Enhancing fluorescent nanocomposites: Strategies for interaction and interface modification of carbon dots with metal oxides

The development of nanocarbon-integrated ceramic composites is highly desired to improve the functionality oxide-based materials, such as conductivity, catalytic activity, and optical mechanical properties. Among nanocarbons, fluorescent nanocarbon materials with unique chemical/physical properties, known carbon dots (C-dots), have received considerable attention in recent years. C-dots can be structurally controlled by surface modification defect introduction core, making them suitable for synthesis nanocomposite ceramics. This review provides an overview synthetic design semiconductor oxides glass matrices using solution processes. In particular, interactions due microstructure matrix, bonding-induced immobilization dispersion physicochemical approaches understanding fluorescence factors are described based on changes
