Background Art

[0002] Carbon quantum dots (CDs) have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent photostability, small size, good biocompatibility, and tunable photoluminescence properties, making them attractive for applications in sensing, bioimaging, information encryption, and optoelectronic devices. Within carbon nanomaterial research, carbon-based, high-efficiency luminescent materials are not only the next technological frontier in optoelectronics but also offer an alternative to traditional semiconductor inorganic quantum dots (QDs).
