Every material science research is enriched by the addition of carbon-based
materials. Carbon dots are a new type of luminescent nanoparticles that belong to
the carbon family and are currently gaining popularity. They have attracted broad
research interests because of their excellent physiochemical properties and
characteristics like low-cost synthesis, novel optical properties, nontoxicity,
biocompatibility, etc. Due to their multi-functionality, they are widely used in
various applications such as sensing, catalysis, bioimaging, security, anticounterfeiting, and optoelectronics. Since it is a recently explored material, its
challenges related to product yield, optical efficiency, and functionalization
remain problematic and open to research.
In this thesis work, various carbon dots have been obtained by exploring multiple
precursor categories: Proteins, Biomass, and organic. The precursors used are
non-toxic and free of rare earth elements and metals, making the prepared carbon
dots environmentally friendly and independent from problematic sources.
Different synthesis methods, such as microwave, hydrothermal, and heating, were
utilized to obtain a reasonably high yield. These methods are low-cost and
straightforward to manipulate. We targeted diverse applications for all our carbon
dots, thus making them a multifunctional nanomaterial. Examples of the various
applications demonstrated for the carbon dots include anticounterfeit, LEDs,
sensing, antibacterial, information encryption decryption, etc.
