Carbon and graphene quantum dots based architectonics for efficient aqueous decontamination by adsorption chromatography technique - Current state and prospects. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118541. [PMID: 38417656 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
Aquatic ecosystems and potable water are being exploited and depleted due to urbanization and the encouragement of extensive industrialization, which induces the scarcity of pure water. However, current decontamination methods are limited and inefficient. Various innovative remediation strategies with novel nanomaterials have recently been demonstrated for wastewater treatment. Carbon dots (C-dots) and graphene quantum dots (GQ-dots) are the most recent frontiers in carbon nanomaterial-based adsorption studies. C-dots are extremely small (1-10 nm) quasi-spherical carbon nanoparticles (mostly sp3 hybridized carbon), whereas GQ-dots are fragments of graphene (1-20 nm) composed of primarily sp2 hybridized carbon. This article highlights the function of C-dots and GQ-dots with their specifications and characteristics for the efficient removal of organic and inorganic contaminants in water via adsorption chromatography. The alteration of adsorption attributes with the hybrid blending of these dots has been critically analyzed. Moreover, various top-down and bottom-up approaches for synthesizing C-dots and GQ-dots, which ultimately affect their morphology and structure, are described in detail. Finally, we review the research deficit in the adsorption of diverse pollutants, fabrication challenges, low molecular weight, self-agglomeration, and the future of the dots by providing research prospects and selectivity and sensitivity perspectives, the importance of post-adsorption optimization strategies and the path toward scalability at the tail of the article.

Abstract
An intelligent fluorescent nanoprobe (lignite-CDs-Eu) was constructed by an effective and facile method based on lignite-derived carbon dots (CDs) and lanthanide europium ions (Eu3+), which exhibited high sensitivity, low detection limit (13.35 nM) and visual color variation (from blue to red) under ultraviolet light towards tetracycline (TC) detection. Significantly, portable and economical sensors were developed using lignite-CDs-Eu immobilized fiber material of filter paper and wearable glove with the aid of color extracting and image processing application (APP) in the smartphone. Facile, fast and real-time visual detection of TC in food samples was realized. Moreover, logic gate circuit was also designed to achieve intelligent and semi-quantitative inspection of TC. To some extent, this study extended the cross-application of intelligent computer software in food analytical science, and provided a certain reference for the development of small portable detection sensors which were suitable for convenience and non-professional use in daily life.

Abstract
During the synthesis of carbon dots, different heteroatom doping can change the fluorescence color and the emission wavelength when the same precursor is applied. In this study, we used o-phenylenediamine and L-lysine as raw materials, boric acid or phosphoric acid as different heteroatom dopants, and water as solvent to synthesize doped carbon dots through a simple microwave-assisted method. Finally, two kinds of doped carbon dots with different fluorescence colors under 365 nm UV light were obtained, of which the B-doped carbon dots (B-CDs) showed orange fluorescence, and the P-doped carbon dots (P-CDs) showed red fluorescence. Both carbon dots had satisfactory fluorescence quantum yields and can be used as fluorescence probes. Therefore, we investigated the detection performance of these two carbon dots when they were used as fluorescent probes. B-CDs can selectively detect Co2+ with a detection limit of 0.1102 μM, and at the same time, it can realize the naked eye detection of Co2+ in a certain concentration range. The P-CDs could sensitively detect methylene blue with a detection limit of 0.048 μM.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), a class of carbon-based nanomaterials with dimensions less than 10 nm, have attracted significant interest since their discovery. They possess numerous excellent properties, such as tunability of photoluminescence, environmental friendliness, low cost, and multifunctional applications. Recently, a large number of reviews have emerged that provide overviews of their synthesis, properties, applications, and their composite functionalization. The application of CDs in the field of optoelectronics has also seen unprecedented development due to their excellent optical properties, but reviews of them in this field are relatively rare. With the idea of deepening and broadening the understanding of the applications of CDs in the field of optoelectronics, this review for the first time provides a detailed summary of their applications in the field of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and photodetectors. In addition, the definition, categories, and synthesis methods of CDs are briefly introduced. It is hoped that this review can bring scholars more and deeper understanding in the field of optoelectronic applications of CDs to further promote the practical applications of CDs.

