Distinct from conventional carbon nanostructures, such as fullerene, graphene, and carbon nanotubes, carbon nanodots (C-dots) exhibit unique properties such as strong fluorescence, high photostability, chemical inertness, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. Various synthetic routes for C-dots have been developed in the last few years, and now intense research efforts have been focused on improving their functionality. In this aspect, doping and surface functionalization are two major ways to control the chemical, optical, and electrical properties of C-dots. Doping introduces atomic impurities into C-dots to modulate their electronic structure, and surface functionalization modifies the C-dot surface with functional molecules or polymers. In this review, we summarize recent progress in doping and surface functionalization of C-dots for improving their functionality, and offer insight into controlling the properties of C-dots for a variety of applications ranging from biomedicine to optoelectronics to energy.

Herein, r,2 is the radius of the conducting channel, r,2 << r.1 and r13, and the outside radius of all sections are equal, A multi-gap multi-channel(MGMC) switch of 500 ro1 = ro2 = rO3, the inductance of the entire spark gap is, kV has been developed at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory therefore, approximately (PAL). It consists of ten of gaps to increase self-discharge voltage by filling up the gas. A structure of a multi-gap L _ FrO2 1(2) switch can increase its inductances. Thus, in order to sg a 2-7 * L >r ( solve those problems its structure made by multi-channels 2 had been designed to decrease the inductance effects. The where La iS the arc channel inductance. The small arc fabricated switch tested using marx generator of 500 kV. channel diameter results in a relatively large inductance,The design concept and its characteristics will be nearly independent of the external conductor geometries.discussed. For this reason, multiple, parallel arc channel spark gaps are commonly used to increase the effective radius of
