Abstract
The utilization of solar energy and fast-growing heterotrophic microbes for biofuel production has been recognized as a promising approach to achieve carbon neutrality and address energy crisis. In this work, we synthesized different kinds of photocatalysts based on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). We found that carbon dots modified-graphitic carbon nitride (CDs-g-C3N4) showed the highest photocatalytic activity. Subsequently, we developed a photocatalyst-microbe hybrid (PMH) system by combining CDs-g-C3N4 with an oleaginous yeast strain, Cutaneotrichosporon dermatis ZZ-46. Under visible light irradiation, the lipid yield of this PMH system reached 1.70 g/L at 120 h, representing a 36 % increase compared to the control. The photocatalytic reaction-induced ROS and the reductive photogenerated electrons facilitated ZZ-46 cells to synthesize more lipids. Furthermore, the fermentation residual of this PMH system was reutilized to prepare biochar via pyrolysis. The biochar generated at 550 °C (BC-550) demonstrated exceptional adsorption capabilities, particularly with a 57 % adsorption rate for methylene blue (MB), and maintained its perfect adsorption efficacy even after five regeneration cycles. These results offer promising avenues for addressing energy shortages and environmental contamination.

Manganese dioxide nanosheet-modulated ratiometric fluoroprobe based on carbon quantum dots from okra for selective and sensitive dichlorvos detection in foods. Food Chem 2024; 434:137507.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a ratiometric fluoroprobe by integrating okra-derived carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with amplex red (AR) using manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) as a medium. Fluorescence intensities (FIs) of CQDs were sharply quenched by MnO2 NSs via an inner-filter effect processes, whereas the FIs of AR were significantly enhanced due to oxidation of AR to AR-ox by the oxidase-mimetic activity of MnO2 NSs. Acetyrylcholinesterase hydrolyzed acetylthiocholine to produce thiocholine, and the decomposition of MnO2 NSs to Mn2+ by thiocholine led to the FI recovery of CQDs, but decreased FIs of AR-ox. Based on the above phenomenon and the inhibitory effect of dichlorvos (DDVP) on acetyrylcholinesterase activity, a novel ratiometric fluoroprobe for DDVP quantification was pioneered. Under optimized conditions, this fluoroprobe gave a wide linear range (4-120 μg/L), low detection limit (1.2 μg/L), and satisfactory fortification recoveries (90.0-110.0%), thereby providing good prospects for routine DDVP monitoring in foods.

Abstract
The residue of chlortetracycline is potentially hazardous to human health; it is meaningful to exploit a portable, rapid, sensitive, and selective method for detection of chlortetracycline (CTC). In this study, a novel fluorescence bionic sensing probe (NH2-MIL-53&N,P-CDs@MIP) was successfully prepared based on the nitrogen and phosphorus codoped carbon dots decorated iron-based metal-organic frameworks combining with molecular imprinted polymer for the detection of CTC. A fluorescence intensity-responsive "on-off" detection of CTC on account of the inner-filter effect (IFE) was achieved by NH2-MIL-53&N,P-CDs@MIP. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence quenching degree of NH2-MIL-53&N,P-CDs@MIP presented a good linear relationship with the CTC concentration in the range 0.06-30 μg mL-1 and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.019 μg mL-1. The fluorescent probe was applied to detect CTC in milk samples, and experimental results showed a good recovery rate (88.73%-96.28%). Additionally, a smartphone-integrated fluorescence sensing device based on NH2-MIL-53&N,P-CDs@MIP was exploited to replace the expensive and bulky fluorescence spectrophotometer for quantitative determination of CTC with the LOD of 0.033 μg mL-1. The sensing system showed high selectivity, strong stability, high specificity, and portability, which provide a great strategy for the quantitative detection of antibiotic residue.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting technology is a well-known strategy to synthesize materials with a predetermined specificity. For fifty years, the "classical" approach assumed the creation of "memory sites" in the organic polymer matrix by a template molecule that interacts with the functional monomer prior to the polymerization and template removal. However, the phenomenon of a material's "memory" provided by the "footprint" of the chemical entity was first observed on silica-based materials nearly a century ago. Through the years, molecular imprinting technology has attracted the attention of many scientists. Different forms of molecularly imprinted materials, even on the nanoscale, were elaborated, predominantly using organic polymers to induce the "memory". This field has expanded quickly in recent years, providing versatile tools for the separation or detection of numerous chemical compounds or even macromolecules. In this review, we would like to emphasize the role of the molecular imprinting process in the formation of highly specific siloxane-based nanomaterials. The distinct chemistry of siloxanes provides an opportunity for the facile functionalization of the surfaces of nanomaterials, enabling us to introduce additional properties and providing a way for vast applications such as detectors or separators. It also allows for catalyzing chemical reactions providing microreactors to facilitate organic synthesis. Finally, it determines the properties of siloxanes such as biocompatibility, which opens the way to applications in drug delivery and nanomedicine. Thus, a brief outlook on the chemistry of siloxanes prior to the discussion of the current state of the art of siloxane-based imprinted nanomaterials will be provided. Those aspects will be presented in the context of practical applications in various areas of chemistry and medicine. Finally, a brief outlook of future perspectives for the field will be pointed out.

