碳点（cd）是一种新型的多功能碳纳米材料，具有支持向可持续生物经济转型的几个重要领域的革命性潜力。CDs具有光电和荧光特性可调、低毒性、良好的生物相容性、生物活性和优越的水溶性等优点。合成CDs的方法和前驱体多种多样。利用绿色化学原理大规模合成CDs的可能性是当前的研究热点，也是大规模生产和应用的前提。将CDs掺入聚合物基体是另一个具有广阔应用前景的新兴研究领域。这种方法提供了额外所需的功能，并且易于处理和重用。本文综述了近年来绿色合成CD的研究进展、构建CD/聚合物纳米复合材料的基本策略以及CD/聚合物纳米复合材料在储能、环境和生物医学等领域的应用现状。最后，对CD和CD/聚合物复合材料面临的挑战和未来的发展前景进行了展望。
Carbon dots (CDs), a novel family of multifunctional carbon-nanomaterials, has the potential to revolutionize several important fields supporting the transformation to sustainable bioeconomy. CDs are characterized by attractive properties such as tunable optoelectronic and fluorescence properties, low toxicity, good biocompatibility, bioactivity and superior water solubility. Diverse methods and precursors have been applied for the synthesis of CDs. The possibility to scale-up the synthesis of CDs by employing Green Chemistry principles is a current research hotspot and a prerequisite for large-scale production and applications. Incorporation of CDs into polymer matrices, is another emerging research area with wide potential application range. This approach endows additional desirable functions and enables easy handling and reuse. This review summarizes recent progress regarding the green synthesis of CDs, the fundamental strategies for the construction of CD/polymer nanocomposites and the state-of-art applications of the CD/polymer nanocomposites in the realm of energy storage, environment and biomedicine. Finally, the outlook including challenges and future potential of CDs and CD/polymer composites are discussed.
