Abstract

Carbon dots (CDs) represent a next-generation class of materials with immense potential for various biomedical applications. Their unique combination of optical properties, biocompatibility, and tunable surface chemistry positions them as versatile tools for bioimaging, drug delivery, biosensing, and photothermal therapy. As researchers continue to explore and refine the properties of carbon dots, these nanomaterials are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of biomedical technologies. The future of carbon dots in biomedical applications appears promising with ongoing research focusing on enhancing their properties and expanding their functionalities. Further advancements in surface engineering and functionalization strategies will likely lead to the development of CDs with improved stability, specificity, and tailored functionalities for targeted applications. © 2024, IGI Global.
