TL;DR: A comprehensive overview on the synthesis of colloidal QDs prepared via chemical approaches in solution phase, with emphasis on green routes which possess the advantages of environment-friendly raw materials, simple operation process, and robust mass-scale production is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the photocatalytic performance of ZnO/SiO2 core/shell structured nanoparticles in Rhodamine B aqueous solution at varied pH value was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile and scalable approach to prepare fluorescent carbon dots (FCDs) via a one-pot reaction of citric acid with ethylenediamine at 150 °C under ambient air pressure was reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the preparation of sulfurized graphene (SG) nanomaterials by a well-developed ball-milling method, which exhibited flake-like morphology with average size of 100 nm, and the S doping (3.4 atom %) into the nanocarbon molecules results in asymmetry of electron density distribution, providing high catalytic performance for catalytic reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP by using NaBH4 as the reducer.

TL;DR: A green-synthesis route to NaYF4:Gd3+,Yb3+,Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) by using eco-friendly paraffin liquid, instead of 1-octadecene, as a high boiling non-coordinating solvent is devised to demonstrate the innovative design and development of high-performance multifunctional PDT agents.
