Bioactive carbon dots have shown significant progress in biomedical therapeutics due to their unique physicochemical characteristics and exceptional biocompatibility. This work focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and biomedical evaluation of carbon dots (CDs) extracted from waste and discarded marigold flowers for wound healing applications. The synthesized CDs exhibited a uniform size distribution of 2-5 nm and a zeta potential of -15.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles are known to possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties and find wide application in the preparation of topical ointments. Wound dressings in the form of hydrogels can replenish the wound microenvironment to aid the healing process in a multidimensional way. We have fabricated a composite hydrogel using 1-3 wt.
