Abstract
Sulfur doped carbon dots (SCDs) are being evolved as one of the rising stars due to their marvelous properties i.e. distinctive physical and chemical features, stability, ease of synthesis, cost-effectiveness and green nature, which make them suitable for their wide applications in various fields, including sensing, bio-medical, photocatalysis, corrosion inhibition, food safety, etc. The introduction of sulfur containing groups in addition to natural surface moieties such as –C = O, –COOH, –OH, –OR etc. enables them as a potential candidate for above-mentioned applications. This review targets the role of SCDs in various applications and the chemistry behind these applications. Furthermore, SCDs have also been critically evaluated for their limitations for future improvements.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sulfur Chemistry is an international journal for the dissemination of scientific results in the rapidly expanding realm of sulfur chemistry. The journal publishes high quality reviews, full papers and communications in the following areas: organic and inorganic chemistry, industrial chemistry, materials and polymer chemistry, biological chemistry and interdisciplinary studies directly related to sulfur science.
Papers outlining theoretical, physical, mechanistic or synthetic studies pertaining to sulfur chemistry are welcome. Hence the target audience is made up of academic and industrial chemists with peripheral or focused interests in sulfur chemistry. Manuscripts that truly define the aims of the journal include, but are not limited to, those that offer: a) innovative use of sulfur reagents; b) new synthetic approaches to sulfur-containing biomolecules, materials or organic and organometallic compounds; c) theoretical and physical studies that facilitate the understanding of sulfur structure, bonding or reactivity; d) catalytic, selective, synthetically useful or noteworthy transformations of sulfur containing molecules; e) industrial applications of sulfur chemistry; f) unique sulfur atom or molecule involvement in interfacial phenomena; g) descriptions of solid phase or combinatorial methods involving sulfur containing substrates. Submissions pertaining to related atoms such as selenium and tellurium are also welcome. Articles offering routine heterocycle formation through established reactions of sulfur containing substrates are outside the scope of the journal.
