Abstract
In this study, a method for ultrasensitive sensing of Fe2+ based on Fenton reaction mediated etching of triangular gold nanoplates (Au NPLs) was developed. In this assay, the etching of Au NPLs by H2O2 was accelerated in the presence of Fe2+ due to the generation of superoxide free radical (O2·-) via Fenton reaction. With the concentration of Fe2+ increased, the shape of Au NPLs changed from triangular to sphere with the blue shifted localized surface plasmon resonance, accompanying a series of consecutive color changes from blue, bluish purple, purple, reddish purple and finally to pink. The rich color variations enable rapid visual quantitative determination of Fe2+ within 10 min. A good linear relationship between the peak shifts and the concentration of Fe2+ was obtained in the range of 0.035 to 1.5 μM (R2 = 0.996). Favorable sensitivity and selectivity in the presence of other tested metal ions were achieved in the proposed colorimetric assay. The detection limits (3ơ/k) for Fe2+ was 26 nM by UV-vis spectroscopy, and the clearly discernible concentration of Fe2+ was as low as 0.07 μM by naked eyes. The recoveries of fortified samples in pond water and serum samples ranged from 96% to 106% with interday relative standard deviations <3.6% in all cases, demonstrating the applicability of the assay for measuring Fe2+ in real samples.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) correspond to carbon-based materials (CBM) with sizes usually below 10 nm. These nanomaterials exhibit attractive properties such us low toxicity, good stability, and high conductivity, which have promoted their thorough study over the past two decades. The current review describes four types of CDs: carbon quantum dots (CQDs), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), carbon nanodots (CNDs), and carbonized polymers dots (CPDs), together with the state of the art of the main routes for their preparation, either by "top-down" or "bottom-up" approaches. Moreover, among the various usages of CDs within biomedicine, we have focused on their application as a novel class of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents, concretely, owing their photoactivation capability that triggers an enhanced antibacterial property. Our work presents the recent advances in this field addressing CDs, their composites and hybrids, applied as photosensitizers (PS), and photothermal agents (PA) within antibacterial strategies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and synchronic PDT/PTT. Furthermore, we discuss the prospects for the possible future development of large-scale preparation of CDs, and the potential for these nanomaterials to be employed in applications to combat other pathogens harmful to human health. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.

Abstract
This research work aims to propose an extraction method using chitosan as the sorbent and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the colorimetric sensor for the development of a simple, cost-effective, rapid, sensitive, and selective detection method for histidine. The colorimetric assay is based on the aggregation of AuNPs in the presence of Hg2+ ions and histidine. The state of AuNPs generally changes from dispersion to aggregation. The change in state is accompanied by a corresponding change in color (from red wine to blue). Therefore, the solid phase extraction (SPE) method using chitosan as the sorbent was used to extract the AuNPs to improve the sensitivity of detection. It was found that the extraction by means of a sensor system using chitosan could increase the detection signal for histidine by 10 times. The calibration curve, which is the plot of absorbance ratio (A650/A528) against the concentration of histidine, shows a linear relation in the concentration range of 100 - 800 nM. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the method were found to be 99.88 and 107.45 nM, respectively. Good recoveries were also obtained (range: 99.75 - 104.43%) with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 5.89% in real water samples. Moreover, this method can be used for the selective detection of histidine even in the presence of other amino acids. The proposed method has been successfully used in the determination of histidine in mineral water samples.

Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize dimethylglyoxime (DMG) (N-source)-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) via simultaneous pyrolysis of citric acid and 1.0% (w/v) DMG. The maximum excitation wavelength (λmax, ex = 380 nm) of the N-GQD solution (49% quantum yield (QY)) was a red shift with respect to that of bare GQDs (λmax, ex = 365 nm) (46% QY); at the same maximum emission wavelength (λmax, em = 460 nm), their resonance light scattering (RLS) intensity peak was observed at λmax, ex/em = 530/533 nm. FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XRD, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses were performed to examine the synthesized materials. The selective and sensitive detection of Ni2+ using the RLS intensity was performed at 533 nm under the optimum conditions consisting of both 25 mg L-1 N-GQDs and 2.5 mg L-1 DMG in the ammonium buffer solution of pH 9.0. The linearity of Ni2+ was 50.0-200.0 μg L-1 with a regression line, y = 5.031x - 190.4 (r 2 = 0.9948). The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined to be 20.0 and 60.0 μg L-1, respectively. The method precision expressed as % RSDs was 4.90 for intraday (n = 3 × 3) and 7.65 for interday (n = 5 × 3). This developed method afforded good recoveries of Ni2+ in a range of 85-108% when spiked with real water samples. Overall, this innovative method illustrated the identification and detection of Ni2+ as a DMG complex with N-GQDs, and the detection was highly sensitive and selective.

Abstract
In current work, novel functionalized carbon dots have been designed and synthesized by covalently linking dopamine to the surface of S,N co-doped carbon dots (DA-S,N-CDs) for the selective detection of Fe3+ and Fe2+ in water. The as-synthesized DA-S,N-CDs emit blue fluorescence peaked at 470 nm and exhibit excitation-dependent tunable emissions. The tolerance towards pH, salt, and UV irradiation of synthesized carbon dots reveals excellent stability. Upon exposure to Fe3+ or Fe2+, the fluorescence of DA-S,N-CDs was selectively quenched, while other competitive cations did not change significantly. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the fluorescence intensity of DA-S,N-CDs showed a good linear relationship with the concentrations of Fe3+ and Fe2+ (5 - 200 μM for Fe3+ and 5 - 300 μM for Fe2+), and the limit of detection was 2.86 and 2.06 μM, respectively. Furthermore, considering the excellent stability and anti-interference, DA-S,N-CDs have been successfully used for the detection of Fe3+ and Fe2+ in environmental water.

Abstract
This study aims to use graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a fluorescence switching sensor (turn on-off) for the simultaneous detection of cyanide (CN-) and ferricyanide [Fe(CN)6]3- in wastewater samples. The GQDs were synthesized by pyrolyzing solid citric acid. The intrinsic blue color of the solution was observed under ultraviolet irradiation. The fluorescence spectrum was maximized at both excitation and emission wavelengths of 370 and 460 nm, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of GQDs decorated with Hg2+ (turn-off mode as the starting baseline) could be selectively turned on in the presence of CN- and once back to turn-off mode by [Fe(CN)6]3-. The fluorescence switching properties were used to develop a fluorescence turn-on-off sensor that could be used to detect trace amounts of CN- and [Fe(CN)6]3- in water samples. For highly sensitive detection under optimum conditions (Britton-Robinson buffer solution in the pH range of 8.0-9.0, linearity ranges of 5.0-15.0 μM (R 2 = 0.9976) and 10.0-50.0 μM (R 2 = 0.9994), respectively, and detection limits of 3.10 and 9.48 μM, respectively), good recoveries in the ranges of 85.89-112.66% and 84.88-113.92% for CN- and [Fe(CN)6]3-, respectively, were recorded. The developed methods were successfully used for the simultaneous and selective detection of CN- and [Fe(CN)6]3- in wastewater samples obtained from local municipal water reservoirs.

Abstract
Herein, we have synthesized Gd2O3:Yb,Er@UiO-66-NH2 (UiO-66-NH2 represent a zirconium-based metal organic framework [Zr6O4(OH)4(ata)12], ata: 2-aminoterephthalate) core-shell composites to develop an upconversion fluorescent nanoprobe for efficient detection of trace methylene blue (MB) and ferrous ions (Fe2+). Due to the fluorescence of the nanoprobe can be quenched by MB based on inner filter effect, but gradually recover when contact with ·OH, which is generated from the reaction between H2O2 and Fe2+, we have achieved the detection of Fe2+. The detection linear range is from 1.78 to 15.8 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.071 μM. Besides, in this process, we also simultaneously realize the detection of MB. The linear range of MB turn-off detection is 0-42.6 μM, and the LOD is 0.41 μM. To our knowledge, no example of using upconversion fluorescence probe for continuous detection of trace MB and Fe2+ has been reported for now, and test results are superior compared with most reported Fe2+ probes. Moreover, the combinations of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have enhanced the selectivity and sensitivity of the probe towards MB and Fe2+. Therefore, we believe the designed upconversion fluorescent nanoprobe is a promising efficient tool in detecting MB and diagnose Fe2+ related diseases in the future.

