These carbon dots establish an innovative technical framework by integrating dual "detection-remediation" functionalities through eco-friendly synthesis and high-value conversion of medicinal-edible plants and agroforestry waste. Their core advantages originate from structural templating effects induced by natural functional groups (polyphenols, amino acids) in plant precursors combined with heteroatom self-doping, which synergistically optimizes optical properties. This combination achieves quantum yields ranging from 3.06% to 84.9% and detection sensitivities spanning nanomolar to micromolar concentrations. In pollutant detection applications, P-CDs enable ultrasensitive identification of heavy metals (Hg^(2+) , Cu^(2+) , Fe^(3+) ) and organic contaminants (pesticides, antibiotics) through multi-mechanistic interactions including static quenching (SQ), dynamic quenching (DQ), and F rster resonance energy transfer (FRET). However, technological translation faces critical challenges including quantum yield heterogeneity (>40-fold variation), matrix interference in complex environmental samples (signal drift exceeding 12%), and scalability-related process inconsistencies. Future research priorities should focus on three key areas: standardization of synthesis protocols, development of surface passivation strategies ( e.g. , SiO_(2) encapsulation), and optimization of heterojunction designs to enhance interference resistance. The integration of in situ characterization techniques (particularly X-ray absorption spectroscopy) with machine learning-driven parameter optimization could significantly refine detection-remediation synergies. Concurrently, establishing a comprehensive lifecycle assessment framework becomes imperative for evaluating environmental impacts and scalability potential. This technology pioneers a sustainable paradigm for pollution control by bridging the gap between nanomaterial innovation and industrial deployment, thereby accelerating progress toward global ecological security objectives.展开更多
