“…The appropriate properties, i.e., pyrolyzation at high temperature and oxygenolysis with concentrated acid, carbonization, oxidation, polymerization and nucleation are needed during peels treatment to synthesize CDs [ 14 ]. CDs have shown a promising potential for applications in biomedical to energy storage devices, determination of pathogens, environmental studies, detection of heavy metals and additives in the food and water purification processes ( Table 3 ) [ 75 , 76 ].…”

Fruits and vegetables are the highly used food products amongst the horticultural crops. These items are consumed uncooked, nominally cooked or fully cooked, according to their nature and cooking process. With the change in diet habits and rising population, the production, as well as the processing of horticultural crops, has exponentially improved to meet its increasing demand. A large amount of peel waste is generated from fruit and vegetable-based industries and household kitchen and has led to a big nutritional and economic loss and environmental problems. Processing of fruits and vegetables alone generates a significant waste, which amounts to 25–30% of the total product. Most common wastes include pomace, peels, rind and seeds, which are highly rich in valuable bioactive compounds such as carotenoids, enzymes, polyphenols, oils, vitamins and many other compounds. These bioactive compounds show their application in various industries such as food to develop edible films, food industries for probiotics and other industries for valuable products. The utilization of these low-cost waste horticultural wastes for producing the value-added product is a novel step in its sustainable utilization. The present review intends to summarize the different types of waste originating from fruits as well as vegetables peels and highlight their potential in developing edible films, probiotics, nanoparticles, carbon dots, microbial media, biochar and biosorbents.

“…These qualities are owed to the characteristics of the carbon element at nano-dimension and five valence electrons to bind carbon atoms [31,41]. The green and sustainable carbons dots refer to CDs that are synthesized from agro and biomaterials that can be readily available without depleting their sources [42].…”

New ways of synthesizing organic-based fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) are required in environmental application. This is crucial for mitigation and control of pollutants without increasing the risk of releasing byproduct pollutants as the case with non-organic (metallic) quantum based substrate. Notably, this study provides current research on sustainable synthesis of CDs and their applications through analytical concept of recent and advance techniques for efficient and optimized processes. New scrutinized methods of synthesis and applications of CDs are beneficial and essential to optimize the state-of-art practices. The value distilled in this study adds to the field of sustainable production and application of CDs.

“…Over the last 15 years, CDs have been synthesized with different approaches (i.e., top-down and bottom-up). However, only recently, sustainable precursors and methodologies have been deeply investigated for their production [45,46]. These approaches look for sustainable materials which are low-cost, scalable, industrially and economically attractive, and based on renewable and highly abundant resources.…”

Carbon Dots as a Sustainable New Platform for Organic Light Emitting Diode

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the past 10 years, carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from renewable raw materials have received considerable attention in several fields for their unique photoluminescent properties. Moreover, the synthesis of CDs fully responds to the principles of circular chemistry and the concept of safe-by-design. This review will focus on the different strategies for incorporation of CDs in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and on the study of the impact of CDs properties on OLED performance. The main current research outcomes and highlights are summarized to guide users towards full exploitation of these materials in optoelectronic applications.
