Abstract
Carbon dots CDs a new class of fluorescent materials have recently attracted considerable research interest CDs have overcome some defects of traditional nanomaterial In addition to their small size and optical properties CDs have the excellent advantages of good biocompatibility and are easy to achieve surface functionalization Since this discovery CDs can be widely used in the field of biochemical sensing and environmental testing This article reviews the progress in the research and development of CDs on their syntheses applications for the fluorescence detection and possible mechanisms Finally we have an outlook of the research trends and future prospects of CDs
