Sensing applications of luminescent carbon based dots

Abstract

Carbon based dots (CDs) including carbon quantum dots and graphene quantum dots exhibit unique luminescence properties, such as photoluminescence (PL), chemiluminescence (CL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL). This review summarizes the sensing application of the CDs taking advantage of their luminescence properties. The working principle, merits, and prospects of CD based sensors are presented.
