Abstract
The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections demands effective alternative therapeutics of antibiotics, whereas biocompatible zero-dimensional nanomaterials are an excellent option due to their small size. In this study, we report the one-step hydrothermal approach that was used to synthesize luminescent manganese doped carbon dots (Mn-Cdots) with an efficient quantum yield of 9.2% by employing green Psidium guajava L. (Guava) leaf as the precursor. High-resolution microscopy TEM was used to investigate the average particle size of Mn-Cdots, which was found to be 2.9 ± 0.045 nm. The structural properties and elemental composition of Mn-Cdots were analyzed by FTIR, XRD, EPR, and XPS spectroscopy, and the optical properties of Mn-Cdots were examined by UV-visible and fluorescent spectroscopy. Light-mediated antibacterial activity of Mn-Cdots was investigated by Gram-negative bacteria E. coli under white, blue, and yellow light. The doping effect of a minute quantity of Mn in Mn-Cdots increased the level of ROS generation in the presence of white lights compared to Cdots. Thus, Mn-Cdots might act as potent antibacterial agents.

Paracetamol-Mediated Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles and Their Functionalization with Ionic Liquid for the Colorimetric Biosensing of Ascorbic Acid. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44931-44941. [PMID: 38046308 PMCID: PMC10688197 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Ascorbic acid is a vital biomolecule for human beings. When the body's level of ascorbic acid is abnormal, it can lead to a number of illnesses. Its appropriate concentration is necessary for the oxidation of prostaglandins and cyclic adenosine monophosphate, the production of dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and carnitine, and the expansion and durability of the collagen triple helix in humans. In the present work, silver nanoparticle synthesis was performed through a paracetamol-mediated approach. Different characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were used to confirm the prepared nanoparticles. Subsequently, the prepared Ag NPs functionalized with an ionic liquid were used as a sensing platform for ascorbic acid in blood serum samples. To achieve the best possible results, the proposed biosensor was optimized with different parameters such as TMB concentration, time, amount of capped nanoparticles (NPs), and pH. The proposed biosensor offers a sensitive and straightforward method for ascorbic acid with a linear range from 2 × 10-9 to 3.22 × 10-7 M, an LOD of 1.3 × 10-8 M, an LOQ of 4.3 × 10-8 M, and an R2 of 0.9996, Moreover, applications of the proposed biosensor were successfully used for the detection of ascorbic acid in samples of human plasma, suggesting that Ag NPs with high peroxidase-like activity, high stability, and facile synthesis exhibited promising applications in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Silver ions (Ag+) exist widely in various areas of human life, and the food contamination caused by them poses a serious threat to human health. Among the numerous methods used for the detection of Ag+, fluorescence and colorimetric analysis have attracted much attention due to their inherent advantages, such as high sensitivity, simple operation, short time, low cost and visualized detection. In this work, Pd/Pt nanoflowers (NFs) specifically responsive to Ag+ were synthesized in a simple way to oxidize o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). The interaction of Ag+ with the surface of Pd/Pt NFs inhibits the catalytic activity of Pd/Pt NFs towards the substrate OPD. A novel dual-channel nanosensor was constructed for the detection of Ag+, using the fluorescence intensity and UV-vis absorption intensity of DAP as output signals. This dual-mode analysis combines their respective advantages to significantly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of Ag+ detection. The results showed that the limit of detection was 5.8 nM for the fluorescence channel and 46.9 nM for the colorimetric channel, respectively. Moreover, the developed platform has been successfully used for the detection of Ag+ in real samples with satisfactory recoveries, which is promising for the application in the point-of-care testing of Ag+ in the field of food safety.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a typical peroxidase mimic with simple preparation, low cost and high eco-friendliness, but it still has drawbacks of poor stability (e.g., decomposition in aqueous dispersions) and intrinsic optical interference (e.g., high extinction coefficient over a wide wavelength range) in colorimetric assays. Herein, we used nitrocellulose (NC) membranes as synthesis hosts of PB nanoparticles (NPs) to develop a new type of three-dimensional (3D) porous nanozyme pad. By means of an in situ synthesis route, PB NPs were uniformly grown on the surfaces of the fiber scaffolds with desirable stability, which also avoided signal interference from PB NPs owing to the easy handling of the pads in a quantitative solid state. The pads showed significant peroxidase-mimicking activity toward the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with the output of colorimetric signals. Based on the reduction of oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by dopamine (DA), the pads were exploited for simple and quantitative colorimetric detection of DA with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.59 μM and a satisfactory accuracy for analysis of real human urine samples. This is the first attempt at exploiting NC membranes as the synthesis hosts to develop nanozyme pads, which solves the above drawbacks of traditional PB-based peroxidase mimics and has promise for various colorimetric bioanalyses, given the structural benefits of NC membranes and their broad applications in biosensors.

Abstract
In this study, a new method for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA) was proposed. It was based on the protective effect of AA on silver triangular nanoplates (Ag TNPs) against Cl- induced etching reactions. Cl- can attack the corners of Ag TNPs and etch them, causing a morphological shift from triangular nanoplates to nanodiscs. As a result, the solution changes color from blue to yellow. However, in the presence of AA, the corners of Ag TNPs can be protected from Cl- etching, and the blue color of the solution remains unchanged. Using this effect, a selective sensor was designed to detect AA in the range of 0-40.00 μM with a detection limit of 2.17 μM. As the concentration of AA varies in this range, color changes from yellow to blue can be easily observed, so the designed sensor can be used for colorimetric detection. This method can be used to analyze fruit juice samples.

