Carbon materials are versatile. With the advent of analytical tools that can probe the nanoworld, new allotropic forms with unusual properties are being discovered. While fullerene, Carbon Nanotubes and graphene are nanoallotropic forms of carbon with hydrophobic nature as with any other carbon matierals, the newly found allotrope of carbon nanostructure, namely, Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are hydrophilic. Meaning their applications in real word and biological world are uncomprehendable. Recently, enormous funding is devoted to research into these carbon nanodots and their applications. This motivatives the speaker to conduct a workshop on this astounding material, namely, carbon Nano dots, their unusual properties and unconventional applications in the realms of catalysis, energy, environment, biomedicine, diagnosis and therapy.

Aim

The aim of this three-day virtual workshop is to explore the versatile domain of Carbon Nanodots (CNDs), focusing on their synthesis, functionalization, and broad range of applications. Participants will gain in-depth insights into the latest advancements in the production and use of CNDs, from hydrophilic and doped variants to biomass-derived and environmentally friendly versions. The workshop is designed to enhance understanding of CNDs’ role in fields such as bioimaging, drug delivery, photocatalysis, and sensing, emphasizing both innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
