碳量子点（CQDs）作为一类新型的碳纳米材料，因其成本低、毒性低、化学惰性强、水溶性好、易于功能化、合成路线简单等优点而受到人们的广泛关注。近年来，优异的光捕获能力和独特的光诱导电子转移能力极大地激发了CQDs在光催化应用中的前景。本文综述了近年来CQDs的研究进展，重点介绍了CQDs在光催化中的应用。详细讨论了用于提高其光催化活性的策略，包括掺杂，表面调制和复合结构的设计。此外，本文还提出了一些挑战和新方向，以促进这一令人兴奋和有前景的领域的进一步研究。
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), as a new class of carbon nanomaterials, have attracted considerable interest because of their low cost, low toxicity, chemical inertness, superiority in water solubility, ease of functionalization and simple synthetic routes. In recent years, the excellent light harvesting capability and unique photo‐induced electron transfer ability have greatly inspired the perspectives of CQDs in photocatalysis applications. Herein, a comprehensive overview on the recent progresses of CQDs with an emphasis on their applications in photocatalysis is presented. Strategies that have been employed to increase their photocatalytic activities are discussed in detail, including doping, surface modulation, and design of composite structures. Moreover, some perspectives on the challenges and new directions are proposed to stimulate further research into this exciting and promising field.
