Abstract
Highly stable nitrogen-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (N-GQD) functionalized with Pamoic Acid (PA@N-GQD) are utilized for nanomolar detection of radioactive elements, Uranium (VI) and Thorium (IV), in pH ± 5.0. The absorption, fluorescence, crystalline nature, elemental composition, functional groups, and morphological state of as-prepared PA@N-GQD are evaluated by UV-visible absorption, photoluminescence, XRD, XPS, FTIR, HRTEM, FESEM, and AFM characterizations. The aqueous solution of PA@N-GQD is characterized by its spherical morphology, averaging 6.5 nm in size. PA@N-GQD exhibits a gradual decrease in fluorescence intensity at 438 nm (λex 344 nm) upon the addition of Uranium (VI) and Thorium (IV) ions. The selectivity, sensitivity, competitivity, pH, time effect, and reversibility studies of PA@N-GQDs have been carried out using the photoluminescence technique. The attained fluorescence Limit of Detection (LoD) of PA@N-GQD for Uranium (VI) and Thorium (IV) ions are 2.009 × 10-9 and 1.351 × 10-9 M, respectively. From the fluorescence titration studies of U(VI) and Th(IV), the binding constant, Stern-Volmer constant, Modified Stern-Volmer constant, association constant, and dissociation constants have been calculated separately. These aforementioned results indicate that the PA@N-GQD has a higher binding affinity towards Th(IV) than U(VI) in aqueous medium. This current research represents the development of advanced materials for environmental and analytical applications, specifically focusing on the precise detection and quantification of radioactive elements.

Comparison of Synthetic Pathways for Obtaining Fluorescent Nanomaterials Based on Halloysite and Carbon Dots for Potential Biological Sensing. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5370. [PMID: 38791408 PMCID: PMC11121483 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105370] [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: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, fluorescent sensors have gained considerable attention due to their high sensitivity, low cost and noninvasiveness. Among the different materials that can be used for this purpose, carbon dots (CDs) represent valuable candidates for applications in sensing. These, indeed, are easily synthesized, show high quantum yield and are highly biocompatible. However, it was pointed out that the photoluminescence properties of these nanomaterials are strictly dependent on the synthetic and purification methods adopted. The presence of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), a natural, low cost and biocompatible clay mineral, has been found to be efficient in obtaining small and highly monodispersed CDs without long and tedious purification techniques. Herein, we report the comparison of synthetic pathways for obtaining halloysite-N-doped CDs (HNTs-NCDs) that could be used in biological sensing. One was based on the synthesis of N-doped CDs by a bottom-up approach on HNTs' surface by a MW pyrolysis process; the other one was based on the post-modification of pristine N-doped CDs with halloysite derivatives. The evaluation of the best synthetic route was performed by different physico-chemical techniques. It was found that the bottom-up approach led to the formation of N-doped CDs with different functional groups onto the HNTs' surface. This evidence was also translated in the different fluorescence quantum yields and the existence of several functional groups in the obtained materials was investigated by potentiometric titrations. Furthermore, the ability of the synthesized nanomaterials as sensors for Fe3+ ions detection was assessed by spectroscopic measurements, and the cellular uptake was verified by confocal/fluorescence microscopies as well.

Abstract
Synthesis of lignin-based carbon dots (LCDs) with high quantum yield (QY), stable fluorescence properties and biocompatibility has been a challenge. Here, we propose an improved two-step strategy for producing high-quality LCDs from enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL). The p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid used in the strategy not only provides nitrogen and sulfur elements, but also tailors the disordered three-dimensional structure of EHL. The successful co-doping of N and S elements favors the reduction of the optical energy bandgap (Eg), resulting in a high QY of 45.05% for LCDs. The LCDs exhibited superior selectivity and sensitivity for Fe3+ with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.15 μM when Fe3+ concentration was 50-500 μM. In addition, LCDs demonstrated significant fluorescence in HepG2 cells and HepG2 cells loaded with LCDs at a concentration of 80 μg/mL showed good viability, suggesting that they are suitable for in vivo applications. The luminescent centers of LCDs change during pH regulation and thus show a special visual response to pH changes, making them have great potential for detecting metabolism in living cells. This work provides a novel and low-cost method for fabricating sustainable fluorescent probes for chemical sensing and bioimaging.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQD) have drawn great interest worldwide for their extensive application as sensors due to their extraordinary physical and chemical characteristics, good biocompatibility, and high fluorescence in nature. Here, we demonstrate a technique for detecting mercury (Hg2+) ion using a fluorescent CQD probe. Ecology is concerned about the accumulation of heavy metal ions in water samples due to their harmful effects on human health. Sensitive identification and removal of metal ions from water samples are required to reduce heavy metals' risk. To find out Mercury in the water sample, carbon quantum dots were used and synthesized by 5-dimethyl amino methyl furfuryl alcohol and o-phenylene diamine through the hydrothermal technique. The synthesized CQD shows yellow emission when exposed to UV irradiation. Mercury ion was used to quench carbon quantum dots, and it was found that the detection limit was 5.2 nM with a linear range of 15-100 µM. The synthesized carbon quantum dots were demonstrated to efficiently detect Mercury ions in real water samples.

