Abstract:Functionalized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) show great potential for application in the field of food safety by combining their use with other technologies. CQDs are good candidates in this regard due to the wide range of sources of raw materials for their synthesis, and their good biocompatibility and stable fluorescence. This paper analyses the properties of CQDs and compares them with those of conventional semiconductor quantum dots. It analyses the similarities and differences between hydrothermal carbonizat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