Abstract
A fluorescence probe based on iron oxide quantum dots (IO-QDs) was synthesized using the hydrothermal method for the determination of tetracycline (TCy) and ciprofloxacin (CPx) in aqueous solution. The IO-QDs were characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The as-prepared IO-QDs are fluorescent, stable, and with a fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 9.8 ± 0.12%. The fluorescence of IO-QDs was observed to be quenched and enhanced in the presence of TCy and CPx, respectively. The fluorescence intensity ratio shows linearity at concentrations from 1-100 μM and 5-100 μM for TCy and CPx, respectively; the detection limit for TCy and CPx was estimated to be 0.71 μM and 1.56 μM, respectively. The proposed method was also successfully utilized in the spiked samples of drinking water and honey with good recoveries. The method offered convenience, rapid detection, high sensitivity, selectivity, and cost-efficient alternative options for the determination of TCy and CPx in real samples.

Abstract
Heparin (HEP) is one of the oldest anticoagulant drugs that currently still in widespread clinical use. It lacks chromophore and not easily derivatized due to its hydrophilic nature. In this work we developed a green, selective, and sensitive fluorescence sensor for detection of HEP in its injection dosage forms. The sensor is composed of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots (N,S-CDs) semi quenched by Fe3+. The N,S-CDs were prepared using microwave assisted pyrolysis in 3.5 min and exhibited high emission at 425 nm after excitation at 350 nm with high quantum yield of 96%. Owing to the anionic nature of HEP, it could compete with N,S-CDs for Fe3+ complexation resulting in turning-on the quenched fluorescence. This fluorescence enhancement was linear over a concentration range between 6 and 20 μg/mL (R2 = 0.99) with a limit of detection of 1.41 µg/ml. The accuracy and precision of the proposed sensor were indicated by percentage recovery values between 98% -102% and %RSD less than 2, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed sensor was successfully applied for determination of HEP in injection dosage form. The developed sensor showed excellent greenness on analytical eco-scale (score 93%) and GAPI scale.

Abstract
Over the past decade, carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as some of the extremely popular carbon nanostructures for diverse applications. The advantages of sustainable CDs, characterized by their exceptional photoluminescence (PL), high water solubility/dispersibility, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility, substantiate their potential for a wide range of applications in sensing and biology. Moreover, nature offers plant- and animal-derived precursors for the sustainable synthesis of CDs and their doped variants. These sources are not only readily accessible, inexpensive, and renewable but are also environmentally benign green biomass. This review article presents in detail the production of sustainable CDs from various animal and human biomass through bottom-up synthetic methods, including hydrothermal, microwave, microwave-hydrothermal, and pyrolysis methods. The resulting CDs exhibit a uniform size distribution, possibility of heteroatom doping, surface passivation, and remarkable excitation wavelength-dependent/independent emission and up-conversion PL characteristics. Consequently, these CDs have been successfully utilized in multiple applications, such as bioimaging and the detection of various analytes, including heavy metal ions. Finally, a comprehensive assessment is presented, highlighting the prospects and challenges associated with animal/human biomass-derived CDs for multifaceted applications.

Abstract
Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOF) exhibiting 3D rhombohedral microcrystals were synthesized by the solvothermal method. The structure, morphology, composition, and optical properties of the synthesized MOF were carried out using different spectroscopic, microscopic, and diffraction techniques. Synthesized MOF was rhombohedral in shape and the cage structure of these crystalline molecules was the active binding site of the analyte, tetracycline (TET). The electronic property and size of the cages are chosen such that a specific interaction with TET was observed. Sensing of the analyte was demonstrated by both the electrochemical and fluorescent techniques. The MOF had significant luminescent properties and exhibited excellent electro-catalytic activity due to embedded zirconium metal ions. An electrochemical and fluorescence sensor was fabricated towards TET where TET binds via hydrogen bond to MOF, and causes fluorescence quenching due to the transfer of electrons. Both approaches exhibited high selectivity and good stability in the presence of interfering molecules such as antibiotics, biomolecules, and ions; and showed excellent reliability in tap water and wastewater sample analysis.

