• for more detailed information [106]. Carbon nanodots are a new class of carbon nanomaterials and consist of discrete, quasipherical nanoparticles with sizes below 10 nm [107][108][109][110]. Since they have been reported on in 2004 for the first time [111], carbon dots have gradually become an

• important member in the nanocarbon family due to their benign, abundant and low-cost nature. As carbonaceous quantum dots, carbon nanodots display PL behavior dependent on their size and the excitation wavelength. In addition, carbon dots are also characterized by water solubility, chemical inertness and
