Study on synthesis of carbon dots using carbon soot and activated charcoal / Zaty Nabila Mohamad Sulaiman

Nanoparticles have gained huge attention in many application fields. The current type of nanoparticles used is expensive such as gold nanoparticles. Carbon based materials are more preferable than gold in synthesizing the nanoparticles because it is cheap with unlimited resources. Fluorescent carbon...
