Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Carbon materials have revolutionized the scientific community due to their exceptional properties, including high chemical stability, low cost, and availability from various sources. They have been extensively utilized in a wide range of applications, such as energy storage, catalysis, biosensors, high-flux membranes, etc. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in carbon materials with nanostructures, as they offer unique physicochemical properties that are distinct from their bulk counterparts. Nanostructured carbon materials have garnered significant attention due to their small size and unique nanostructures. These materials exhibit exceptional properties at the nanoscale, such as high surface area, unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, and tunable chemical reactivity, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

In this Special Issue, we focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of advanced carbon-based nanomaterials, such pure carbon nanomaterials, carbon/metal oxides nanocomposites, and carbon/metal nanocomposites, and so on, including their various application in different fields. We welcome original articles, short communications and systematic reviews that report on the fabrication, development, or application of such carbon-based nanomaterials.

Tuning the optical properties of carbon dots (CDs) and figuring out the mechanisms underneath the emissive phenomena have been one of the most cutting-edge topics in the development of carbon-based nanomaterials. Dual-emissive CDs possess the intrinsic dual-emission character upon single-wavelength excitation, which significantly benefits their multi-purpose applications. Explosive exploitations of dual-emissive CDs have been reported during the past five years. Nevertheless, there is a lack of a systematic summary of the rising star nanomaterial. In this review, we summarize the synthesis strategies and optical mechanisms of the dual-emissive CDs. The applications in the areas of biosensing, bioimaging, as well as photoelectronic devices are also outlined. The last section presents the main challenges and perspectives in further promoting the development of dual-emissive CDs. By covering the most vital publications, we anticipate that the review is of referential significance for researchers in the synthesis, characterization, and application of dual-emissive CDs.
