Carbon dot nanomaterials (CDNs) have emerged as a significant class of nanomaterials with a broad spectrum of applications in various fields. These remarkably fluorescent nanoparticles exhibit unique optical, electronic, and catalytic properties that stem from their inherent structure and surface chemistry. The tunable size, shape, and composi

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed from metal ions and carboxylate chains, have emerged as a class of highly crystalline materials with tunable properties. Nickel, owing to its {redoxadaptability, has proven to be a popular component for MOF synthesis. This review comprehensively explores the recent advances in nickel-based MOF synthesis,

Quantum dots (QDs) are quantum nanostructures with unique optical and electronic properties that make them highly desirable for a variety of applications. However, their full potential can be further maximized by modifying their surfaces to achieve specific functionalities. Surface modification allows for the binding of functional groups or ligands
