Since their discovery (or one might rather call “first synthesis”) approximately 10 years ago, carbon quantum dots (first identified as “carbon nanoparticles”, but later adopted the term “Carbon - Dots”, evoking similarities to the widely studied inorganic “quantum dots”) and their structurally related cousins graphene quantum dots (abbreviated “GQDs”) have attracted significant and growing interest in both scientific and technology circles.