Abstract
This study was planned to recycle calcium and the phosphorus-rich Nile tilapia fish scale biowaste into nano-hydroxyapatite (FHAP), using ultrasonic-assisted extraction of calcium and phosphorus from fish scales, which was optimized in term of extraction time, acid concentration, extraction temperature, and ultrasonic power. These two elements were determined simultaneously by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and the FHAP phase was formed upon addition of the extracted element solution in alkaline medium using homogenous precipitation assisted with ultrasound energy. The FHAP adsorbent was characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. A combination of FHAP and the ultrasonic method was then used to remove Hg2+ from aqueous solution. Four significant variables affecting Hg2+ removal, namely, adsorbent dosage, pH, ultrasonic power, and adsorption time, were studied. The results exhibited that the optimal conditions for maximizing the removal of Hg2+ were 0.02 g adsorbent dosage, pH 8, 0.4 kW ultrasonic power, 20 min adsorption time, and 30 °C adsorption temperature. The sorption mechanism of Hg2+ was revealed by isotherm modeling, indicating that FHAP adsorbent has a potential for Hg2+ removal in aqueous media with the maximum adsorption capacity being 227.27 mg g-1. This adsorption behavior is in agreement with the Langmuir model as reflected by a satisfactory R2 value of 0.9967, when the kinetics data were fitted with pseudo-second-order. Therefore, the FHAP could be an alternative adsorbent for the ultrasonic-assisted removal of Hg2+ at very high efficiency and within a very short period of time.

Abstract
A simple and fast spectrofluorimetric method coupled with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) modified ZnO/CdS nanoparticles was developed for the detection of Ferric iron (Fe(III)). The fluorescence of CQDs/ZnO/CdS NPs was effectively quenched by Fe(III) due to the strong interaction between the CQDs/ZnO/CdS NPs and Fe(III). In addition, the detection limit of Fe(III) was about 1.72×10-7M. The effect of foreign ions on the fluorescence intensity of CQDs/ZnO/CdS NPs showed that the interference response in detecting of Fe(III) ions was low. Moreover, the quenching of Fe(III) and CQDs/ZnO/CdS NPs was discussed to be a static quenching procedure, which was proved by quenching constant KSV and fluorescence lifetime τ. The study of thermodynamics showed that the values of entropy change (ΔS) and enthalpy change (ΔH) were both positive, and the value of free energy (ΔG) was negative, which implied that the weak interaction of the molecular between CQDs/ZnO/CdS NPs and Fe(III) was hydrophobic force, and the quenching process was endothermic and spontaneous.

Abstract
Dual functional fluorescence nanosensors have many potential applications in biology and medicine. Monitoring temperature with higher precision at localized small length scales or in a nanocavity is a necessity in various applications. As well as the detection of biologically interesting metal ions using low-cost and sensitive approach is of great importance in bioanalysis. In this paper, we describe the preparation of dual-function highly fluorescent B, N-co-doped carbon nanodots (CDs) that work as chemical and thermal sensors. The CDs emit blue fluorescence peaked at 450 nm and exhibit up to 70% photoluminescence quantum yield with showing excitation-independent fluorescence. We also show that water-soluble CDs display temperature-dependent fluorescence and can serve as highly sensitive and reliable nanothermometers with a thermo-sensitivity 1.8% °C-1, and wide range thermo-sensing between 0-90 °C with excellent recovery. Moreover, the fluorescence emission of CDs are selectively quenched after the addition of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions while show no quenching with adding other common metal cations and anions. The fluorescence emission shows a good linear correlation with concentration of Fe2+ and Fe3+ (R2 = 0.9908 for Fe2+ and R2 = 0.9892 for Fe3+) with a detection limit of of 80.0 ± 0.5 nM for Fe2+ and 110.0 ± 0.5 nM for Fe3+. Considering the high quantum yield and selectivity, CDs are exploited to design a nanoprobe towards iron detection in a biological sample. The fluorimetric assay is used to detect Fe2+ in iron capsules and total iron in serum samples successfully.