Synthesis of Metal–Organic Frameworks Quantum Dots Composites as Sensors for Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147980.

Abstract
Hazardous chemical compounds such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are widespread and part of the materials we use daily. Among these compounds, bisphenol A (BPA) is the most common endocrine-disrupting chemical and is prevalent due to the chemical raw materials used to manufacture thermoplastic polymers, rigid foams, and industrial coatings. General exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals constitutes a serious health hazard, especially to reproductive systems, and can lead to transgenerational diseases in adults due to exposure to these chemicals over several years. Thus, it is necessary to develop sensors for early detection of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. In recent years, the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as sensors for EDCs has been explored due to their distinctive characteristics, such as wide surface area, outstanding chemical fastness, structural tuneability, gas storage, molecular separation, proton conductivity, and catalyst activity, among others which can be modified to sense hazardous environmental pollutants such as EDCs. In order to improve the versatility of MOFs as sensors, semiconductor quantum dots have been introduced into the MOF pores to form metal–organic frameworks/quantum dots composites. These composites possess a large optical absorption coefficient, low toxicity, direct bandgap, formidable sensing capacity, high resistance to change under light and tunable visual qualities by varying the size and compositions, which make them useful for applications as sensors for probing of dangerous and risky environmental contaminants such as EDCs and more. In this review, we explore various synthetic strategies of (MOFs), quantum dots (QDs), and metal–organic framework quantum dots composites (MOFs@QDs) as efficient compounds for the sensing of ecological pollutants, contaminants, and toxicants such as EDCs. We also summarize various compounds or materials used in the detection of BPA as well as the sensing ability and capability of MOFs, QDs, and MOFs@QDs composites that can be used as sensors for EDCs and BPA.

Abstract
A new ratiometric fluorescence sensor is prepared for selective detection of chlorotetracycline (CTC) through dual-mode fluorescence method. The sensor is composed of carbon dots (CDs) with blue emission and carboxyl-modified CuInS2/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with dark-red emission. Usually QDs are used as fluorescent probes or signal sources, but it is interesting in this strategy that CuInS2/ZnS QDs innovatively work as quenching agent to reduce the fluorescence of CDs, mainly due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). After the addition of CTC, the interaction between CDs and CuInS2/ZnS QDs is restrained, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of CDs, whilstthe QDs' fluorescence remains unaffected. In this work, CTC is detected in the range of 0-50 μM by conventional fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence methods under an excitation wavelength of 360 nm or Δλ = 90 nm, and the detection limits of the two methods are 0.46 μM and 0.36 μM, respectively. The designed sensor displays good selectivity compared with other tetracycline drugs with similar structure to CTC, different ions and various natural - amino acids. And the sensor can also be applied to determine CTC in tap water and milk.

