Background:

Carbon dots (CDs) are novel fluorescent nanomaterials (<10 nm) with unique structures and optoelectronic properties.
Typically synthesized from natural or synthetic precursors, CDs often lack diverse active sites due to uniform surface groups.

Purpose of the Study:

To review strategies for surface modification of carbon dots.
To address limitations of primitive CDs regarding functional group diversity and application-specific requirements.

Main Methods:

Review of covalent and non-covalent surface functionalization techniques for carbon dots.
Analysis of methods to enhance photophysical and photochemical properties through surface modification.

Main Results:

Surface functionalization significantly improves the properties of carbon dots.
Modification strategies introduce unique characteristics and expand the applicability of CDs.

Conclusions:

Surface modification is a key strategy to overcome limitations of pristine carbon dots.
Functionalized carbon dots offer tailored properties for a broader range of applications.