Abstract
Vitamin P (VP) known as rutin is one of the common flavonoids, which widely exists in fruits and vegetables and often used as a dietary additive. The rapid and accurate detection of VP in food matrices is critical for evaluating food quality and guiding diet. Herein, a rapid, accurate, and selective detection scheme for VP in fruit samples was proposed for the first time using ionic liquid-based carbon dots (IL-CDs). The synthesized IL-CDs exhibited great biocompatibility and excellent optical properties including high fluorescence intensity, high quantum yield, and good fluorescence stability. Through an internal filtering effect (IFE), VP could greatly reduce the fluorescence of these CDs. In the present study, this probe demonstrated good sensitivity and excellent selectivity toward VP with a low detection limit of 60.0 nmol/L. Moreover, this approach was effectively applied to detect VP in food samples with a recovery range of 97 % to 119 %. More interestingly, the results of cell imaging suggested that IL-CDs were expected to be promising material for bioimaging.

Abstract
In this study, sustainable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly biomass (Terminalia chebula) was employed as a precursor for the formation of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs). The hydrothermally assisted Terminalia chebula fruit-derived N-CDs (TC-CDs) emitted different bright fluorescent colors under various excitation wavelengths. The prepared TC-CDs showed a spherical morphology with a narrow size distribution and excellent water dispensability due to their abundant functionalities, such as oxygen- and nitrogen-bearing molecules on the surfaces of the TC-CDs. Additionally, these TC-CDs exhibited high photostability, good biocompatibility, very low toxicity, and excellent cell permeability against HCT-116 human colon carcinoma cells. The cell viability of HCT-116 human colon carcinoma cells in the presence of TC-CDs aqueous solution was calculated by MTT assay, and cell viability was higher than 95%, even at a higher concentration of 200 μg mL-1 after 24 h incubation time. Finally, the uptake of TC-CDs by HCT-116 human colon carcinoma cells displayed distinguished blue, green, and red colors during in vitro imaging when excited by three filters with different wavelengths under a laser scanning confocal microscope. Thus, TC-CDs could be used as a potential candidate for various biomedical applications. Moreover, the conversion of low-cost/waste natural biomass into products of value promotes the sustainable development of the economy and human society.

Abstract
In this study, we constructed zinc based metal-organic framework functionalized by L-histidine (His@ZiF-8). The His@ZiF-8 had high porosity, large surface area, abundant carboxyl and amino group, which has been found to greatly enhance the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of tetracycline (TC). After the His@ZiF-8 enrichment with TC, the TC exhibited strong fluorescence emission peak at 565 nm based on AIE. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity of TC exhibited a good linear relationship with TC concentration within 0.1-80 μM with a low limit of detection of 28.6 nM. Antibiotic analogs such as neomycin, chloramphenico, ampicillin, kanamycin, and erythromycin have no obvious interference. In addition, the developed method was successfully used to the detection of TC in milk, river water, and honey.

Abstract
A "top-down" synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), novel fluorescent C materials from waste biomass, is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. N-rich cyanobacteria are promising precursors to produce CQDs with high fluorescence (FL) intensity for the detection of metal ions. Herein, we synthesized cyanobacteria-based CQDs using a hydrothermal process and evidenced their high FL intensity and stability. The cyanobacteria-based CQDs showed powerful sensitivity for the specific detection of Fe3+ and Cr6+, which could be ascribed to (i) static FL quenching as a result of the interaction between -OH, -NH2, and -COOH groups with the metal ions, (ii) internal filtering effects between the CQDs and Fe3+ or Cr6+, and (iii) fluorescence resonance energy transfer between CQDs and Cr6+. Humic acids (HAs) coexisting led to an underestimation of Fe3+ but an overestimation of Cr6+ by the CQDs due to the different FL quenching mechanisms of the CQDs. HAs sorbed Fe3+ and wrapped the CQDs to form a barrier between them, inhibiting FL quenching of CQDs by Fe3+. As for Cr6+, HAs reduced Cr6+ and also led to FL quenching; the sorbed HAs on the CQDs acted as a carrier of electrons between Cr6+ and the CQDs, enhancing FL quenching of the CQDs. This study is the first work to evidence the interference of HAs in the detection of metal ions by CQDs derived from cyanobacteria, which would enlighten the application of CQDs in a natural aqueous environment.