Abstract
The residue problem in animal food products caused by the abuse of chlortetracycline (CTC) is one of the food safety issues that have attracted much attention. Herein, a composite was generated by embedding CdTe quantum dots (QDs) into ZIF-8 for ratiometric fluorescent analysis of CTC. With adding CTC, the green luminescence of CTC appeared under the sensitization effect of Zn2+ in ZIF-8, but the red luminescence of CdTe QDs was reduced by the inner filtration effect of CTC. On this basis, CTC was detected by the composite with a short response time of 1 min, and the limit of detection was calculated to be 37 nM that was 17 times lower than the maximum residue limit of CTC in animal food products (626 nM). Excellent recyclability of the composite was also observed, and CTC was consecutively measured at least six times. The composite was used to determine CTC in basa fish and pure milk with satisfactory recoveries (91.0-110.0%). Portable test strips were further manufactured and the visual determination of CTC was obtained. These results convictively demonstrate that CdTe QDs@ZIF-8 composite as a recyclable ratiometric fluorescent sensor achieves the rapid and sensitive measurement of CTC residue in animal food products.

Abstract
The novel dual-emission carbon dots (DECDs) for highly selective and sensitive recognition of chlortetracycline (CTC) and cell imaging were synthesized successfully by one-step synthesis. The obtained DECDs possessed two fluorescence peaks (345 nm and 450 nm) and showed specific response to CTC, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence intensity at 345 nm, a blue shift, and an increase in fluorescence intensity at 450 nm. The obtained DECDs exhibited highly selective response to CTC and not to its analogues, such as tetracycline, doxycycline, and oxytetracycline. Thus, an excellent ratiometric probe for the detection of CTC was fabricated successfully and used for the detection of CTC in real samples with the detection limit (LOD) of 16.45 nM. More importantly, the DECDs were used for quantitative detection of CTC in living cells, which demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and broad prospects in biomedicine application. Finally, the excellent selectivity of DECDs toward CTC was attributed to the FRET mechanism and the formation of complexes.

Abstract
Aiming at enhancing the detection efficiency and identification accuracy of tetracycline under a high-temperature condition, this study focuses on an innovative fluorescent sensing system (MIP@CQD-PCM) based on molecularly imprinted phase-change microcapsules along with the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) embedded in their shell. This system was fabricated by microencapsulating n-eicosane as a phase change material (PCM) core within a CQDs-embedded SiO2 shell, followed by coating a tetracycline-templated molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer onto the surface of the SiO2 shell. The specific recognition sites to tetracycline molecules were finally achieved by removal of tetracycline template from the MIP layer. Comprehensive characterizations and investigations on the structure and performance of the fluorescent sensing system were given to confirm its successful fabrication in accordance to our design strategy. The resultant MIP@CQD-PCM exhibits a satisfactory thermal storage capacity and phase-change cycle stability for temperature regulation and thermal management applications under a phase-change enthalpy of over 162 J/g. Most of all, a typical fluorescence-quenching effect was obtained from the combination of the CQDs embedded in the SiO2 shell and the tetracycline molecules adsorbed in the MIP layer. This makes the MIP@CQD-PCM achieve an enhanced capability for the fluorescence identification of tetracycline in a high-temperature environment through the in situ thermal management of its PCM core. The MIP@CQD-PCM also displays high selectivity and good reusability for tetracycline detection in industrial applications. This work provides a promising strategy for the design and development of fluorescent sensing systems with high recognition efficiency and identification accuracy in the detection of hazardous substances.

Abstract
A novel oxygen-doped g-C3N4 nanoplate (OCNP) structure that can serve as an efficient sulfadimethoxine (SDM) sensing platform has been developed. Taking advantage of its inherent oxygen-containing functional groups and 2D layered structure with π-conjugated system, OCNP exhibits effective radiative recombination of surface-confined electron-hole pairs and efficient π-π interaction with SDM. This causes rapid fluorescence response and thus ensures the fast and continuous monitoring of SDM. Based on the fluorescence experiments and band structure calculation, the mechanism of the SDM-induced quenching phenomenon was mainly elucidated as the photoinduced electron transfer process under a dynamic quenching mode. Under optimized conditions, the as-proposed nanosensor, which emitted strong fluorescence at 375 nm with an excitation wavelength at 255 nm, presents an excellent analytical performance toward SDM with a wide linear range from 3 to 60 μmol L-1 and a detection limit of 0.85 μmol L-1 (S/N = 3). In addition, this strategy exhibits satisfactory recovery varied from 94 to 103% with relative standard derivations (RSD) in the range 0.9 to 6.8% in real water samples. It also shows marked tolerability to a series of high concentrations of metals and inorganic salts. This strategy not only broadens the application of oxygen-doped g-C3N4 nanomaterial in antibiotic sensing field but also presents a promising potential for on-line contaminant tracing in complex environments.

