Article Abstract
Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) have been around for a few decades. Low cell toxicity, good water solubility, excellent and tunable fluorescence properties, and the ability to dope and modify the surface of these CQDs make them an incredible choice for the visualization and treatment of various cancers. This perspective analyzes some recent progress on size-color correlation, modification, and cancer treatment applications of CQDs. Synthesis and modification of CQDs to make them more efficient and more biocompatible are essential to their bioapplications.

This review delivers a focused and critical evaluation of recent progress in the green synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), with particular attention to state-of-the-art approaches utilizing renewable biomass as precursors. The main objective is to systematically examine innovative, environmentally friendly methods and clarify their direct influence on the core properties and photocatalytic performance of CQDs. The novelty of this review stems from its comprehensive comparison of green synthetic pathways, revealing how specific processes determine key structural, optical, and electronic attributes of the resulting CQDs.

The rational design of non-precious metal catalysts as a replacement for Pd is of great importance for catalyzing various important chemical reactions. To realize this purpose, the palladium-like superatom NbN was doped into a defective graphene quantum dot (GQD) model with a double-vacancy site to design a novel single superatom catalyst, namely, NbN@GQD, based on density functional theory (DFT), and its catalytic activity for the Suzuki reaction was theoretically investigated. Our results reveal that this designed catalyst exhibits satisfactory activity with a small rate-limiting energy barrier of 25.

Inverted quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) show great promise for next-generation displays due to their compatibility with integrated circuit architectures. However, their development has been hindered by inefficient exciton utilization and charge transport imbalance. Here, we present a strategy for regulating charge-exciton dynamics through the rational design of a multifunctional hole transport layer (HTL), incorporating polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) as a protective interlayer in fully-solution-processed inverted red QLEDs.

III-V semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as a benign alternative to II-VI and IV-VI NCs, which are restricted due to the toxicity of the comprising elements. While InP NCs advanced significantly, the development of infrared-emitting InAs NCs has been relatively slow-paced. This is due to the synthetic challenges arising from the highly covalent bonding in InAs and the limited range of available arsenic sources.
