Novel synthesis of high-thermal stability carbon dots and nanocomposites from oleic acid as an organic substrate

The synthesized CDs were found to exhibit excellent thermal stability within 800 °C. This result paves way for the study of a new class of organic nanoparticles which can be utilized in high-temperature environments.

Synthesis and characterization of Indian essential oil Carbon Dots for interdisciplinary applications

The profound antifungal activity, growth retarding potential and importantly, the antiproliferative nature allows us to endorse the multifaceted utility of CDs synthesized in this study.

Synthesis of tunable high-thermal stability carbon dots via functionalization for applications in high-temperature environment

The relation between the thermal stability and extent of esterification of functionalized liquid and anhydrous CDs was investigated and zeroed upon in this study.

Thermodynamic study of high thermal stability Carbon Dots

In this study the traditional thermodynamic properties that support the high thermal stability of CDs have been investigated.

Synthesis and characterization of oil carbon dots

In this study, peppermint CDs were synthesized from essential oil. The synthesis involved the use of bottom-up green pyrolysis method without using any additional reagents.

Review on electrochemical kinetics of carbon dots

The combination of CDs with traditional electrochemical materials has been found to alter the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. This mini-review aims to underline the notable results on the electrochemical kinetics of CDs.

Metal-free oleic acid-derived carbon dots as efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction

The synthesized CDs show excellent catalytic performance with overpotential of 1 mV at a current density of − 5 mA cm−2. The performance at this range marks a significant milestone and paves the way for a sustainable future of metal-free catalysis.