Sulfur quantum dot-based "ON-OFF-ON" fluorescence platform for detection and bioimaging of Cr(vi) and ascorbic acid in complex environmental matrices and biological tissues. RSC Adv 2021; 11:10572-10581. [PMID: 35423544 PMCID: PMC8695692 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra00401h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Based on an "assembling-fission" principle, stable sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) were synthesized using sublimed sulfur as a precursor and PEG-400 as a passivator. The fluorescence intensities (FIs) of SQDs were efficiently quenched by Cr(vi) due to formation of SQD/Cr(vi) complexes through the inner-filter effect. When ascorbic acid (AA) was introduced into the SQD/Cr(vi) system, SQD fluorescence was restored due to AA-induced reduction of Cr(vi) to Cr(iii). Consequently, a SQD-based "ON-OFF-ON" platform was constructed for sequential detection of Cr(vi) and AA. Under optimized conditions, the FIs of SQDs were linearly dependent on the concentrations of Cr(vi) and AA, yielding linear ranges of 0.005-1.5 and 0.01-5.5 mM with detection limits of 1.5 and 3 μM, respectively, in waters, serum and tablet samples. After a 24 h incubation, the SQDs displayed strong, quenched and recovered blue fluorescence, respectively, in the SQD, SQD/AAO/Cr(vi) and SQD/Cr(vi) systems in live HeLa cells and zebrafish embryos/larvae. A blue fluorescence was displayed in the yolk of zebrafish embryos, and yolk and head of larvae. This study demonstrates the efficacy of SQD systems for environmental and biological applications in complex matrices, and for direct observation of Cr bioaccumulation in organisms by bioimaging.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a two-dimensional conjugated polymer that has attracted the interest of researchers and industrial communities owing to its outstanding analytical merits such as low-cost synthesis, high stability, unique electronic properties, catalytic ability, high quantum yield, nontoxicity, metal-free, low bandgap energy, and electron-rich properties. Notably, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is the most stable allotrope of carbon nitrides. It has been explored in various analytical fields due to its excellent biocompatibility properties, including ease of surface functionalization and hydrogen-bonding. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) acts as a nanomediator and serves as an immobilization layer to detect various biomolecules. Numerous reports have been presented in the literature on applying graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) for the construction of electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Different electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, electrochemiluminescence, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, square wave anodic stripping voltammetry, and amperometry techniques have been extensively used for the detection of biologic molecules and heavy metals, with high sensitivity and good selectivity. For this reason, the leading drive of this review is to stress the importance of employing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors and biosensors.

Abstract
A new dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent probe was synthesized and successfully used for the determination of Malachite Green (MG) in fish farming water. The ratiometric fluorescent probe was successfully composited by sol-gel method using C3N4 and CdTe quantum dots as fluorescent materials combined with mesoporous molecularly imprinted polymers. MG quenches the red fluorescence of the CdTe QDs (with excitation/emission wavelengths at 350/680 nm) while the blue fluorescence of C3N4 (with excitation/emission wavelengths at 350/458 nm) remains unchanged. The change of fluorescence color and fluorescence intensity ratio can be successfully used for quantification of malachite green. In addition, the mesoporous structure has a large surface and good adsorption capacity for malachite green. The normalized intensity of fluorescence increases linearly in the 50-1000 ng·mL-1 MG concentration range, and the detection limit is 10 ng·mL-1. The imprinting factor is 3.2. The nanoprobe was applied to the determination of MG in fish farming water samples. Recoveries and relative standard deviations were 92.5-97.8% and 2.5-6.2%, respectively. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of synthesis of molecularly imprinted mesoporous silica ratiometric fluorescent probes incorporating C3N4 dots and CdTe quantum dots for determination of malachite green.
