The photoluminescence of carbon dots is a complex phenomenon arising from the interplay between structural and environmental factors that modulate light absorption and emission. One important aspect of this behavior is the Stokes shift, which represents the difference between the excitation and emission wavelengths. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for optimizing synthesis processes and enhancing the optical properties of CDs for specific applications. The analyzed data, although limited, suggest that approximately 30% of the variation in CD light emission can be attributed to experimental variables such as reaction time, and temperature or the CD's properties such as particle size. However, the primary factor influencing emission is the excitation wavelength, which plays a dominant role in determining the photoluminescent behavior of CDs. These assumptions are explored in Figure .
