In this review, we summarize recent work on the "green synthesis" of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and their application with a focus on biomedical applications. Recent developments in the green synthesis of carbon nanoparticles, from renewable precursors and their application for environmental, energy-storage and medicinal applications are discussed. CNPs, especially carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and graphene, have demonstrated utility as high-density energy storage media, environmental remediation materials and in biomedical applications. Conventional fabrication of CNPs can entail the use of toxic catalysts; therefore, we discuss low-toxicity manufacturing as well as sustainable and environmentally friendly methodology with a focus on utilizing readily available biomass as the precursor for generating CNPs.
在这篇综述中，我们总结了碳纳米粒子（CNPs）的“绿色合成”及其在生物医学应用中的应用的最新进展。讨论了从可再生前体到碳纳米粒子的绿色合成及其在环境、储能和药用方面的应用的最新进展。CNPs，特别是碳纳米管（CNTs）、碳量子点（CQDs）和石墨烯，已被证明可作为高密度储能介质、环境修复材料以及在生物医学应用中使用。传统的碳纳米粒子的制造可能需要使用有毒的催化剂；因此，我们讨论了低毒性制造以及可持续和环保的方法，重点是利用现成的生物质作为生成碳纳米粒子的前体。
