“…Since the first isolation of C-dots from SWCNT by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in 2004 [2], the reports associated with analytical separation techniques of C-dots are emerging. Impressive successes in this area include not only electrophoresis [94,[102][103][104][105][106], but also chromatography [91, 95-97, 100, 101, 107-109], density gradient centrifugation [29], differential centrifugation [98,110], solvent extraction techniques [99,[111][112][113], and dialysis [20,21,87,98,114,115].…”
