Abstract

Since carbon quantum dots have high photoluminescent efficiency, it has been a desired material in sensor and bioimaging applications. In recent years, the green chemistry approach has been preferred and the production of quantum dots has been reported in many studies using different precursors from natural, abundant, or waste sources. Hydrothermal, chemical oxidation, microwave supported, ultrasonic, solvothermal, pyrolysis, laser etching, solid-state, plasma, and electrochemical methods have been reported in the literature. In this review article, green chemistry strategies for carbon quantum dot synthesis is summarized and compared with conventional methods using methodologic and statistical data. Furthermore, a detailed discussion on sensor and bioimaging applications of carbon quantum dots produced with green synthesis approaches are presented with a special focus on the last decade.

摘要

由于碳量子点具有高光致发光效率，因此它已成为传感器和生物成像应用中理想的材料。近年来，绿色化学方法已成为首选，许多研究报告了使用来自天然、丰富或废物来源的不同前体来生产量子点。文献报道了水热法、化学氧化法、微波支持法、超声波法、溶剂热法、热解法、激光蚀刻法、固态法、等离子体法和电化学方法。在这篇评论文章中，总结了碳量子点合成的绿色化学策略，并使用方法学和统计数据与传统方法进行了比较。此外，
