Novel selenium-doped carbon quantum dots derived from algae effectively enhanced the delivery and accumulation of selenium in tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum) via foliar application

Abstract

Nano-selenium (Se) fertilizers and their foliar application are promising strategies for improving the efficiency of Se supplement in agricultural practices. Here, we synthesized novel Se-doped carbon quantum dots (Se-CQDs) from...

Selenium-doped carbon materials: synthesis and applications for sustainable technologies

“…Interestingly, Se-CQDs have been proposed even as a fertilizer for improving Se delivery to plants. 100 Nevertheless, due to their unique size and structure, heteroatom-doped CQDs are beyond the scope of this review, and readers are referred to excellent review papers devoted exclusively to this specific topic.
