“…Carbon nanomaterials, including fullerenes, [1] carbon nanotubes, [2,3] graphene [4] have gained remarkable attention owing to their unique properties and potential applications, including electrode materials, catalysis, adsorption, and gas storage among others. [9,10] The unique features of C-dots make them potential applicants in the field of bio-labeling, [11][12][13][14][15] drug delivery, [16] luminescent membranes, [17] fluorescent sensors, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] light emitting diodes (LEDs), [25] catalytic activity, [26] storage applications, [27] and renewable energy harvesting. [5][6][7][8] Typically displaying size and excitation dependent luminescence properties, Cdots have received great attention in the present scenario as nascent nano-dots, especially in the field where size, cost of the material and biocompatibility are critical.…”
