Abstract
The utilization of fluorescent quantum dots (FL QDs) has gained significant traction in the realm of antibiotic detection, owing to their exceptional FL properties and versatility. Various types of QDs have been tailored to exhibit superior FL characteristics, employing diverse capping agents such as metals, surfactants, polymers, and biomass to protect and stabilize their surfaces. In their evolution, FL QDs have demonstrated both "turn-off" and "turn-on" mechanisms in response to the presence of analytes, offering promising avenues for biosensing applications. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in antibiotic detection utilizing FL QDs as biosensors. It encompasses an extensive examination of different types of FL QDs, including carbon, metal, and core-shell QDs, deployed for the detection of antibiotics. Furthermore, the synthesis methods employed for the fabrication of various FL QDs are elucidated, shedding light on the diverse approaches adopted in their preparation. Moreover, this review delves into the intricate sensing mechanisms underlying FL QDs-based antibiotic detection. Various mechanisms, such as photoinduced electron transfer, electron transfer, charge transfer, Forster resonance energy transfer, static quenching, dynamic quenching, inner filter effect, hydrogen bonding, and aggregation-induced emission, are discussed in detail. These mechanisms provide a robust scientific rationale for the detection of antibiotics using FL QDs, showcasing their potential for sensitive and selective sensing applications. Finally, the review addresses current challenges and offers perspectives on the future improvement of FL QDs in sensing applications. Insights into overcoming existing limitations and harnessing emerging technologies are provided, charting a course for the continued advancement of FL QDs-based biosensing platforms in the field of antibiotic detection.

Abstract
The resulting antibiotic residue and organic chemicals from continuous climatic change, urbanization and increasing food demand have a detrimental impact on environmental and human health protection. So, we created a unique B, N-CQDs (Boron, Nitrogen doping carbon quantum dots) based fluorescent nanosensor to investigate novel sensing methodologies for the precise and concentrated identification of antibiotics and phenol derivatives substances to ensure that they are included in the permitted percentages. The as-prepared highly fluorescent B, N-CQDs had a limited range of sizes between 1 and 6 nm and average sizes of 2.5 nm in our study. The novel B, N-CQDs showed high sensitivity and selectivity for phenolic derivatives such as hydroquinone, resorcinol, and para aminophenol, as well as organic solvents such as hexane, with low detection limits of 0.05, 0.024, 0.032 and 0.013 µM respectively in an aqueous medium. The high fluorescence B, N-CQDs probes were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The outcomes were compared to carbon quantum dots (CQDs) previously generated from Urea.

Abstract
Glyphosate has excellent herbicidal activity, and its extensive use may induce residue in the environment and enter into humans living through the food chain, causing negative impact. Here, water-soluble 1.55 nm size nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCDs) with strong blue fluorescence were synthesized using sodium citrate and adenine. The maximum excitation and emission wavelengths of NCDs were 380 nm and 440 nm, respectively. The above synthesized NCDs were first used for the construction of a fluorescence sensor for glyphosate detection. It was found that Cu2+ could quench the fluorescence of NCDs effectively through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process, which was confirmed using fluorescence lifetime measurements. Additionally, the fluorescence was restored with the addition of glyphosate. Hence, a sensitive turn-on fluorescence sensor based on NCDs/Cu2+ for glyphosate analysis was developed. The LODs of glyphosate for water and rice samples were recorded as 0.021 μg/mL and 0.049 μg/mL, respectively. The sensor was applied successfully for ultrasensitive and selective detection of glyphosate in environmental water and rice samples with satisfied recoveries from 82.1% to 113.0% using a simple sample pretreatment technique. The proposed strategy can provide a significant potential for monitoring glyphosate residue in water and agricultural product samples.

