Synthesis and physical characterization of carbon quantum dots from watermelon seed towards a biological application

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) incorporated into hydrogels are promising materials for drug delivery applications, especially wound dressings. Its green synthesis, using biomass such as watermelon seeds, offers important economic, environmental, and technological advantages. This aligns with the princip...
