The world of nanotechnology is continuously evolving, and one of the most promising advancements in this field is the development of carbon quantum dots (CQDs). These tiny particles, smaller than a nanometer, have the potential to revolutionize various industries due to their unique properties and eco-friendly nature. As the world grapples with the urgent need to shift towards sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, CQDs emerge as a beacon of hope.
Carbon quantum dots are derived from carbon, one of the most abundant elements on earth. This makes them a cost-effective option compared to other nanomaterials. They are also non-toxic and biocompatible, making them safe for use in a variety of applications, including biomedicine, energy, and environmental science. Moreover, their small size and high surface area make them highly efficient in their functionality.
