Abstract: Fluorescent nanomaterials based on carbon dots (Cdots) doped with several metals have been in increasing development for bioapplications.Green synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots has increased using different carbon sources, such as seeds, flowers, and roots, due to their possible environmental friendliness and relatively low cost.These Cdots have been doped, functionalized or encapsulated with different functional groups for specific applications.This work reports advanced nanomaterials based on Cdots synthesized using several carbon sources in the presence of the metals for textile applications.The fluorescence quantum yield () photophysical parameters are presented for some metal-doped Cdots as an important nanomaterial for several technological applications.These metal-based carbon dots materials can be used for photocatalytic degradation of textile dyes, minimizing waste in the textile industry, self-cleaning and antibacterial cotton fiber, and improving the properties of fabrics as potential antifungal and bactericidal agents for several bioapplications.An overview of different Cdots is presented in the presence of metals and other metallic nanoparticle composites developed to degrade dyes of interest in textile fabric production and textile engineering.
