Siyu Lu is a professor of the College of Chemistry, Zhengzhou University. He received his Ph.D. degree in polymer physics and chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Bai Yang at Jilin University. His research interests relate to the design, preparation, properties of photoelectric nanocrystals (carbon dots, semiconductors, etc.) and their applications in catalysis and fluorescence.

Carbon dots (CDs) has excellent photoluminescence properties. Aggregation plays an important role in both the formation of CDs and their fluorescence, yet is seldom studied in detail. This review aims to fill this knowledge gap. We first discuss how aggregation leads to the formation of different types of CDs, and the impact on morphology, luminescence and applications.
