharge method, microwave
pyrolysis, hydro-thermal process, and electro-chemical
synthesis, can be used to make CQDs quickly and
affordably. CQDs have outstanding chemical and physical
characteristics, including high crystallisation, good
dispersibility, and photoluminescence. Particularly, the
CQDs-based composite has high electric conductivity and
catalytic activity due to the small size, superconductivity,
and quick electron transfer of CQDs. Additionally, CQDs
have a lot of surface functional groups, which could make
it easier to make multi-component electrical active
catalysts. As a result of interactions within these multicomponent catalysts, charge transfer, a crucial
electrochemical process, may be promoted, which could
further improve the catalytic performance. Recent studies
on CQDs have concentrated on their photocatalytic and
fluorescence features. This review summarize the different
approaches for the synthesis of C-QDs and the properties
in the different field of science.
