Description
Carbon nanodots (CNDs), the newest member of the carbon-based nanomaterial family, are also among the most promising for the development of unique, cutting-edge applications. They are regarded as a rising star among nanomaterials due to their singular and unmatched physicochemical and photoluminescent capabilities. Numerous applications built on CNDs have been created during the past 10 years. Carbon dots exhibit ease of functionalization, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, photostability, and favorable photoluminescence and water solubility properties. Due to these distinctive characteristics, they find extensive applications in live cell imaging, catalysis, electronics, biosensing, power systems, targeted drug delivery, and various other biomedical fields. This chapter examines the most recent advancements in carbon dot nanomedicine, including their application as imaging agents and drug transporters. Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
