Quantum dots (QDs) refer to semiconductor nanoparticles with a size smaller than the Bohr radius of the exciton and exhibiting quantum confinement effects. Due to the quantum confinement effect, the fluorescence emission of quantum dots is related to their diameter and chemical composition. By compounding with semiconductor surfaces, their optical and photochemical properties can be enhanced. Trad...

Synthesis of Carbon Quantum Dots The synthesis of carbon quantum dots can be mainly divided into two categories: top-down method and bottom-up method. Through the pre-treatment, preparation, and subsequent processing, carbon quantum dots can be controlled in size, passivated on the surface, doped with heteroatoms, and nanocomposites to meet the requirements. Top-down approach Top down method: lase...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced aluminum composites with unique intragranular dispersion were obtained using ultra short carbon nanotubes, and nanoscale carbon nanotubes were uniformly distributed within ultrafine aluminum grains. Compared with typical CNT/Al composite materials with intergranular carbon nanotube dispersion, this intragranular carbon nanotube/aluminum composite material has str...
