Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted widespread attention because of their excellent properties and various preparation methods. Solvothermal methods have the advantages of simple operations, high product yields, and low costs, which have become the most commonly used methods to synthesize CDs. Understanding the effects of the solvent on the properties of CDs will allow the advantages of CDs to be fully utilized and promote their applications. This review summarizes the effects of reaction solvents on the morphology and properties of CDs, as well as the regulation mechanism of the dispersion solvent on the optical properties of CDs. On this basis, the applications of solvent-engineered CDs in sensing, imaging, optoelectronics and photocatalysis are introduced. Furthermore, we discuss the existing problems and prospects of solvent-engineered CDs.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
