Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) possess the fluorescence characteristics for target molecule detection, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are selective in recognizing and capturing analytes of interest. Based on these properties, various CD@MIPs constructed by CDs and MIPs have been successively developed in recent years, which makes up for the lack of output signals of MIPs during analysis. The integration of CDs with MIPs offers clear advantages in detecting trace substances from complex matrices, thereby enhancing the affinity and selectivity of MIPs. This review covers a wide range of recent publications to discuss the main preparation methods of CDs, MIPs and CD@MIPs. Additionally, it outlines the applications of CD@MIPs in the fields of environment, food and biology. Finally, the challenges faced by CD@MIPs and their prospects are summarized.
