“…As it is associated with tumor development and progression, it has been used as a target for delivering therapeutic drugs for tumor therapy [ [399] , [400] , [401] ]. The cooperation that occurs between CDs and hyaluronic acid (HA) has been used in tumor diagnosis and treatment by numerous researchers [ [402] , [403] , [404] , [405] , [406] , [407] , [408] , [409] , [410] , [411] , [412] , [413] , [414] , [415] , [416] , [417] , [418] , [419] , [420] , [421] , [422] , [423] , [424] , [425] , [426] , [427] ], brief details of which are presented in Table 7 , Table 8 .…”

“…Through this technique, the radii of CDs can be evaluated via the measurement of diffusion rate of CDs in liquified media. However, the limitation of considering this method resides in unreliability and inaccuracy, because the DLS gives information only about the size distribution of CDs from the generated photon complementary function [155,[193][194][195][196]. Furthermore, zeta-potential measurements can determine the surface charge as well as particle size of CDs, and can be broadly employed for the characterization of chemical functionalization on the surface of CDs [185,197].…”

Carbon dots (CDs) are usually smaller than 10 nm in size, and are meticulously formulated and recently introduced nanomaterials, among the other types of carbon-based nanomaterials. They have gained significant attention and an incredible interest in the field of nanotechnology and biomedical science, which is merely due to their considerable and exclusive attributes; including their enhanced electron transferability, photobleaching and photo-blinking effects, high photoluminescent quantum yield, fluorescence property, resistance to photo-decomposition, increased electrocatalytic activity, good aqueous solubility, excellent biocompatibility, long-term chemical stability, cost-effectiveness, negligible toxicity, and acquaintance of large effective surface area-to-volume ratio. CDs can be readily functionalized owing to the abundant functional groups on their surfaces, and they also exhibit remarkable sensing features such as specific, selective, and multiplex detectability. In addition, the physico-chemical characteristics of CDs can be easily tunable based on their intended usage or application. In this comprehensive review article, we mainly discuss the classification of CDs, their ideal properties, their general synthesis approaches, and primary characterization techniques. More importantly, we update the readers about the recent trends of CDs in health care applications (viz., their substantial and prominent role in the area of electrochemical and optical biosensing, bioimaging, drug/gene delivery, as well as in photodynamic/photothermal therapy).

“…In addition, dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements lead to information about particle size. 45 Also mass spectroscopy, including electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (ESIQ-TOF-MS/MS) 46 and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), 47 can be used to obtain information about the composition of nanoparticles. In addition, spectroscopic methods, such as photoluminescence UV-Vis, IR and Raman spectroscopy, are usually employed to obtain spectral information ( vide infra ).…”
