Summary
This is a reflection article reviewing the authors' journey with carbon nanodots (CDs) used as inexpensive and environmentally friendly sensitizers in mesoscopic solar cells, specifically dye-sensitised solar cells. The article references their original work published in Nanoscale Horizons in 2016 (Margraf et al.), and appears to be a retrospective look at their research on carbon nanodots for solar energy applications.
