Carbon quantum dots are nanometer-sized carbon-based materials that exhibit ... were used to analyze the morphology of the CQDs. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to identify ...

Quantum dots are among the more well-known nanocrystals, not only for their wide commercial uses but for the recent 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry given to the team that discovered them.

Quantum dots – nanoparticles of semiconductors – were first theorized in the 1970s and then successfully synthesized in the early 1980s. When semiconductor particles are made small enough, they ...

A novel photocatalyst with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was incorporated into electrospun PA66 ...
