Simultaneous Detection of Carbon Quantum Dots as Tracers for Interwell Connectivity Evaluation in a Pattern with Two Injection Wells. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:789. [PMID: 38727383 PMCID: PMC11085186 DOI: 10.3390/nano14090789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop and implement a nanotechnology-based alternative to traditional tracers used in the oil and gas industry for assessing interwell connectivity. A simple and rapid hydrothermal protocol for synthesizing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using agroindustry waste was implemented. Three commercial CQDs were employed (CQDblue, CQDgreen, and CQDred); the fourth was synthesized from orange peel (CQDop). The CQDs from waste and other commercials with spherical morphology, nanometric sizes less than 11 nm in diameter, and surface roughness less than 3.1 nm were used. These tracers demonstrated high colloidal stability with a negative zeta potential, containing carbonyl-type chemical groups and unsaturations in aromatic structures that influenced their optical behavior. All materials presented high colloidal stability with negative values of charge z potential between -17.8 and -49.1. Additionally, individual quantification of these tracers is feasible even in scenarios where multiple CQDs are present in the effluent with a maximum percentage of interference of 15.5% for CQDop in the presence of the other three nanotracers. The CQDs were injected into the field once the technology was insured under laboratory conditions. Monitoring the effluents allowed the determination of connectivity for five first-line producer wells. This study enables the application of CQDs in the industry, particularly in fields where the arrangement of injector and producer wells is intricate, requiring the use of multiple tracers for a comprehensive description of the system.

Abstract
A kind of new magnetic oyster shell (OS) composite (OS-Fe3O4@SiO2@NH2@PEI) was synthesized and used as an adsorbent to remove carmine (CM), sunset yellow (SY) and Pb (II) from water. Firstly, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were introduced on the surface of waste oyster shell powder, then amino silanization was used to improve the stability of the material, and finally polyethylenimide (PEI) was grafted by Schiff base reaction. The composite was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS, XPS, VSM, BET, TEM and zeta potential. The effects of adsorbent dosage and initial solution pH on the three samples were investigated by adsorption experiments. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated in depth under the best experimental conditions. The composite adsorbent not only selectively removed anionic azo dyes, but also had good recycling. In addition, OS-Fe3O4@SiO2@NH2@PEI still had good performance in mixed samples. These results indicated that OS-Fe3O4@SiO2@NH2@PEI was successfully used for the removal of a wide range of anionic dyes and heavy metal ions from the environment, and provided a new strategy for recycling waste.

Abstract
In this work, a sustainable method was developed for the production of water-soluble carbon quantum dots employing a green approach. The synthetic protocol was employed using the microwave pyrolysis technique, while lemon peel served as a carbon precursor. Fabrication of highly fluorescent lemon-peel-derived CQDs (LP-CQDs) having inherent nitrogen functionality was validated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopic analysis, and TEM techniques. The average particle size of fabricated LP-CQDs was 4.46 nm. LP-CQDs yielded a remarkable quantum yield of 49.5%, which displayed excellent salinity, photostability, storage time, conditions, and pH stability. LP-CQDs displayed encouraging results for tetracycline (TC) detection using a PL turn-off approach. The sensitivity of LP-CQDs toward TC was seen in a nanomolar range having a detection limit of 50.4 nM. Method validation was comprehensively studied to ensure the precision of the nanosensor. A complete analysis of different photophysical parameters of LP-CQDs was performed with TC to gain a deeper understanding of the sensing mechanism. Fabricated LP-CQDs showed fluorescence quenching toward TC, elucidated by the inner filter effect (IFE) mechanism. The synthesized nanoprobe demonstrated a lesser detection limit with a broad linear range, enabling facile, cheap, environmentally friendly, and fast detection of TC. Practicality of the detection method was assessed through analysis of real samples, resulting in satisfactory recovery percentage and relative standard deviation with respect to the developed probes. Furthermore, LP-CQDs were used as fluorescent inks and to fabricate paper-based fluorescent strips. This study lays the door for the sensing platform of LP-CQDs toward detection of TC, which may impact the potential role of environmental sustainability.

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
The development of carbon dots (CDs), either using green or chemical precursors, has inevitably led to their wide range application, from bioimaging to optoelectronic devices. The reported precursors and properties of these CDs have opened new opportunities for the future development of high-quality CDs and applications. Green precursors were classified into fruits, vegetables, flowers, leaves, seeds, stem, crop residues, fungi/bacteria species, and waste products, while the chemical precursors were classified into acid reagents and non-acid reagents. This paper quickly reviews ten years of the synthesis of CDs using green and chemical precursors. The application of CDs as sensing materials in optical sensor techniques for environmental monitoring, including the detection of heavy metal ions, phenol, pesticides, and nitroaromatic explosives, was also discussed in this review. This profound review will offer knowledge for the upcoming community of researchers interested in synthesizing high-quality CDs for various applications.

Abstract
In this work, a kind of boron doped carbon spheres (B-CSs) was successfully synthesized utilizing maize starch as carbon source and boric acid as dopant via facile solvothermal method. The chemical structure of the prepared B-CSs was systemically investigated by TEM, FT-IR, XRD, XPS and EDS. The synthesized B-CSs feature spherical structure with average size of ∼254 nm and exhibit strong photoluminescence (PL) with maximum emission at a wavelength of ∼453 nm under irradiation at 350 nm, leading to a quantum yield of 6.2%. Furthermore, the aqueous pH and Cr(VI) has a significantly various impact on the PL intensity of B-CSs, which can be flexibly utilized as the PL sensor for detection aqueous pH and Cr(VI) in aqueous. Particularly, the B-CSs have a desirable sensitivity and selectivity for detection of Cr(VI) with a low detection limit of ∼0.34μmol l-1. Conclusively, our work provides a novel and dual-functional fluorescent sensor for detection of the pH and toxic metal ions in water environment.

