Carbon quantum dots (CQDs)/carbon nanodots are a new class of fluorescent carbon nanomaterials having an approximate size in the range of 2–10 nm. The majority of the reported review articles have discussed about the development of the CQDs (via simple and cost-effective synthesis methods) for use in bio-imaging and chemical-/biological-sensing applications. However, there is a severe lack of consolidated studies on the recently developed CQDs (especially doped/co-doped) that are utilized in different areas of application. Hence, in this review, we have extensively discussed about the recent development in doped and co-doped CQDs (using elements/heteroatoms—e.g., boron (B), fluorine (F), nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), and phosphorous (P)), along with their synthesis method, reaction conditions, and/or quantum yield (QY), and their emerging multi-potential applications including electrical/electronics (such as light emitting diode (LED) and solar cells), fluorescent ink for anti-counterfeiting, optical sensors (for detection of metal ions, drugs, and pesticides/fungicides), gene delivery, and temperature probing.

We performed photocurrent measurements on GaAs-type-A (Esaki–Tsu-type) doping superlattices produced by a δ-doping technique (impurity growth mode) using a new kind of p- and n-contact on a 500 μm × 500 μm mesa plane. We measured, for the first time, a monotonically increased photocurrent below the gap of the host material with horizontal plateaus, as expected for two-dimensional systems. This is the direct confirmation of the two-dimensional nature of this kind of superlattice. In this context, the influence of the contact distance on the photocurrent response is discussed showing that, in contrast to the general case, a variation of the distance between the contacts not only results in a scaling of the photocurrent spectra but changes the complete shape of the photocurrent response for these two-dimensional structures. The possible energetic transitions between the valence band and the conduction band below the gap of the host material, causing the absorption of the doping superlattice, are calculated and explained with an analytical theory. Furthermore, a comparison with other previously performed numerical calculations shows the limits of validity of the analytical calculations presented here.

A novel two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials was prepared through a facile hydrothermal method, using glucose as the carbon precursor and sodium borohydride as the structure directing agent. The application of as-obtained carbon nanomaterials after annealing in inert atmosphere as the anode of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) was explored. The results demonstrate the carbon nanomaterials can exhibit more excellent lithium storage properties with high capacity and superior rate properties than the graphite as a kind of common anode materials.

The study compares the syntheses of carbon nanostructures (CNS) using polyethylene (PE) and Rice husk (RH) as carbon precursor via commercial microwave oven at 2.45 GHz. The Microwave energy offers the requisite temperature for catalytic disintegration of the carbon precursors at 750 °C under atmospheric pressure. The CNS were grown on coated silicon dioxide. The as-synthesized CNS was analysed with Raman spectroscopy which shows carbon quality was found to be 0.92 and 1.01 in PE and RH respectively, indicating good graphitic nature with average diameter at (16.0 to 20.0) ± 0.5 nm. The high intensity ratio is attributed to the defect mode in the CNS. The Field Emission Scanning Microscope (FESEM) analysis shows a warped and randomly oriented structures with an interlayer spacing of about 0.35 nm in the internal structure of most CNS. Furthermore, the level of purity in the graphitic nature of the CNS were obtained with Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) technique with 90 % in PE and 50 % in RH. Hence, a fast and cheaper method of synthesizing CNS utilizing microwave energy was demonstrated at 750 °C under atmospheric pressure. Lastly, the presence of catalyst, carbon precursors and plasma are necessary for the microwave heating and synthesis process.
