Simple and green approach for photoluminescent carbon dots prepared from faba bean seeds as a luminescent probe for determination of Hg + ions and cell imaging. LUMINESCENCE 2023; 38:1929-1937. [PMID: 37591667 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
In this research, for the first time, a dedicated sensor was designed to detect Hg+ ions using photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs). Due to the preferred green synthesis of CDs from bio-resources, carbohydrate-rich faba bean seeds as a potential carbon precursor were applied to the synthesis of CDs. The CDs were prepared from the faba bean seeds using the hydrothermal method in an aqueous solution in the absence of substances such as an acid or base and any other additives. The synthesized CDs exhibited maximum emission intensity at 387 nm when excited at 310 nm and their luminescence quantum yield was calculated to be ~5.94%. Then, the fluorescence emission of CDs was examined in the presence of different metal ions. Results revealed that the CDs had good selectivity towards the Hg+ ions, so the fluorescence emission was significantly changed in the presence of these ions with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.35 μM. Furthermore, because of their very low cytotoxicity, these CDs can be applied for cell imaging.

Abstract
In order to safeguard authentic whiskey products from fraudulent or counterfeit practices, high throughput solutions that provide robust, rapid, and reliable solutions are required. The implementation of some analytical strategies is quite challenging or costly in routine analysis. Qualitative screening of whiskey products has been explored, but due to the nonspecificity of the chemical compounds, a more quantitative confirmatory technique is required to validate the result of the whiskey analysis. Hence, combining analytical and chemometric methods has been fundamental in whiskey sample differentiation and classification. A comprehensive update on the most relevant and current analytical techniques, including spectroscopic, chromatographic, and novel technologies employed within the last 5 years in whiskey analysis for authentication, discrimination, and quality control, are presented. Furthermore, the technical challenges in employing these analytical techniques, future trends, and perspectives are emphasized.

Fluorescent Carbon Dots from Food Industry By-Products for Cell Imaging. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14020090.

Abstract
Herein, following a circular economy approach, we present the synthesis of luminescent carbon dots via the thermal treatment of chestnut and peanut shells, which are abundant carbon-rich food industry by-products. As-synthesized carbon dots have excellent water dispersibility thanks to their negative surface groups, good luminescence, and photo-stability. The excitation-emission behaviour as well as the surface functionalization of these carbon dots can be tuned by changing the carbon source (chestnuts or peanuts) and the dispersing medium (water or ammonium hydroxide solution). Preliminary in vitro biological data proved that the samples are not cytotoxic to fibroblasts and can act as luminescent probes for cellular imaging. In addition, these carbon dots have a pH-dependent luminescence and may, therefore, serve as cellular pH sensors. This work paves the way towards the development of more sustainable carbon dot production for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials are promising for a wide range of biomedical applications, i.e. drug delivery, therapy, and imaging including photoacoustic tomography, where they can serve as contrast agents, biocompatibility and biodistribution of which should be assessed before clinical setting. In this paper, localization of carbon flurooxide nanoparticles, carbon nanodots from β-alanine, carbon nanodots from urea and citric acid and glucose-ethylenediamine nanoparticles (NPs) in organs of Wistar rats were studied by photoacoustic measurements after 24 h of their intravenous injection. 16 ns light pulse from a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with 1064 nm wavelength was used as an excitation source. The laser-induced photoacoustic signals were recorded with a ring piezoelectric detector. Light absorption by carbon NPs resulted in noticeable enhancement of the photoacoustic amplitude in the tissues where the NPs were accumulated. The NPs were preferably accumulated in liver, kidneys and spleen, and to a lesser extent in heart and gastrocnemius muscles. Together with remarkable fluorescent properties of the studied carbon nanomaterials, their photoacoustic responses allow their application for bi-modal fluorescence-photoacoustic bio-imaging.

Abstract
Nitrogen- and oxygen-containing carbon nanoparticles (O, N-CDs) were prepared by a facile one-step solvothermal method using urea and citric acid precursors. This method is cost-effective and easily scalable, and the resulting O, N-CDs can be used without additional functionalization and sample pretreatment. The structure of O, N-CDs was characterized by TEM, AFM, Raman, UV-vis, and FTIR spectroscopies. The obtained O, N-CDs with a mean diameter of 4.4 nm can be easily dispersed in aqueous solutions. The colloidal aqueous solutions of O, N-CDs show significant photothermal responses under red-IR and radiofrequency (RF) irradiations. The as-prepared O, N-CDs have a bright temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL). PL/PLE spectral maps were shown to be used for temperature evaluation purposes in the range of 30–50 °C. In such a way, the O, N-CDs could be used for biomedicine-related applications such as hyperthermia with simultaneous temperature estimation with PL imaging.
