Abstract

Carbon Dots (CDs) were the emerging carbon-based fluorescent nanomaterial, zero-dimensional structure with size less than 20nm. It has a wide application in different fields due to its unique structure and incredible properties. Recently, scientists were experimenting the CDs in the field of biological sensing, drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, photocatalysis, and solar cells. In this review we discussed about the CDs and its synthesis method, application in the field of drug delivery and bioimaging with live tracking in cancerous cell. Further, we discussed about how the CDs is efficient in drug delivery and sensing the apoptotic cells due to the immense properties like photostability, high brightness, prominent biocompatibility, and spontaneous penetration capabilities.