Abstract
In modern era, electronic wastes are one of the major threats around us, most of them are reused with less efficiency instead of re-usage, and conversion into valuable products is highly recommended. In this work, we report an innovative approach for the synthesis of highly photoluminescent CDs from waste dry-cell batteries through one-step hydrothermal treatment for the detection and degradation of environmental pollutants. The as-prepared CDs were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), HR-TEM studies, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectrometer, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometer, and spectrofluorometric measurements. The calculated quantum yield for synthesized CDs was around 13 %. The CDs have uniform particle size distribution, strong photoluminescent behavior, and possess high stability against various environmental conditions. Also, CDs display the selective and sensitive detection of Cr6+ and Co2+ and ions with a detection limit of around 0.11 µM and 0.10 µM respectively. The possible mechanism of CDs was also examined. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of CDs with Bromothymol Blue (BTB) dye was studied. The degradation efficiency of BTB dye can be achieved at around 84 % over 180 min under the irradiation of direct sunlight in presence of H2O2. To date, it's the first time we have recycled waste dry-cell batteries into CDs as an effective probe for the detection and decomposition of environmental pollution. Furthermore, this work provides not only an easier route to make good quality and improved photoluminescent CDs from waste material like used batteries and also paves way for the reconversion of global treating waste. Finally, the outstanding detection capability with multiple properties of as-prepared CDs provides various environmental applications like the detection of pollutants and carcinogenic polluted water treatment.

Abstract
In this study, dual-emissive carbon dots (CDs) were prepared using p-phenylenediamine (pPDA) and phytic acid (PA) precursors via a one-pot-hydrothermal method. The photophysical, morphological, and structural characterization of CDs was carried out using absorption, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis. The as-prepared CDs displayed dual-fluorescence peaks at 525 and 620 nm upon excitation at 450 nm. The CDs showed good photostability and exhibited solvent-dependent fluorescence properties. The solvatochromic behavior of CDs was utilized to detect water content in organic solvents. Furthermore, the dual-emissive property of CDs was utilized for the sequential detection of ferric (Fe3+) and pyrophosphate ions (PPi) by a fluorescence turn-off-on mechanism. The proposed assay showed appreciable fluorescence response toward Fe3+ and PPi with high selectivity and good tolerance for common interfering ions. The potential practical application of the CD probe was ascertained by carrying out the fluorometric detection of PPi to affirm the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (negative and positive clinical samples).

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal treatment of wild jujube and dl-tryptophan. The structure and properties of the CDs were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and so on. The as-prepared CDs exhibit excellent excitation-independent but pH-dependent (4.0-12.0) fluorescent features and emit blue strong fluorescence under 365 nm light. Hg2+ can decrease the fluorescence intensity of the CDs through static quenching, while the addition of oxalic acid (OA) recovers it owing to the coordination binding between oxalic acid and Hg2+. Based on this, the as-prepared CDs were used as a new "off-on" fluorescent probe for highly sensitive determination of oxalic acid with a wide linear detection range of 0.1-20 mg L-1 and a low detection limit of 0.057 mg L-1. Moreover, the fluorescent probe was successfully applied to detect oxalic acid in tomato and cherry tomato samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
A simple one-step solid-state pyrolysis method has been employed to synthesize highly crystalline nitrogen-doped carbon dots using adipic acid and urea as carbon and nitrogen sources. The prepared carbon dots displayed UV emission ( λex = 290 nm and λem = 370 nm) and blue fluorescence emission ( λex = 360 nm and λem = 420 nm). These crystalline nitrogen-doped carbon dots exhibited a quantum yield of 6% with tryptophan as standard at 370 nm emission and 14% with quine sulfate as standard at 420 nm emission. The synthesized carbon dots were spherical, having a mean particle diameter of 2.56 ± 0.57 nm. The prepared carbon dots have large functional groups on their surface, which renders excellent water solubility to them. Carbon dots was used as selective and sensitive turn off sensor for detection of picric acid Metanil yellow with the linear response for picric acid ranging from 2 μM to 22 μM and 2-45 μM with a detection limit of 0.06 μM and 0.45 μM and for Metanil yellow ranging from 1 μM to 30 μM with a detection limit of 0.32 μM. The mechanism for detecting metanil yellow is proposed to be the inner filter effect. At the same time, it is both the inner filter effect and FRET for picric acid. The actual sample application of carbon dots as a nanosensor was tested to detect metanil yellow as an adulterant in turmeric powder.

