Abstract
Red emitting fluorescent carbon nanomaterials have drawn significant scientific interest in recent years due to their high quantum yield, water-dispersibility, photostability, biocompatibility, ease of surface functionalization, low cost and eco-friendliness. The red emissive characteristics of fluorescent carbon nanomaterials generally depend on the carbon source, reaction time, synthetic approach/methodology, surface functional groups, average size, and other reaction environments, which directly or indirectly help to achieve red emission. The importance of several factors to achieve red fluorescent carbon nanomaterials is highlighted in this review. Numerous plausible theories have been explained in detail to understand the origin of red fluorescence and tunable emission in these carbon-based nanostructures. The above advantages and fluorescence in the red region make them a potential candidate for multifunctional applications in various current fields. Therefore, this review focused on the recent advances in the synthesis approach, mechanism of fluorescence, and electronic and optical properties of red-emitting fluorescent carbon nanomaterials. This review also explains the several innovative applications of red-emitting fluorescent carbon nanomaterials such as biomedicine, light-emitting devices, sensing, photocatalysis, energy, anticounterfeiting, fluorescent silk, artificial photosynthesis, etc. It is hoped that by choosing appropriate methods, the present review can inspire and guide future research on the design of red emissive fluorescent carbon nanomaterials for potential advancements in multifunctional applications.

Abstract
Chemically induced crosslinked enhanced emission (CEE) of urea and citric acid-derived carbon polymer dot (CPD) nanoparticles is established here with a rare zero linker approach, i.e. without the use of any separate crosslinkers. Such chemical CEE like any chemical reaction was achieved through amide bond formation using carbodiimide chemistry, pointing towards the feasibility of developing a general methodology for their formation through engineering the nanoparticle surface functionality. Exhaustive characterization was done to pinpoint the structure, morphology, and photophysics of the CPDs and concurrently eliminate the possibility of the involvement and interference by molecular fluorophores for the unique optical tuning of the CPDs. The structure-photophysics relation was further restated through theoretical studies involving density functional theory (DFT) that correlated significantly well with the experimental findings. Most interestingly, the CPDs revealed pH responsiveness due to the formation or hydrolysis of amide bonds with acid or base, respectively, which was manifested through a spectacular change in fluorescence emission visible to the naked eye through UV illumination. This distinct pH-dependent photoluminescence properties of CPDs opens up an enormous opportunity for interesting applications, including discriminating normal and cancerous cells, which we demonstrate herein as a proof of concept through in vitro imaging.

Biofunctionalization of Graphene-Based FET Sensors through Heterobifunctional Nanoscaffolds: Technology Validation toward Rapid COVID-19 Diagnostics and Monitoring. ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES 2022; 9:2102526. [PMID: 35538925 PMCID: PMC9073996 DOI: 10.1002/admi.202102526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
The biofunctionalization of graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) through vinylsulfonated-polyethyleneimine nanoscaffold is presented for enhanced biosensing of severe acute respiratory-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein and human ferritin, two targets of great importance for the rapid diagnostic and monitoring of individuals with COVID-19. The heterobifunctional nanoscaffold enables covalent immobilization of binding proteins and antifouling polymers while the whole architecture is attached to graphene by multivalent π-π interactions. First, to optimize the sensing platform, concanavalin A is employed for glycoprotein detection. Then, monoclonal antibodies specific against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and human ferritin are anchored, yielding biosensors with limit of detections of 0.74 and 0.23 nm, and apparent affinity constants (K D G F E T ) of 6.7 and 8.8 nm, respectively. Both biosensing platforms show good specificity, fast time response, and wide dynamic range (0.1-100 nm). Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is also detected in spiked nasopharyngeal swab samples. To rigorously validate this biosensing technology, the GFET response is matched with surface plasmon resonance measurements, exhibiting linear correlations (from 2 to 100 ng cm-2) and good agreement in terms of K D values. Finally, the performance of the biosensors fabricated through the nanoscaffold strategy is compared with those obtained through the widely employed monopyrene approach, showing enhanced sensitivity.

Abstract
Due to the biochemical and pharmacological activities, the convenient and effective detection of quercetin (Qc) is very important for biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical medicine. A kind of non-conjugated polymer dots (NCPDs) was used as a versatile and sensitive dual-mode optical output for Qc detection, which was synthesized by hyperbranched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) and l-threonine via environmentallyfriendly way. The dual-mode method proposed in this work had high sensitivity and definiteselectivity for Qc detection. Additionally, it was convenient for the naked eyes to observe the fluorescence brightness and color change.

Abstract
A novel mechanochromic elastomer was manufactured by doping bis(benzoxazolyl)stibene (BBS) into a thermoplastic polyurethane. Both solution casting and melt compounding approaches were tried with a range of BBS concentrations, and an optimal concentration of 0.5% was selected to investigate the mechanochromic mechanism in detail. When the blend film was stretched up to 100%, its emission peaks at 475 and 413 nm changed in intensity ratio from 6.3 to 1.8. When it was released, both the film size and emission peaks largely recovered. By a short annealing at 120 °C, their full recovery was achieved. Its reversion mechanism was proposed and proved by X-ray diffraction. In comparison to previous mechanochromic materials, this smart elastomer is easy to prepare, highly sensitive to stress, facilely renewable in usage, and totally based on biocompatible materials, having potential applications like stress sensors, intelligent devices, and alarming packages.
