Introduction

Nonmetallic Quantum Dots is a concise yet comprehensive exploration of non- metallic quantum dots and their growing importance in nanotechnology, environmental science, and biomedicine.

The book begins with the fundamentals of quantum dots, exploring the types, structure, properties, and historical development, followed by their role in water treatment and environmental remediation. It explores major nonmetallic quantum dots like carbon (CQDs), graphene (GQDs), boron nitride (BNQDs), silicon (SiQDs), sulphur (SQDs), and organic quantum dots (OQDs), focusing on their synthesis, properties, and functionalization.

The book highlights key applications supported by real-world case studies across water purification, photocatalysis, bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery, optoelectronics, energy storage, and antimicrobial systems, while also addressing surface modification, stability, toxicity, environmental impact, commercialisation challenges and future research directions.


Key Features

  • - Covers all major non-metallic types of quantum dots
  • - Clear explanations on synthesis, functionalization, and photocatalysis
  • - Insights into safety, toxicity, and commercialisation
  • - Case studies and future perspectives with applications in healthcare, environment, and energy systems

Target Readership:

Researchers, postgraduate students, and professionals in nanotechnology, materials sciences and chemistry.