Abstract
A novel carbon dot (CD) was synthesized through the facile and simple hydrothermal method from Curcuma amada, as the precursor for the first time. These CDs with an average diameter of 4.6 nm display blue fluorescence, with excitation/emission maxima at 360/445 nm and a quantum yield of 14.1%. It exhibited high stability under different conditions and was characterized using various techniques. These CDs can be employed as a dual-sensing platform to detect tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, two antibiotic classes. Even though antibiotics are regarded as an inevitable commodity, overuse and improper management of discarded antibiotics pose a severe threat to the environment. Herein, we developed a dual-sensing, biocompatible sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity to detect antibiotics. CD was employed as a fluorescence probe and detected tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotic through inner filter effect-based fluorescence quenching and hydrogen bonding-based enhancement process, respectively. The linear range was 0-16 μM and the detection limit was 33 nM for tetracycline and 2 nM for fluoroquinolone antibiotic. As an electrochemical probe, CD selectively detected tetracycline with a lower detection limit of 0.5 nM over a linear range of 0-16 μM. Using both methods, a real sample analysis of the developed sensor exhibited accurate reliability and precision.

Abstract
In this study, a fluorescence sensor based on nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dot/silver nanoparticle (NPCD/AgNP) nanocomposites was developed for metformin hydrochloride (MFH) detection. We first utilized the reducing nature of the NPCDs to prepare AgNPs from Ag+ and subsequently prepare NPCD/AgNP nanocomposites. The nanocomposite material was characterized by various methods, including electron microscopic methods (SEM and TEM), spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, PL, FTIR, and XPS spectroscopy), light scattering (ELS), and XRD. Further, we utilized the enhanced fluorescence of the NPCDs as well as the overlap between the fluorescence emission spectrum of the NPCDs and the absorption spectrum of the AgNPs to use the NPCD/AgNP nanocomposites as an effective inner filter effect (IFE) pair for sensing MFH. The IFE between NPCDs and AgNPs in the nanocomposite material resulted in a significant quenching of the fluorescence intensity of the nanocomposites compared to that of the pure NPCDs. However, the fluorescence was recovered when MFH was introduced into the nanocomposite solution. The fluorescence intensity of the nanocomposites increased linearly as the MFH concentration increased from 2 to 100 µg/L. This detection method showed good sensitivity compared to other methods. It also showed high selectivity and high sensing potential for MFH in human serum and yielded acceptable results.

Abstract
Pollution-induced degradation of the environment is a serious problem for both developing and developed countries. Existing remediation methods are restricted, necessitating the development of novel remediation technologies. Nanomaterials with unique characteristics have recently been developed for remediation. Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles (1-10 nm) with optical and electrical characteristics that differ from bigger particles owing to quantum mechanics, making them intriguing for sensing and remediation applications. Carbon dots (CDs) offer better characteristics than typical QDs, such as, CdSe QDs in terms of contaminant sensing and remediation. Non-toxicity, chemical inertness, photo-induced electron transfer, good biocompatibility, and adjustable photoluminescence behavior are all characteristics of CDs. CDs are frequently made from sustainable raw materials as they are cost-effective, environmentally compactable, and excellent in reducing waste generation. The goal of this review article is to briefly describe CDs fabrication methods, to deeply investigate the criteria and properties of CDs that make them suitable for sensing and remediation of contaminants, and also to highlight recent advances in their use in sensing and remediation of contaminants.