Abstract
A novel cascade biorefinery strategy toward phenolic monomers and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is proposed here via coupling catalytic hydrogenolysis and hydrothermal treatment. Birch wood was first treated with catalytic hydrogenolysis to afford a high yield of monomeric phenols (44.6 wt%), in which 4-propanol guaiacol (10.2 wt%) and 4-propanol syringol (29.7 wt%) were identified as the two major phenolic products with 89% selectivity. An available carbohydrate pulp retaining 82.4% cellulose and 71.6% hemicellulose was also obtained simultaneously, which was further used for the synthesis of CQDs by a one-step hydrothermal process. The as-prepared CQDs exhibited excellent selectivity and detection limits for several heavy metal cations, especially for Fe3+ ions in an aqueous solution. Those cost-efficient CQDs showed great potential in fluorescent sensor in situ environmental analyses. These findings provide a promising path toward developing high-performance sensors on environmental monitoring and a new route for the high value-added utilization of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon dots (CDs) have attracted great research interest in the field of nanochemosensors due to their fascinating optical properties. However, synthesis of CDs with novel recognition groups in a convenient method is still an area to be explored urgently. In this work, we reported a simple strategy to prepare fluorescent CDs with carbon-carbon double bonds (C═C) as the characteristic structure for phenylephrine (PHE) identification and detection. The itaconic acid and polyethylenimine (PEI) were selected as precursors to fabricate highly emissive CDs under the hydrothermal cross-linking and carbonization process. The fluorescence of designed CDs at 465 nm can be effectively quenched by bromine aqueous solution due to the electrophilic addition reaction with the double bonds. On the other hand, the presence of PHE can inhibit fluorescence quenching by bromine-consumption of a substitution reaction. Inspired by the novel findings, a convenient assay for PHE determination was established using the fluorescence of C═C bond functional CDs as an output signal and bromine as a bridge. The method demonstrated here provided a unique way to develop CD-based nanosensors.

Abstract
In this research, we report the green, blue, and orange color emitting N-doped carbon dots (CDs), which are being synthesized from ascorbic acid and o-/m-/p-phenylenediamine (o-PDA, m-PDA, and p-PDA, respectively). The effects of the solvent polarity and solution pH on the PL emission properties of the as-synthesized CDs have been systematically investigated. It has been observed that the PL emission of the as-synthesized CDs decreases with the increase in solvent polarity due to the greater agglomeration. The surface charge of CDs also shows prominent effects on the pH-dependent PL emission properties.

Abstract
Nowadays, bioactive nanomaterials have been attracted the researcher's enthusiasm in various fields. Herein, Diplocyclos palmatus leaf extract-derived green-fluorescence carbon dots (DP-CDs) were prepared using the hydrothermal method. Due to the strong fluorescence stability, the prepared DP-CDs were coated on filter-paper to make a fluorometric sensor-strip for Fe3+ detection. After, a bandgap-narrowed DP-CDs/TiO2 nanocomposite (DCTN) was prepared using the methanolic extract of D. palmatus. The prepared DCTN exhibited improved photocatalytic bacterial deactivation under sunlight irradiation. The DCTN-photocatalysis slaughtered V. harveyi cells by the production of reactive oxygen species, which prompting oxidative stress, damaging the cell membrane and cellular constituents. These results suggest the plausible mode of bactericidal action of DCTN-photocatalysis under sunlight. Further, the DCTN has shown potent anti-biofilm activity against V. harveyi, and thereby, DCTN extended the survival of V. harveyi-infected shrimps during the in vivo trial with Litopenaeus vannamei. Notably, this is the first report for the disinfection of V. harveyi-mediated acute-hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) using nanocomposite. The reduced internal-colonization of V. harveyi on the hepatopancreas as well as the rescue action of the pathognomonic effect in the experimental animals demonstrated the anti-infection potential of DCTN against V. harveyi-mediated AHPND in aquaculture.

Abstract
In this study, we report an inexpensive, green, and one-pot synthesis method for highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using mango (Mangifera indica: M. indica) leaves to develop an efficient sensing platform for metal ions. The CQDs synthesized from M. indica leaves via pyrolysis treatment at 300 °C for 3 h were characterized by various spectroscopic and electron microscopy techniques for their structural, morphological, and optical properties. Accordingly, the synthesized CQDs showed an absorption peak at 213 nm to confirm the p-p* transition of the carbon core state, while the CQD particles were spherical with a size less than 10 nm. The prepared CQDs showed excellent fluorescent properties with blue emission spectra (around 525 nm) upon excitation at 435 nm. The synthesized CQDs had the prodigious sensing potential to detect Fe2+ ions in water with a limit of detection of 0.62 ppm. Additionally, their sensing capability was tested using a real sample (e.g., Livogen tablet). Moreover, the synthesized CQDs showed substantial stability over a long period (three months). Thus, this study provides an inexpensive and facile method for CQD-based sensing of Fe2+ ions with a photoluminescence quenching mechanism.

