Abstract
Over the past decade, carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as some of the extremely popular carbon nanostructures for diverse applications. The advantages of sustainable CDs, characterized by their exceptional photoluminescence (PL), high water solubility/dispersibility, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility, substantiate their potential for a wide range of applications in sensing and biology. Moreover, nature offers plant- and animal-derived precursors for the sustainable synthesis of CDs and their doped variants. These sources are not only readily accessible, inexpensive, and renewable but are also environmentally benign green biomass. This review article presents in detail the production of sustainable CDs from various animal and human biomass through bottom-up synthetic methods, including hydrothermal, microwave, microwave-hydrothermal, and pyrolysis methods. The resulting CDs exhibit a uniform size distribution, possibility of heteroatom doping, surface passivation, and remarkable excitation wavelength-dependent/independent emission and up-conversion PL characteristics. Consequently, these CDs have been successfully utilized in multiple applications, such as bioimaging and the detection of various analytes, including heavy metal ions. Finally, a comprehensive assessment is presented, highlighting the prospects and challenges associated with animal/human biomass-derived CDs for multifaceted applications.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization and manufacturing expansion have caused heavy metal pollution, which is a critical environmental issue faced by global population. In addition, the disadvantages presented by conventional detection methods such as the requirement of sophisticated instruments and qualified personnel have led to the development of novel nanosensors. Recently, carbon dots (CDs) have been presented as a multifunctional nanomaterial alternative for the accurate detection of heavy metal ions in water systems. The capacity of CDs to detect contaminants in wastewater -including heavy metals- can be found in the literature; however, to the best of our knowledge, none of them discusses the most recent strategies to enhance their performance. Therefore, in this review, beyond presenting successful examples of the use of CDs for the detection of metal ions, we further discuss the strategies to enhance their photoluminescence properties and their performance for environmental monitoring. In this manner, strategies such as heteroatom-doping and surface passivation are reviewed in detail, as well as describing the mechanisms and the effect of precursors and synthesis methods. Finally, the current challenges are described in detail to propose some recommendations for further research.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions are one of the primary causes of environmental pollution. A marshal effect of heavy metal ions is a paramount ultimatum to humans, aquatic animals and other organisms present in nature. Multitude arrays of materials have been proclaimed for sensing of heavy metal ions and also many methodologies are applied for heavy metal ion sensing. Due to their toxicity and non-biodegradability, it is required to be perceived immediately prior to its manifestation of harmful effects. Quantum Dots (QDs) are zero-dimensional nanomaterial particles and owing to their distinctive optical and electronic properties, they are utilized as nanosensors. QDs have enriched fluorescence properties which includes broad excitation spectrum, narrow emission spectrum and photostability. QDs offer eclectic and sensitive detection of heavy metal ions due to presence of discrete capping agents and different functional groups present on the surface of the QDs. These capping layers and functional groups attune the sensing capability of the QDs, which leverages the interactions of QDs with various analytes by different mechanisms. This review, comprising of papers from 2011 to 2020,focuses on heavy metal ions sensing potential of various quantum dots and its applicability as a nanosensor for on field heavy metal ions detection in water. Quantum Dots (QDs) based Heavy Metal Detection.

Abstract
The dual functional detection and removal of heavy ion metals by carbon dots has become an urgent matter of concern. Here, a unique fluorescent carbon dot-magnetic nanocomposite (Fe3O4/CDs) was prepared by hydrothermal methods for sensitive detection of Hg2+. The Fe3O4/CDs serve as fluorescent probes with higher selectivity and sensitivity for Hg2+, with the lowest detectable limit of 0.3 nM. Hg2+ statically quenched the blue emission of Fe3O4/CDs, which can be restored in the presence of saturated EDTA solution. The utilization of Fe3O4/CDs was fulfilled by recovering their emission conveniently. The recovery of Hg2+ in Chagan Lake water, tap water and drinks was calculated at 96.5 ~ 108.8%, which demonstrates the feasibility of the Fe3O4/CDs sensing system in natural samples. Notably, the Fe3O4/CDs can drive the effective removal of Hg2+ from samples, which is of outstanding significance as a promising probe in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Exploit of biomass as an inexhaustible resource has accepted much more curiosity to the present research world. Herein, a simple, one-step solvothermal action has been used to synthesize an ascendable amount of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with an average size of~3.13 nm, from Low-reasonable and green source lychee waste. The excitation/emission maxima of CDs have 365/443 nm with high quantum yield (23.5%). The present ingredient predominantly contained carboxylic acid and hydroxyl group that acted as a passive agent for stabilizing the CDs. The structural and optical properties were evaluated through HRTEM, FTIR, UV-vis, zeta potential, XPS, fluorescence, and fluorescence lifetime experiments. We investigated the manoeuvre of our synthesized CDs as a probe for detection of Fe3+ ions in water bodies; This sensing approach showed impressive selectivity and sensitivity towards Fe3+ions with LOD 23.6 nM. The sensing mechanism took place through static quenching which was entrenched through fluorescence lifetime measurements. Fe3+ ions detection was basically carried out with efficacy in real water. For its lofty Photo-stability, low cytotoxicity and cell viability the probe were substantially applied for bio-imaging experiment i.e. intracellular multi-color cell imaging in skin melanoma cells (A375 cells) with and without Fe3+ ions exemplifying its real applications in living cells.

Abstract
Over the span of the past decade, carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from renewable organic resources (organic CDs) have gathered a considerable amount of attention for their photoluminescent properties. This review will focus on organic CDs synthesized using clean chemistry and conventional synthetic chemistry from organic sources and their fluorescence mechanisms, such as quantum confinement effect and surface/edge defects, before outlining their performance in electronic applications, including organic photovoltaic devices, organic light-emitting devices, biosensors, supercapacitors, and batteries. The various organic resources and methods of organic CDs synthesis are briefly covered. Many challenges remain before the adoption of CDs can become widespread; their characterization, structure, functionality, and exact photoluminescent mechanism all require additional research. This review aims to summarize the current research outcomes and highlight the area where further research is needed to fully use these materials.