Abstract
The ecosystem across the globe has been adversely affected due to the adoption of unsustainable growth strategies. Overuse of organic pollutants such as dyes, pesticides, disinfectants, food additives and antibiotics, along with their release into the environment without proper treatment has severely affected the food chain and water bodies, hence ultimately the human race. As the organic contaminants, being non-biodegradable, persist in the environment for a long duration, a sustainable method for the detection of these harmful organic pollutants is essential. For food safety and restoration of ecological balance, simple, non-toxic, cost-effective and environmentally friendly green precursor derived carbon dots (CDs) are favorable as compared to inorganic nanoparticles (CdTe, CdS etc.) and chemically derived CDs. This review covers the summary of the studies devoted to the optical detection of organic pollutants, food additives and antibiotics through green precursor derived CDs, reported during the last few years. The upcoming studies of optical sensing systems with sustainable CDs provide powerful insight towards pollutant detection, as well as act as a future monitoring tool.

Abstract
Amoxicillin (AMO) is one of the most commonly used antibiotics, and its abuse in animal husbandry or clinical therapy can pose unpredictable hazards to humans. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a real-time and rapid method to accurately determine AMO content. Here, we designed a fluorescent nanoprobe for qualitative and quantitative AMO determination by using as-synthesized green safe materials of nontoxic red carbon dots (RCDs) and blue carbon dots (BCDs). In the presence of AMO, a reaction promoting hydrogen bonding occurred immediately, resulting in an instant increase in the intensity of the blue fluorescence of BCDs, accompanied by a marked color change from red to blue. For practical application, we designed a nontoxic sensing fluorescent handy needle to directly and quantitatively detect AMO in real samples. This portable and easy-to-use device was demonstrated on a smartphone platform based on 3D printing technology, which offers the advantages of simple production, excellent visualization, fast response, and instant quantitative detection. The device requires an extremely short detection time and has a sensitive detection limit of 2.39 nM. The method presented here enables real-time assessment for food safety, as well as on-site detection under field conditions to track various trace substances for timely health checks.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 279:121444. [PMID: 35660143 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The post-translational modification of amino acid plays a critical role in normal and diseased biological states. Specifically, nitrotyrosine (nTyr) has been linked to diseases, including neurodegeneration, among others. Hence, alternative methods are required for detection and differentiation of nTyr from other structurally similar analogues, such as Tyrosine (Tyr) or phosphotyrosine (pTyr). Herein, the selective detection of nTyr, over other congeners, was achieved by using dual-fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) in buffered solution, artificial saliva, bovine serum albumin and diluted equine serum. The nTyr induced fluorescence quenching of the blue and red emissions of CDs, in the 20-105 μM linear range, and with the limit of detection (LOD) at 34 μM, which was well below the physiological concentration required for detection. The sensor was functional at biological pH values, with optimal quenching efficiency at basic pH. The sensor was highly selective for nTyr even in the presence of common biological interferences (metal cations, organic anions, amino acids, nucleosides and other biologicals). The mechanism of quenching (a combination of static and dynamic) was ascribed to the nonradiative energy transfer, due to electronic overlap between nTyr absorbance and CDs fluorescence emission, and electron transfer from excited CDs state to nTyr as an electron acceptor. The dual-fluorescent CDs represent viable sensors for key biological modifications, and their selectivity and sensitivity may be further improved through tailored chemical synthesis of CDs, such as tunable surface chemistry to promote selective recognition of analyte of interest.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), having outstanding biocompatibility, attractive catalytic performance, excellent optical properties, and valuable environment friendliness, are emerging as a new paradigm to design luminescent devices and show great potential in application fields such as biomedical sensors, optical and photonic devices. And CQDs are known as one of the most promising carbon based nanomaterials in the 21st century. Therefore, it has attracted a lot of attention since it was first discovered in 2004. In this review, we explain the accepted photoluminescence mechanism of CQDs, including fluorescence and phosphorescence. There are two main types of synthesis strategies: top-down approach and bottom-up approach. At the same time, the main application fields, including ion detection, anti-counterfeiting, biological imaging, food safety, sensors, lubrication additives, are reviewed. Finally, the existing bottlenecks, pending problems and prospects for the future of CQDs are discussed.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) endowed with outstanding physico-chemical characteristics expeditiously garnered tremendous popularity in the scientific community. CDs can be synthesized from a variety of natural resources and can replace metal semiconductor quantum dots in the range of applications such as bio-imaging, sensing and catalysis. Herein, CDs are green synthesized fromBeta vulgarisvia a single step hydrothermal approach (b-CDs). The synthesized carbon dots are characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometry, Fluorescence spectroscopy, High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), x-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The b-CDs hence developed exhibited the signature 'excitation-dependent fluorescence emission' with its most intense emission in the green region. The quantum yield for the b-CDs obtained by this synthetic approach evinced an appreciable value of 11.6%. The antioxidant property of b-CDs are evaluated using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay to obtain a maximum scavenging activity of 94.5% at a concentration of 1000μg ml-1and its underlying mechanisms are illustrated. The blood compatibility of b-CDs are assessed using haemolysis assay and the cytotoxicity evaluated using MTT assay shows significant cell growth-inhibition against the human breast cancer (MCF-7) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell lines. This succinct study demonstrates the inherent therapeutic potential of biocompatible carbon dots.

