Quantum dots (QDs) generally refer to nanoscale particles of conventional semiconductors that are subject the quantum-confinement effect, though other nanomaterials similar optical and redox properties also named as QDs even in absence strictly defined quantum confinement. Among such have attracted tremendous recent interest carbon dots, which small nanoparticles with some form surface passivation, graphene various configurations. In this article, we highlight these carbon-based by focusing...

Carbon "quantum" dots (or carbon dots) have emerged as a new class of optical nanomaterials. Beyond the widely reported bright fluorescence emissions in dots, their excellent photoinduced redox properties that resemble those found conventional semiconductor nanostructures are equally valuable, with photon-electron conversion applications from photovoltaics to CO2 photocatalytic reduction. In this work we used gold-doped controlled synthesis water-soluble catalysts for closer examination...
