A deep investigation into the structure of carbon dots

Since their discovery, carbon dots (CDs) have been a promising nanomaterial in variety of fields including nanomedicine. Despite potential this area, there are many obstacles to overcome for CDs be approved biomedical use. One major hindrance CDs’ approval is related poorly defined structure. Herein structural study presented order rectify shortcoming. The properties three which significant promise applications, black (B-CDs), nitride (CNDs), and yellow (Y-CDs), compared develop coherent model each nanosystem. Absorption coefficients were measured system data gave insight on the level disorder system. Furthermore, extensive characterization has performed derive information This showed that B-CDs CNDs functionalized greater degree also more disordered amorphous than Y-CDs. These techniques used consistent with obtained what known carbonic nanostructures. models can analyze CD emission better understand structure-property relationship CDs.