Abstract
The fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) represent an emerging subset of carbonaceous nanomaterials, recently becoming a powerful tool for biosensing, bioimaging, and drug and gene delivery. In general, carbon dots are defined as zero-dimensional (0D), spherical-like nanoparticles with <10 nm in size. Their unique chemical, optical, and electronic properties make CQDs versatile materials for a wide spectrum of applications, mainly for the sensing and biomedical purposes. Due to their good biocompatibility, water solubility, and relatively facile modification, these novel materials have attracted tremendous interest in recent years, which is especially important for nanotechnology and nanoscience expertise. The preparation of the biomass-derived CQDs has attracted growing interest recently due to their low-cost, renewable, and green biomass resources, presenting also the variability of possible modification for the enhancement of CQDs’ properties. This review is primarily focused on the recent developments in carbon dots and their application in the sensing of different chemical species within the last five years. Furthermore, special emphasis has been made regarding the green approaches for obtaining CQDs and nanomaterial characterization toward better understanding the mechanisms of photoluminescent behavior and sensing performance. In addition, some of the challenges and future outlooks in CQDs research have been briefly outlined.

FCNs added to an acrylic-based tissue conditioner (Viscogel, Dentsply; Group V) and a silicone-based soft denture liner (Ufigel P, Voco; Group U) were divided into subgroups according to the concentrations (Group 0: no water, Group 1: with only water, Group 2: 0.5% FCNs, Group 3: 1% FCNs and Group 4: 10% FCNs) (n=10/per group). Shore A hardness, tear, and tensile bond strength tests were performed. Significant decreases occurred in Groups U2, U3, and U4 compared to the control groups (Groups U0 and U1) in the tear and tensile bond strength test parameters (p<0.025). However, in both types of the tested materials, there were no statistically significant differences among the shore A hardness test results (p>0.025).

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from natural products have drawn numerous attentions due to some unique properties. Here, Prunus cerasifera fruits were used as carbon source to synthesize high luminescent CDs by hydrothermal method. The obtained CDs were characterized by TEM, FTIR and XPS methods, founding the CDs were near-spherical and contained abundant nitrogen element. The CDs aqueous solution exhibited bright blue fluorescence under ultraviolet illumination, with the maximum emission at 450 nm. They could be potentially used as invisible fluorescent ink by written on the paper and irradiated by UV light, due to their fluorescent properties. Moreover, the CDs were found being selectively quenched by Fe3+ ion. The quench of CDs was linearly related to the concentration of Fe3+ ion in the range of 0-0.5 mM, meaning they could be developed as fluorescent probe of Fe3+ ion. At last, the CDs were used for cell imaging, founding they were low toxicity to HepG2 cells and exhibited blue and green fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope. In summary, the CDs prepared from Prunus cerasifera fruits exhibited excellent fluorescence properties, and could be potentially applied in the field of fluorescent ink, Fe3+ ion detection and cell imaging.
