SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 310:123952. [PMID: 38295594 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.123952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) possess the merits such as energy efficiency, green sustainability and environmental friendliness, comparing with top-down synthesis methods at higher pressure or temperature condition. Here, a variety of emission states CDs were prepared by using the method of room temperature chemistry by selecting green raw materials such as glucose, p-phthalaldehyde and m-diethylaminophenol. The luminescence mechanism was studied in detail. The luminescent center of blue emitting carbon dots (B-CDs) and green emitting carbon dots (G-CDs) is CO bond, and the increased contents of CO bond lead to the creation of new energy levels between the energy gaps of HOMO and LUMO levels, which results in the red shift of luminescence wavelength. The emission state of red emitting carbon dots (R-CDs) is due to the formation of amino N. In addition, R-CDs have an exclusive respond to dopamine (DA) and are regarded as good fluorescent probes for detecting DA. Furthermore, the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) restores the luminescence of R-CDs quenched by DA. Therefore, R-CDs has great application potential as a selective fluorescent "turn on-off" probe.

Recent Advances in Dietary Sources, Health Benefits, Emerging Encapsulation Methods, Food Fortification, and New Sensor-Based Monitoring of Vitamin B 12: A Critical Review. Molecules 2023; 28:7469. [PMID: 38005191 PMCID: PMC10673454 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28227469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
In this overview, the latest achievements in dietary origins, absorption mechanism, bioavailability assay, health advantages, cutting-edge encapsulation techniques, fortification approaches, and innovative highly sensitive sensor-based detection methods of vitamin B12 (VB12) were addressed. The cobalt-centered vitamin B is mainly found in animal products, posing challenges for strict vegetarians and vegans. Its bioavailability is highly influenced by intrinsic factor, absorption in the ileum, and liver reabsorption. VB12 mainly contributes to blood cell synthesis, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health, and potentially reduces anemia and optic neuropathy. Microencapsulation techniques improve the stability and controlled release of VB12. Co-microencapsulation of VB12 with other vitamins and bioactive compounds enhances bioavailability and controlled release, providing versatile initiatives for improving bio-functionality. Nanotechnology, including nanovesicles, nanoemulsions, and nanoparticles can enhance the delivery, stability, and bioavailability of VB12 in diverse applications, ranging from antimicrobial agents to skincare and oral insulin delivery. Staple food fortification with encapsulated and free VB12 emerges as a prominent strategy to combat deficiency and promote nutritional value. Biosensing technologies, such as electrochemical and optical biosensors, offer rapid, portable, and sensitive VB12 assessment. Carbon dot-based fluorescent nanosensors, nanocluster-based fluorescent probes, and electrochemical sensors show promise for precise detection, especially in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Polymerization and carbonization are believed as two basic processes for the bottom-up synthesis of carbon dots (CDs). Since these two processes usually occur simultaneously due to the high reaction temperature and fast reaction rate, it is still a challenge to separate and control these two processes. In the present work, we reported a new room temperature method, which achieved the separated and controlled polymerization and carbonization processes. The polymerization process is realized by dissolving o-phenylenediamine (OPD) in ethanol at room temperature, and finally obtained polymer dots (PDs) without any lattice with a sphere size of 29.6 nm. The carbonization process begins in a manual way by adding concentrated sulfuric acid. After carbonization, CDs (noted as CPDs in this work) with a size of 3.6 nm and a clear lattice can be obtained. Importantly, the separated polymerization and carbonization make us possible to adjust the composition or interactions of intermediate products during the synthesis process. As a prototype, we added acetic acid (AA) additives into OPD precursors during the polymerization stage. Due to the crosslink enhanced emission (CEE) effect via hydrogen bonds which are produced by the amide groups from AA reaction products with H in the -NH3+ or aromatic ring, the resulted CPDs show improved PLQY from an initial 6.87% (without AA) to 16.47%. The current work realized the separated and controllable polymerization and carbonization processes, opening up the door for tuning the composition and interactions of intermediate products before carbonization.

Abstract
Exposure to constituent hazardous chemicals in medical products has become a threat to environmental health across the globe. Excessive medication and the mishandling of pharmaceutical drugs can lead to the increased presence of chemicals in the aquatic environment, causing water pollution. Only a few nanomaterials exist for the detection of these chemicals and they are limited in use due to their adverse toxicity, instability, cost, and low aqueous solubility. In contrast, carbon dots (C-dots), a member of the family of carbon-based nanomaterials, have various beneficial properties including excellent biocompatibility, strong photoluminescence, low photobleaching, tunable fluorescence, and easy surface modification. Herein, we summarize recent advancements in various synthetic strategies for high-quality tunable fluorescent C-dots. The root of fluorescence has been briefly explained via the quantum confinement effect, surface defects, and molecular fluorescence. The surface functional moieties of C-dots have been investigated in depth to recognize the various types of pharmaceutical drugs that are used for the treatment of patients. The modulation of C-dot fluorescence in the course of their interactions with these drugs has been carefully explained. Different types of interaction mechanisms behind the C-dot fluorescence alteration have been discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of C-dots have been proposed for the vibrant field development of C-dot-based drug sensors.
