Show more >Carbon-based quantum particles, especially spherical carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and nanosheets like graphene quantum dots (GQDs), are an emerging class of quantum dots with unique properties owing to their quantum confinement effect. Many reviews appeared recently in the literature highlightening their optical properties, structures, and applications. These papers cover a broad spectrum of carbon-based nanoparticles excluding a more detailed discussion about some important aspects related to the definition of carbon-based particles and the correlation of optical and electrochemical aspects in relation to sensing and biomedical applications. A large part of this review is devoted to these aspects. It aims in particular to act as a bridge between optical and electrochemical aspects of carbon-based quantum particles, both of which are associated with the electronic nature of carbon-based quantum particles. A special focus will be on their use in electroanalysis notably their benefits in redox and electrochemical analysis with emphases on their applicants as sensors. Electroanalysis is an easy and cost-effective means to give qualitatively and quantitatively information of a specific analyte in solution in a time scale of some minutes. The integration of carbon-based quantum particles into these detection schemes as well as their incorporation into composite nanomaterials has large improved detection limits with possibilities for their integration of for point-of-care devices up to personalized medicine. This review will emphasis on some of these aspects but will also include nanomedical aspects of carbon-based quantum particles, ultimately correlated for such developments.Show less >