Abstract
Residual antibiotics in food products originated from administration of the antibiotics to animals may be accumulated through food metabolism in the human body and endanger safety and health. Thus, developing a prompt and accurate way for detection of antibiotics is a crucial issue. The zero-dimensional fluorescent probes including metals based, carbon and graphene quantum dots (QDs), are highly sensitive materials to use for the detection of a wide range of antibiotics in natural products. These QDs demonstrate unique optical properties like tunable photoluminescence (PL) and excitation-wavelength dependent emission. This study investigates the trends related to carbon and metal based QDs preparation and modification, and their diverse detection application. We discuss the performance of QDs based sensors application in various detection systems such as photoluminescence, photoelectrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, colorimetric, as well as describing their working principles in several samples. The detecting mechanism of a QDs-based sensor is dependent on its properties and specific interactions with particular antibiotics. This review also tries to describe environmental application and future perspective of QDs for antibiotics detection.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is a thiol that plays a significant role in nutrient metabolism, antioxidant defense and the regulation of cellular events. GSH deficiency is related to variety of diseases, so it is useful to develop novel approaches for GSH evaluation and detection. In this study we used nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dot-gold nanoparticle (NPCD–AuNP) composites to fabricate a simple and selective fluorescence sensor for GSH detection. We employed the reductant potential of the nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (NPCDs) themselves to form AuNPs, and subsequently NPCD–AuNP composites from Au3+. The composites were characterized by using a range of spectroscopic and electron microscopic techniques, including electrophoretic light scattering and X-ray diffraction. The overlap of the fluorescence emission spectrum of NPCDs and the absorption spectrum of AuNPs resulted in an effective inner filter effect (IFE) in the composite material, leading to a quenching of the fluorescence intensity. In the presence of GSH, the fluorescence intensity of the composite was recovered, which increased proportionally to increasing the GSH concentration. In addition, our GSH sensing method showed good selectivity and sensing potential in human serum with a limit of detection of 0.1 µM and acceptable results.

Abstract
In this work, a ratiometric fluorometric method based on luminol-Europium complex (luminol-Eu) was constructed for the detection of tetracycline (TC). Luminol-Eu, synthesized by self-assembly reaction, displayed a strongly emission peak at 453 nm under excitation at 360 nm which was derived from the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of the luminol-Eu. In the present of TC, the fluorescence of luminol-Eu at 453 nm was quenched based on inner filter effect (IFE). Meantime, the characteristic emission peak of Eu3+ at 626 nm can be observed thank to antenna effect (AE). Therefore, we proposed a ratiometric fluorometric method for detection of TC, which allowed detection of TC from 0.5 to 80 μM with the detection limit of 39 nM. In addition, the luminol-Eu-based test paper was prepared for visual semi-quantitative detection of TC in real samples based on the color of luminol-Eu change from blue to red under 365 nm ultraviolet light. All of those results indicated that the ratiometric fluorometric strategy was fast, sensitive, and visual for detection of TC.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles have shown great potential in drug delivery for clinical applications. However, some obstacles still need to be overcome before their clinical translation, including on demand release of drugs to improve the efficacy and monitoring of the drug release process to ascertain drug dosage. Herein, a pH-triggered fluorescence-switchable extracellular vesicle as a smart nanocarrier is fabricated by loading zwitterionic fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) into macrophage cell-secreted vesicles to achieve improved drug delivery and real-time monitoring of drug release. When circulating in the blood, the zwitterionic CDs loaded in the vesicles can tightly bind the chemotherapeutic drug DOX through electrostatic interactions to avoid premature drug unload. The nanocarriers have a long blood circulation half-life of 15.12 h and a high tumor accumulation of 9.88% ID/g. Meanwhile, the fluorescence of the CDs is in the "off" state due to the fluorescence inner filter effect (IFE) between the DOX and the CDs. When the nanocarriers enter the tumor cells, the low pH of the lysosome leads to charge reversal of the CDs. DOX can be quickly released through electrostatic repulsion and the fluorescence of the CDs turns "on" after the release of the drugs, thus enabling an improved drug delivery and real-time tracking of the drug release process.

Abstract
This work describes a novel fluorescent chemoprobe that uses carbon dots and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to monitor mercury ions in aqueous samples attributed to the principle of inner filter effect. The fluorescent response signal of the carbon dots is diminished by AgNPs, attributed to inner filter effect, and is restored with the addition of Hg2+. The fluorescent chemoprobe was specific over the range from 0.01 to 2.5 μM and a high sensitivity of 3.6 nM. The chemoprobe was validated using real local aqueous samples, and the spike recoveries of 97.4%-103% were excellent and satisfied. The data indicated that the developed fluorescent chemoprobe was sensitive, selective, stable and reliable. This fluorescent chemoprobe provides a sensitive tool with broad prospects for mercury detection in aqueous samples and the work will offer ideas for designing and constructing novel fluorescent probes.

