Abstract
the quantum confinement effect, surface defects, and molecular fluorescence. The surface functional moieties of C-dots have been investigated in depth to recognize the various types of pharmaceutical drugs that are used for the treatment of patients. The modulation of C-dot fluorescence in the course of their interactions with these drugs has been carefully explained. Different types of interaction mechanisms behind the C-dot fluorescence alteration have been discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of C-dots have been proposed for the vibrant field development of C-dot-based drug sensors.
