Bottom-up synthesis of carbogenic nanodots (CNDs) from small molecular precursors. a Synthesis may produce a complex mixture of molecular fluorophores, polymer dots, quasi CNDs, CNDs and b aggregated molecular fluorophores. The aggregated structure may also form by drying mediated aggregation of the fluorophore on the TEM grid
