Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials that have been subject of considerable interest due to their remarkable electronic and optical characteristics. Their adjustable properties have gathered attention in different fields, including biological sensing, drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, photocatalysis, solar cells, and latent fingerprint development. In forensic science, the frequently reported outstanding photoluminescence behavior and biocompatibility of CDs are particularly important. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review was to assess the reliability of the results presented in studies proposing CD-based solutions for latent fingerprint development. By standardizing procedures, forensic science guidelines are valuable references that provide a framework for comparing new development materials with established ones. These publications were used to generate key points that allowed for a more objective evaluation of the reviewed studies. Our analysis revealed that most of the studies were conducted under rather limited conditions, with significant potential for bias in the presentation and evaluation of the new results achieved by the new CD-based developmental materials.
碳点(CD)是一种零维碳纳米材料,因其显著的电子和光学特性而备受关注。它们的可调节性能在生物传感、药物输送、光动力疗法、光催化、太阳能电池和潜指纹开发等不同领域引起了人们的关注。在法医学中,经常报道的 CD 的出色光致发光性能和生物相容性尤为重要。因此,本系统综述的目的是评估提出基于光盘的潜伏指纹显现解决方案的研究结果的可靠性。通过标准化程序,法医学指南是宝贵的参考资料,为比较新的显影材料和已有材料提供了框架。我们利用这些出版物生成要点,以便对所审查的研究进行更客观的评估。我们的分析表明,大多数研究都是在相当有限的条件下进行的,在介绍和评价基于 CD 的新显影材料所取得的新成果时,很可能会出现偏差。
