Towards crystalline carbon dots for improved application potential

Abstract

Present thesis addresses that apart from being a good optical material carbon dots Cdots can be highly crystalline in nature turning them into a quality nano material for energy storage and conversion The aim of this thesis is to pursue detailed investigations on the structural characteristics of Cdots In this thesis we try to pinpoint on probing the hetero atom doping which influenced the photophysical property of Cdots through surface modifications and heteroatom induced structural arra...
