“…As the bottom-up pathway is attractive due its simple application and easily tunable properties ( Chahal et al., 2021 ), it has been the main approach to obtain CDs ( da Júnior et al., 2021 ). Here the small size components (organic molecular precursors) are self-assembled by physical or chemical processes ( Kashani et al., 2019 ; Baragau et al., 2021 ; Li et al., 2021b ) such as hydrothermal, solvothermal, pyrolysis, combustion, microwave-assisted, or electrochemical process to promote the interaction and the formation of CDs ( Shaker et al., 2020 ; Deng et al., 2021 ; Hou et al., 2021 ; Xu et al., 2021 ).…”

“…In fact, most organic compounds rich in carbon atoms can be used as raw material for the synthesis of CQDs [ 49 ]. According to previous studies, CQDs have been produced from various natural carbon sources such as citric acid, denatured milk, dried leaves, broccoli, food waste, pomelo fruit, ginkgo leaf, grass, humic acid, ascorbic acid, gelatin and straw [ 44 , 50 , 51 ].…”

Nanotechnology is a dynamically developing field of science, due to the unique physical, chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. Innovative structures using nanotechnology have found application in diverse fields: in agricultural and food industries, where they improve the quality and safety of food; in medical and biological sciences; cosmetology; and many other areas of our lives. In this article, a particular attention is focused on carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene, as well as carbon nanotubes and carbon quantum dots that have been successfully used in biotechnology, biomedicine and broadly defined environmental applications. Some properties of carbon nanomaterials prevent their direct use. One example is the difficulty in synthesizing graphene-based materials resulting from the tendency of graphene to aggregate. This results in a limitation of their use in certain fields. Therefore, in order to achieve a wider use and better availability of nanoparticles, they are introduced into matrices, most often polysaccharides with a high hydrophilicity. Such composites can compete with synthetic polymers. For this purpose, the carbon-based nanoparticles in polysaccharides matrices were characterized. The paper presents the progress of ground-breaking research in the field of designing innovative carbon-based nanomaterials, and applications of nanotechnology in diverse fields that are currently being developed is of high interest and shows great innovative potential.

“…That is excitation by light of long wavelength and low frequency, light of short wavelength and high frequency is emitted. [ 26 ] The upconversion PL mechanism is anti‐Stokes luminescence. [ 27 ] When low energy light excites the electrons in the π orbitals, the π electrons are lifted to a higher energy state and then fall back to the lower energy σ state, and upconversion PL occurs.…”

Green chemistry is currently attracting more and more attention due to its eco‐friendly, and green carbon dots (g‐CDs) are creating a research boom. The g‐CDs have huge application prospects in analysis and detection due to their excellent optical properties, high biocompatibility, and low toxicity compared to other fluorescent materials. Based on the study of g‐CDs, the optical properties, synthesis methods, surface modification methods, and sensing mechanisms of g‐CDs are outlined, and the application in analysis and detection of environmental, food, biomolecules, and other organic small molecules are reviewed. At the same time, the challenges faced by g‐CDs are outlined. This review provides valuable references for further research and wider application of g‐CDs.