In the present paper, a sensitive and selective inner filter effect sensing platform was designed to detect nitrofurantoin (NIT) in pharmaceutical dosage form. Nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon nanodots (CNDs) prepared via solvothermal treatment of folic acid and phosphoric acid. The prepared CNDs exhibit greenish fluorescence at 470 nm when excited at 340 nm with fluorescence quantum yield up to 40%. The CNDs exhibit high stability in various pH, temperature, and ionic strength which adds valuable merits to its pharmaceutical applications. The emission is quenched in the presence of absorber (here NIT) while the fluorophores were not quench by the presence of common pharmaceutical excipients. A fluorometric assay was fabricated to determine NIT in capsules by quenching of the CNDs. The linear response for the proposed method was from 5.0 μM to 90 μM with the detection limit being 1.4 μM. To validate the method, the recovery of NIT in spiked sample was measured which was 96.6% -103.3%. The method was applied to the determination of NIT in pharmaceutical capsule samples, with comparable results of a reference method stated by the British Pharmacopeia (BP). Furthermore, the sub-acute toxicity studies of CNDs were investigated using normal male Balb/c mice forcefully drunk with 3 different dosages of CNDs. Animals did not produce treatment related signs of toxicity or mortality in any of the animals tested during the 28 days observation period. Additionally, no significant (P > 0.05) changes in the body weight, haematological and biochemical parameters compared with the control group were not revealed. Similarly, histopathological examination of the internal vital organs did not show any morphological alterations.

Abstract
The Maillard reaction and its fluorescent products have attracted widespread attention in the field of food safety and biology. Herein, the novel Maillard reaction fluorescent nanoparticles (MRFNs) as a fluorescent probe were synthesized via a “green” method with simple technical processes. In addition, the effects of tetracycline (TC) and chlorotetracycline (CTC) representing certain properties of tetracyclines (TCs) on the fluorescence behaviour of MRFNs were studied, respectively. The present study showed that the fluorescence intensity of MRFNs greatly enhanced with a linear increase in the CTC concentration. However, with the gradual increase in the TC concentration, the intensity of MRFNs tended to significantly decrease linearly. Based on this, novel fluorescence analysis methods for the simple and rapid detection of TC and CTC in water bodies were established, respectively. Significantly, the proposed detection methods were successfully adopted for detecting TC and CTC in some environmental water samples. Besides, the possible mechanisms for TC-induced fluorescence quenching and CTC-induced fluorescence enhancement of MRFNs were also discussed, respectively. The Maillard reaction and its fluorescent products have attracted widespread attention in the field of food safety and biology.![]()

Abstract
Highly sensitive non-contact mode temperature sensing is substantial for studying fundamental chemical reactions, biological processes, and applications in medical diagnostics. Nanoscale-based thermometers are guaranteeing non-invasive probes for sensitive and precise temperature sensing with subcellular resolution. Fluorescence-based temperature sensors have shown great capacity since they operate as "non-contact" mode and offer the dual functions of cellular imaging and sensing the temperature at the molecular level. Advancements in nanomaterials and nanotechnology have led to the development of novel sensors, such as nanothermometers (novel temperature-sensing materials with a high spatial resolution at the nanoscale). Such nanothermometers have been developed using different platforms such as fluorescent proteins, organic compounds, metal nanoparticles, rare-earth-doped nanoparticles, and semiconductor quantum dots. Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted interest in many research fields because of outstanding properties such as strong fluorescence, photobleaching resistance, chemical stability, low-cost precursors, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. Recent reports showed the thermal-sensing behavior of some CDs that make them an alternative to other nanomaterials-based thermometers. This kind of luminescent-based thermometer is promising for nanocavity temperature sensing and thermal mapping to grasp a better understanding of biological processes. With CDs still in its early stages as nanoscale-based material for thermal sensing, in this review, we provide a comprehensive understanding of this novel nanothermometer, methods of functionalization to enhance thermal sensitivity and resolution, and mechanism of the thermal sensing behavior.