Abstract
Synergistic dual-mode optical platforms are up-and-coming detection tools in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. Here, novel dual-modality fluorescence (FL) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques have been integrated into a single probe for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of norovirus (NoV). The developed FL-SER-based biosensor relies on the dual-signal enhancements of newly synthesized sulfur-doped agar-derived carbon dots (S-agCDs). The antigen-antibody immunoreaction results in forming a core-satellite immunocomplex between anti-NoV antibody-conjugated S-agCDs and polydopamine-functionalized magnetic silver nanocubes [poly (dop)-MNPs-Ag NCs]. By deploying an immunomagnetic enrichment protocol and performing the SERS modality on a single-layer graphene substrate, norovirus-like particles (NoV-LPs) were detected across a wide range of 1 fg mL-1 - 10 ng mL-1 with an excellent limit of detection of 0.1 fg mL-1. The combined advantage of the dual-signaling properties of the biosensor was demonstrated using FL confocal imaging for "hotspots" tracking prior to SERS detection of clinical NoV in fecal specimen down to ⁓10 RNA copies mL-1. The proposed dual-modality biosensor's performance increases the prospect of a rapid and low-cost sensitive NoV detection and surveillance option for public health.

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.

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which showed excitation-dependent emission characteristics, were prepared using a facile hydrothermal method. The structure and optical properties of CQDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. These CQDs also showed peroxidase-like activity and could catalyze the H2O2-mediated oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to form 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with an absorption peak at 420 nm. DAP exhibited an obvious fluorescence emission at 550 nm under the excitation of 360 nm. On the other hand, it decreased the fluorescence of CQDs at 450 nm via inner filter effect. The experimental results indicated that the H2O2 concentration affected the color of DAP and the fluorescence intensity of CQDs and DAP. Thus, a colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence dual-signal method was established for measuring the concentrations of H2O2 and uric acid (UA). The effects of pH, incubation temperature, incubation time, and OPD concentration on the response were investigated. Under the conditions of pH 7.5, temperature 50 °C, incubation time 30 min, and OPD 1.5 mM, the absorbance and fluorescence intensity ratio responses were linearly dependent on UA concentration ranging from 5.0 μM to 100 μM. The limits of detection were 0.7 and 0.5 μM with a colorimetric method and ratiometric fluorescence method, respectively. More importantly, this dual responsive method has been applied to the determination of UA in urine samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
A high-efficiency spectrophotometric method based on nitrogen-doped fluorescent carbon dots (N-FCDs) was developed for the ultrasensitive determination of carmine (CRM) in foodstuffs. The N-FCDs were fabricated via a one-pot hydrothermal method with m-phenylenediamine as the starting material. The detection principle was based on the fluorescence quenching effect of N-FCDs by CRM, where their interaction was due to the inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching. A good linear relationship was established for CRM detection in a concentration range of 0.1-10.0 μM with a detection limit as low as 11.2 nM. The proposed method achieved satisfactory results for CRM determination in commercial food products with recoveries better than 98.6% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 4.07%. The method established in this study was simple, ultrasensitive and reliable for rapid detecting CRM in a food matrix, which could be potentially used as a useful sensing agent for the analysis of additive food colourants.

Abstract
The fluorescent carbon dot is a novel type of carbon nanomaterial. In comparison with semiconductor quantum dots and fluorescence organic agents, it possesses significant advantages such as excellent photostability and biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity and easy surface functionalization, which endow it a wide application prospect in fields of bioimaging, chemical sensing, environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis and photocatalysis as well. Biomass waste is a good choice for the production of carbon dots owing to its abundance, wide availability, eco-friendly nature and a source of low cost renewable raw materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, carbohydrates and proteins, etc. This paper reviews the main sources of biomass waste, the feasibility and superiority of adopting biomass waste as a carbon source for the synthesis of carbon dots, the synthetic approaches of carbon dots from biomass waste and their applications. The advantages and deficiencies of carbon dots from biomass waste and the major influencing factors on their photoluminescence characteristics are summarized and discussed. The challenges and perspectives in the synthesis of carbon dots from biomass wastes are also briefly outlined.

Abstract
Citric acid and urea were used as precursors for the preparation of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) which exhibited a maximum emission wavelength at 515 nm when excited at 410 nm. Upon addition of citrate-stabilized Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the maximum absorption wavelength at 520 nm, the fluorescence of the CQDs could be efficiently quenched, attributed to the energy transfer between CQDs and AuNPs. However, the further introduction of l-cysteine (Cys) could cause the aggregation of AuNPs along with a drop in absorption at 520 nm, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of the CQDs–AuNPs system. Therefore, a simple and reliable switch on fluorescence sensing platform for determination of Cys was constructed. The significant factors, such as pH and incubation time, that affected the detection of Cys were optimized with the AuNP concentration set as 2.50 nM at room temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence recoveries (ΔF) were strongly correlated with Cys concentration in the 0.20 to 4.0 μM range, and the detection limit is 0.012 μM. More importantly, our CQD-based sensing platform was successfully used for the detection of Cys in milk samples with high precision and accuracy, indicating the potential of the probe in practical applications. We demonstrated a fluorescence probe composed of CQDs and AuNPs for switch on detection of Cys, where CQDs as fluorescence reporters and AuNPs as fluorescence quenchers were chosen.![]()
