Single-layer carbon dots (CDs) are used as capping agents to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The obtained nanohybrids (AgNPs/CDs) can be self-assembled into nanostructures like nanochains (1D-AgNPs/CDs), nanoflats (2D-AgNPs/CDs) or nanobodys (3D-AgNPs/CDs) by simply tuning the amount of add...
