| description | Carbon dots are small carbon-based particles with unique properties that make them useful in various applications. Some advantages include low toxicity, bio-compatibility, excellent photo luminescence, high stability, and ease of synthesis. These features make them promising for biomedical imaging, drug delivery, and optoelectronic devices. Carbon dots derived from plants have several advantages, including their low toxicity, biocompatibility, and renewable sources. They also have excellent water solubility and high stability and can be easily synthesized using simple and low-cost methods. These properties make them promising candidates for various biomedicine, sensing, and imaging applications. Plant-based carbon dots have shown great potential in metal sensing and bio-imaging applications. They can act as efficient sensors for detecting heavy metals due to their strong chelation and fluorescence properties. This article showcases plant-based carbon dots, emphasizing their low toxicity, biocompatibility, renewability, and potential in metal sensing and bio-imaging. It aims to illustrate their versatile applications and ongoing research for broader use. The current investigation explores their full potential and develops new synthesis and application methods. |
