Graphene quantum dot (GQD) is one of the youngest superstars of the carbon family. Since
its emergence in 2008, GQD has attracted a great deal of attention due to its unique …

Nanocarbons with different dimensions (eg, 0D fullerenes and carbon nanodots, 1D carbon
nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons, 2D graphene and graphene oxides, and 3D …

Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution coupled with organic oxidation reaction is a promising
alternative to water splitting, where the efficiency is limited due to the weak correlation …

Carbon-based Quantum dots (C-QDs) are carbon-based materials that experience the
quantum confinement effect, which results in superior optoelectronic properties. In recent …

Carbon dots (CDs) are a versatile nanomaterial with attractive photoluminescent and
photocatalytic properties. Here we show that these two functionalities can be easily tuned …

The development of two-dimensional (2D) inorganic materials-based quantum dots (QDs) is
still in its infancy but is triggering immense enthusiasm due to their high chemical stability …

Nanoscale imine-linked covalent organic frameworks (nCOFs) were first loaded with the
anticancer drug Doxorubicin (Dox), coated with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3 …

Stable blue fluorescent nitrogen doped carbon dots (N-CDs) with a very high quantum yield
up to 81% has been reported for the first time. Novel N-CDs were synthesized through an …

Passivation of carbon dots, via nitrogen-doping, enhances their photoluminescent properties
yet the impact of the chemical composition of the passivating molecule remains poorly …

Herein, we elucidate the origin of high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) and high
surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivity of in-situ nitrogen-doped graphene …
