Carbon Quantum Dots With Tailored Heterogeneous Atoms
Editors: Surendran Pandiyan and Karthik Kannan
Carbon quantum dots with tailored heterogeneous atoms have emerged as a cutting-edge class of nanomaterials distinguished by their tunable electronic structures and versatile chemical functionalities. By introducing heteroatoms such as nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus, into the carbon lattice, researchers can precisely modulate the surface states and bandgap of carbon quantum dots, thereby enhancing their optical and electrical performance. This atomic-level engineering not only deepens the understanding of quantum confinement and defect chemistry in carbon-based nanostructures but also paves the way for advanced applications in bioimaging and energy conversion. As a result, heteroatom-doped carbon quantum dots represent a promising frontier in nanoscience. Carbon Quantum Dots With Tailored Heterogeneous Atoms explore carbon quantum dots that doped with heterogeneous atoms to enhance their properties. This book explains the intricate role of heteroatom doping in enhancing the functionality of carbon quantum dots. Covering topics such as nanotechnology, material science, and nitrogen atoms, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, industry professionals, scientists, and graduate students.
