In the recent world, there are number of
problems related to counterfeit of the different
products. There are number of products, which can be
easily duplicated by simple processes and the product is
accurate and precise. Even the counterfeit of currency is
also a main problem in world’s economic. There are
number of sectors, which can be effected due to this
reason like duplication of electronic products,
duplication of food products, duplication of automobile
products, duplication of currency, etc. So there are
number of anti-counterfeiting technologies available in
the market to prevent counterfeit problems. In this
paper, it explains to prevent this type of problems with
the help of carbon dot based gel formulation, which can
be used in different ways. This paper describes the
synthesis process and characterization analysis of
carbon dot based smart fluorescent security ink to
prevent the counterfeit problems. UV-Visspectrophotometer was utilized to differentiate optical
properties and fluoroscpectometer was exploited to
differentiate fluorescent properties of carbon dots and
carbon dot based fluorescent ink. AFM and FTIR were
used to analysis the structural properties of carbon dots
and carbon dot based fluorescent ink
