Abstract: Carbon quantum dots (CQD), is highly stable, biocompatible, and low toxic fluorescence nonomaterial that extensively used in different scientific disciplines such as design and construction of low-cost chemical and biological sensors, cell imaging, clinical diagnosing, and drug loading. Due to their optoelectronic properties, they have recently used in remediation studies as an alternative to or mixed with metal semiconductors. Having used CQD, an economic and green technique in environmental pollution remediation is introduced. Remediation happens through the ability of CQD composites in adsorption of pollutants or using its photo catalytic action. Herein, some recent applications in the environmental pollutant remediation are reviewed.
