Description:Figure 1 show compressive strength results obtained for the BPQDs/Cement mortar cube after 7 days, 14 days and 28 days curing period. Three samples of dimension 70.5x70.5x70.5mm of mix ratio 1:3 with 0.45 w/c is kept for curing with different curing period and compressive test was examined to ensure repeatability. The addition borophene quantum dots by 0.005wt% to 0.03wt% in cement mortar increases the compressive strength of the cement mortar by 17% to 88% all the specimens cast for different curing ages. Maximum strength achieved for 0.025wt% of borophene quantum dots is 88%, 87%, 86% for 7 days (Fig 1(a)), 14 days (Fig 1(b)) and 28 days (Fig 1(c)) curing ages, respectively. Further increasing the percentage addition of carbon quantum dots by 0.030wt% leads to decrease in compressive strength to 78.63, 79.23, 80.21%. (Fig 1(d)). A hypothesis for increased reinforcing efficiency is that borophen quantum dots have a strong seeding impact on the cement hydration kinetics offering a additional sites for the nucleation growth of new areas of hydration products , Claims:We Claim