Abstract
Sulfur-doped carbon quantum dots (S-CQDs) with stable blue fluorescence were synthesized through a facile one-step hydrothermal method by using ascorbic acid and thioglycolic acid as carbon and sulfur sources. The prepared S-CQDs exhibited a sensitive and selective response to Fe3+ ions in comparison with Fe2+ and other metal ions, In the presence of adequate H2O2, Fe2+ was completely transformed to Fe3+ that is the determinable form of iron ions, and the difference in the change of the fluorescence intensity of S-CQDs before and after adding H2O2 was used for detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions, respectively. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the fluorescence intensity of S-CQDs gradually decreased with increasing of Fe3+ concentration ranging from 0 to 200 μM. Good linearity was achieved over the range of 0-200 μM. The detection limit of the developed method was 0.050 μM for Fe3+. The recoveries of Fe2+ and Fe3+ spiked in real samples ranged from 98.2% to 112.4%. Finally, the proposed S-CQDs integrated with Fenton system was applied to the detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in oral ferrous gluconate samples, which presents potential applications in the speciation and determination of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in complex samples.

Abstract
Heteroatom doping can endow graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with various new or improved structural, optical and physicochemical properties. In contrast to the widely reported oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur doping in GQDs, simple and scalable synthesis of boron-doped GQDs (B-GQDs) with high yield and quantum yields remains challenge. In this work, B-GQDs are one-step synthesized and serve as the fluorescence probes for the fabrication of sensors towards Fe3+ ion or phosphate (Pi) as well as biosensor towards cytochrome C (Cyt C). The B-GQDs are facile synthesized using one-step bottom-up molecular fusion between 1,3,6-trinitropyrene and borax in sodium hydroxide under hydrothermal process. The synthesis can be performed using large volume autoclave (500 ml) with a high yield of 71%, indicating possibility for gram-scale production of B-GQDs. The as-prepared B-GQDs exhibit single or bilayer graphene structure, high crystallinity, uniform size, bright (absolute photoluminescence quantum yield of 16.8%) and excitation-independent green fluorescence (maximum excitation wavelength and emission wavelength of 480 nm and 520 nm, respectively). Successful doping of B atoms in the lattice of GQDs enables high selectivity towards Fe3+. Based on quenching of fluorescence of B-GQDs by Fe3+ (turn-off model), detection of Fe3+ (with limit of detection-LOD of 31.2 nM) and Fe3+-rich Cyt C (with LOD of 5.9 μg/ml) are demonstrated. As Pi can recover Fe3+-quenched fluorescence of B-GQDs (turn-off-on model), indirect fluorescent detection of Pi is also achieved with LOD of 340 nM. In addition, detection of Fe3+, Cyt C and Pi in real samples is achieved.

Abstract
A multi-hydroxyl Schiff-base derivative, N-2'-hydroxyl-1'-naphthyl methylene-2-amino phenol (HNMAP), was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. It was noted to find there was great effect for solvent and pH on the UV-vis spectroscopy of HNMAP. Especially, some metal ions could make its UV-vis spectra changed regularly with different time-resolved effects. For example, a real-time and multi-wavelength response to Fe2+ at 520 nm, 466 nm and 447 nm and a quite slow one about 26 min to Fe3+ at 447 nm and 466 nm, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, the changes in the corresponding absorption intensities at above wavelengths were in proportion to cFe2+ or cFe3+ during respectively partitioned linear ranges, which realized to quantitatively detect Fe2+ or Fe3+ with a large linear range more than two orders of magnitude. A 1:1 complex mode for HNMAP-Fe2+ and 1:2 for HNMAP-Fe3+ were proposed from UV-vis spectral titration and Job's plot. HNMAP would be a potential sensor for colorimetric detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in practice.