Abstract
In this study, a simple and green hydrothermal treatment was performed to prepare nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) from Averrhoa carambola (AC) fruit extract as a carbon precursor and L-arginine (Arg) as a nitrogen dopant. The AC-NCDs were characterized by UV light, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and zeta potential analyzer. The AC-NCDs were spherical and the average diameter was estimated to be 6.67 nm. The AC-NCDs exhibited the maximum emission intensity at 446 nm with 360 nm excitation wavelength. The fluorescence quenching behavior of AC-NCDs after interacting with methyl orange (MO) dye was studied. The interaction of AC-NCDs and MO was achieved within 3 min and the fluorescence quenching was maintained to a fixed value even after 30 min. The linearity was obtained in the range of 1 to 25 μM MO with a 0.30 μM detection limit. Furthermore, the pH values affected the quenching behavior of the AC-NCDs/MO system where the interaction mechanisms were driven by the electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, inner filter effect, and energy transfer. The pH 5 maintained higher quenching efficiency while other pH values slightly decreased the quenching efficiency. Incoming applications, the AC-NCDs can be used in various important fields, especially for environmental protection.

Abstract
Recently, synthesis, characterization, and application of carbon dots have received much attention. Natural products are the effectual carbon precursors to synthesize carbon dots with fascinating chemical and physical properties. In this study, the fluorescent sensor of carbon dots derived from cranberry beans without any functionalization and modification was developed. The carbon dots were prepared with a cheap, facile, and green carbon precursor through a hydrothermal treatment method. The synthetic process was toxic chemical-free, convenient, and environmentally friendly. To find the optimized synthetic conditions, the temperature, heating time duration, and carbon precursor weight were evaluated. The prepared carbon dots were characterized by UV light, transmission electron microscopy, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The resulting carbon dots exhibit stable fluorescence with a quantum yield of approximately 10.85%. The carbon dots emitted the broad fluorescence emission range between 410 and 540 nm by changing the excitation wavelength and were used for the detection of Fe3+ ions at the excitation of 380 nm. It is found that Fe3+ ions induced the fluorescence intensity quenching of the carbon dots stronger than other heavy metals and the Fe3+ ion detection can be achieved within 3 min. Spectroscopic data showed that the obtained carbon dots can detect Fe3+ ions within the wide concentration range of 30-600 μM with 9.55 μM detection limit.

Fluorescence Characteristics of Aqueous Synthesized Tin Oxide Quantum Dots for the Detection of Heavy Metal Ions in Contaminated Water. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9091294.

Abstract
Tin oxide quantum dots were synthesized in aqueous solution via a simple hydrolysis and oxidation process. The morphology observation showed that the quantum dots had an average grain size of 2.23 nm. The rutile phase SnO2 was confirmed by the structural and compositional characterization. The fluorescence spectroscopy of quantum dots was used to detect the heavy metal ions of Cd2+, Fe3+, Ni2+ and Pb2+, which caused the quenching effect of photoluminescence. The quantum dots showed the response of 2.48 to 100 ppm Ni2+. The prepared SnO2 quantum dots exhibited prospective in the detection of heavy metal ions in contaminated water, including deionized water, deionized water with Fe3+, reclaimed water and sea water. The limit of detection was as low as 0.01 ppm for Ni2+ detection. The first principle calculation based on the density function theory demonstrated the dependence of fluorescence response on the adsorption energy of heavy metal ions as well as ion radius. The mechanism of fluorescence response was discussed based on the interaction between Sn vacancies and Ni2+ ions. A linear correlation of fluorescence emission intensity against Ni2+ concentration was obtained in the logarithmic coordinates. The density of active Sn vacancies was the crucial factor that determined fluorescence response of SnO2 QDs to heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Thermal decomposition of citric acid is one of the most common synthesis methods for fluorescent carbon dots; the reaction pathway is, however, quite complex and the details are still far from being understood. For instance, several intermediates form during the process and they also give rise to fluorescent species. In the present work, the formation of fluorescent C-dots from citric acid has been studied as a function of reaction time by coupling infrared analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS) with the change of the optical properties, absorption and emission. The reaction intermediates, which have been identified at different stages, produce two main emissive species, in the green and blue, as also indicated by the decay time analysis. C-dots formed from the intermediates have also been synthesised by thermal decomposition, which gave an emission maximum around 450 nm. The citric acid C-dots in water show short temporal stability, but their functionalisation with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane reduces the quenching. The understanding of the citric acid thermal decomposition reaction is expected to improve the control and reproducibility of C-dots synthesis.
