Carbon Quantum Dots

Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) are tiny, nano-sized particles made mainly of carbon. These particles are so small that they exhibit unique optical properties, like glowing under certain light conditions (fluorescence). Due to their small size, CQDs have potential uses in areas such as bio-imaging, sensors, and solar cells. They are considered environmentally friendly and cost-effective, as they can be made from abundant materials like carbon sources such as organic waste or carbon powders. Their ability to emit light and interact with biological systems makes them valuable in advanced technological and medical applications.
