In this article, a facile aqueous synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) was developed by using natural kelp as a new carbon source. Through hydrothermal carbonization of kelp juice, fluorescent CDs were prepared and the CDs’ surface was modified with polyethylenimine (PEI). The PEI-modified CDs were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to fabricate CDs-FITC composites. To exploit broad applications,...
Recently, carbon dots (CDs) have drawn extensive attention owing to their unique properties. While more and more research had been focusing on the exploration of CDs as fluorescence sensors, the blue or green fluorescence emission of CDs restricts further applications of CDs, particularly in the biology-relevant fields due to the commonly blue auto-fluorescence of biological matrix. Therefore, the...
Herein, iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Fe-N-CDs) were synthesized through a solvothermal method assisting with the microwave synthesis system for the first time. Multiple techniques were employed to characterize the properties of the obtained particles. The emphasis of current work was the confirmation of their intrinsic peroxidase activity due to the Fe doping, which is similar to natural...
A rapid, facile and ultrasensitive fluorescence sensing system based on nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-doped CDs) for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA) was developed. The highly photoluminescent N-doped CDs with excellent solubility in water and good biocompatibility were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal synthesis and gave the fluorescence quantum yield of 47%. The addition of AA can intensively...
Using sterculia lychnophora seeds as precursors for the first time, fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by simple hydrothermal treatment. The quantum yield of as-synthesized CDs was 6.9% by using quinine sulfate as the reference. The fluorescence of CDs could be effectively quenched by a MnO2 nanosheet based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Ascorbic acid (AA) could reduce...
Cytosensing of biological transition metals is paramount important for cancer research. One-pot synthesis of the nanocomposite of carbon dots (CDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is reported and has been applied for metal cytosensing. The nanocomposite (GCDs) is synthesized using citric acid (CA) and L-cysteine as precursors in the presence of chloroauric acid. The synthesis procedure exhibits many...
In this article, a facile and green synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) was developed by using natural carrot as new carbon source. After direct hydrothermal carbonization for 5h at 180°C, CDs were prepared facilely. Then, CDs were conjugated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Nile Blue (NB) chloride to produce CDs/PEI/NB nanocomposites under electrostatic interactions. Upon excitation at 800nm, two-photon...
The surface functionalization will introduce additional functional groups on carbon dots (CDs) surface and then enrich the properties of CDs. Here, we show the various surface functionalized CDs (-COOH, -OH, -SH, -NH2, etc, named as NS-CDs) were synthesized with fascinating features, including high quantum efficiency (38.9%), long-term stability and good biocompatibility. Notably, it can serve as...
By employing the attractive performance of fluorescent carbon dots and the assistant of hairpin structure, an innovative dual-channel biosensor on the basis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for detecting multiple nucleotide sequences has been successfully proposed. In brief, the fluorescence of carbon dots (CDs) was quenched in the absence of the targets, and the hairpin structure was hybridized with...
