The photoluminescence in carbon dots (surface-passivated small carbon nanoparticles) could be quenched efficiently by electron acceptor or donor molecules in solution, namely that photo-excited carbon dots are both excellent electron donors and excellent electron acceptors, thus offering new opportunities for their potential uses in light energy conversion and related applications.

• Laser synthesis and size tailor of carbon quantum dots (2011, background): “2009a, b), C-dots also exhibit many interesting properties, such as photoinduced electron transfer, redox and ‘two-photon excitation absorption (Baker and Baker 2010; Wang et al. 2009; Li et al. 2010).”
