Jayakumar A. et al. (Eds.) Carbon Quantum Dots from Natural Sources: Properties, Development, and Emerging Applications

CRC Press, 2025. — 434 p. — ISBN-13 : 978-1032569581Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are a novel class of zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials that are relatively nontoxic and cost-effective and offer desirable properties that make them excellent candidates for various applications. This book introduces the fundamentals of CQDs, natural sources and methods used for their synthesis, and characterization techniques. It addresses applications in biomedical, environmental, electrical, and other areas.
