Recent zero-dimensional carbon dots (CDs) have dominated the world of nanomaterials due to their ease of synthesis and nature of their precursors. The aim of this study is to synthesize, characterize and evaluate cytotoxicity of CDs from agricultural waste CPH for its potential use in the bioimaging...
