Graphene Quantum Dots: Biomedical and Environmental Sustainability Applications
provides an overview of fundamentals and advances in applications of
graphene quantum dots. Concepts covered include a brief introduction on
the topic, an overview of structure and chemistry, fundamental
properties of different characterization techniques, methods for the
preparation of graphene quantum dots, and recent and emerging
applications in various fields including antimicrobial therapy,
bioimaging, biomedical tools development and clean energy for
environmental sustainability. The book is a critical resource in
materials selection for biomedical and environmental sustainability
applications as well as various advanced imaging, disinfectant and
environmental remediation technologies.
As such, it
is suitable for those in academia working in the discipline of materials
science and engineering and practitioners working on biomedical tool
development and environmental remediation.
- Covers the basic properties of graphene quantum dots and methods of fabrication of these materials
- Discusses
most of the major biomedical and environmental remediation applications
of graphene-based quantum dots, including biomedical tool development,
clean energy and environmental sustainability
- Addresses
the remaining barriers to product development and commercial
translation and the advances in research that may resolve these
challenges