Abstract
Reducing the agglomeration and improving the dispersibility in water of two-dimensional (2D) nanozymes is one of the effective ways to improve their enzyme-like activity. In this work, we propose a method by constructing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)-dispersed 2D manganese-based nanozymes to achieve the specific regulated improvement of oxidase-mimicking activity. By in-situ growth of manganese oxides nanosheets of MnO2(1), MnO2(2) and Mn3O4 on the surface of ZIF-8, the corresponding nanocomposites of ZIF-8 @MnO2(1), ZIF-8 @MnO2(2), and ZIF-8 @Mn3O4 were prepared at room temperature. The Michaelis-Menton constant measurements indicated that ZIF-8 @MnO2(1) exhibits best substrate affinity and fastest reaction rate for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The ZIF-8 @MnO2(1)-TMB system was exploited to detection of trace hydroquinone (HQ) based on the reducibility of phenolic hydroxyl groups. In addition, by employing the fact that the cysteine (Cys) with the excellent antioxidant capacity can bind the Hg2+ based on the formation of "S-Hg2+" bonds, the ZIF-8 @MnO2(1)-TMB-Cys system was applied to detection of Hg2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity. Our findings not only provide a better understanding of the relationship between dispersion of nanozyme and enzyme-like activity, but also provide a general method for the detection of environmental pollutants using nanozymes.

Abstract
Rapid, efficient and green method of Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) synthesis on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibril (TCNF) is demonstrated here. The nanohybrid (PdNPs/TCNF) exhibited peroxidase and oxidase-like activities evident by the oxidation of three chromogenic substrates. Enzyme kinetic studies using 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation uncovered the excellent kinetic parameters (low Km and high Vmax) and good specific activities of 215 U/g and 107 U/g for peroxidase and oxidase-like activities, respectively. A colorimetric assay for ascorbic acid (AA) detection is proposed based on its ability to reduce oxidized TMB to its colorless form. However, presence of nanozyme caused re-oxidation of TMB to its blue colored form within few minutes resulting in time limitation and inaccurate detection. Thanks to the film forming nature of TCNF; this limitation was overcome by employing PdNPs/TCNF film strips that can be easily removed before AA addition. The assay allowed AA detection in the linear range of 0.25-10 μM with a detection limit of 0.039 μM. The results of AA detection in commercial beverages and vitamin C tablets are matching with the specified values. Further the nanozyme exhibited high tolerance to pH (2-10) and temperature (up to 80 °C) and good recyclability for five cycles.

Abstract
Phosphotungstic acid covered with CeO2 hollow nanospheres (CeO2@PTA HNSs) has been successfully prepared by a simple method, serving as highly efficient nanozymes for ascorbic acid (AA) colorimetric sensing. In virtue of the unique hollow nanostructures, oxide defects and synergic effects of CeO2 and PTA, the proposed CeO2@PTA HNSs present remarkable intrinsic oxidase-like activity and help capture electrons from 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Due to the reducibility of AA, a promising colorimetric sensing platform based on CeO2@PTA HNSs has been constructed for quantitative analysis of AA. The present colorimetric detection exhibits a low limit of detection, good selectivity and stability, as well as reliability in orange juice and milk. This work provides a simple surface defect engineering to prepare high-performance oxidase mimics in the application of colorimetric biosensing.

Abstract
Nanozymes are emerging materials in various fields owing to their advantages over natural enzymes, such as controllable and facile synthesis, tunability in catalytic activities, cost-effectiveness, and high stability under stringent conditions. In this study, the effect of metal salts on the formation and catalytic activity of carbon dots (CDs), a promising nanozyme, is demonstrated. By introducing Mn sources that possess different counter anions, the chemical structure and composition of the CDs produced are affected, thereby influencing their enzymatic activities. The synergistic catalytic effect of the Mn and N-doped CDs (Mn&N-CDs) is induced by effective metal doping in the carbogenic domain and a high proportion of graphitic and pyridinic N. This highly enhanced catalytic effect of Mn&N-CDs allows them to respond sensitively to the interference factors of enzymatic reactions. Consequently, ascorbic acid, which is an essential nutrient for maintaining our health and is a reactive oxygen scavenger, can be successfully monitored using color change by forming oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine with H2O2 and Mn&N-CDs. This study provides a basic understanding of the formation of CDs and how their catalytic properties can be controlled by the addition of different metal sources, thereby providing guidelines for the development of CDs for industrial applications.

Abstract
A free radical scavenging system based on Fe3O4@Au/MOF-ABTS˙+ has formed the basis of a novel method for the highly sensitive and specific spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The Fe3O4@Au/MOF nanozyme with magnetic separation properties was effectively prepared and evaluated using an environmentally friendly technique. Nanomaterials have the advantages of superparamagnetism, biocompatibility, chemical stability, and enhanced synergistic peroxidase-like activity, which can be utilized in catalysis to oxidise the peroxidase substrate 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) into a green-colored product in the presence of H2O2. AA as an antioxidant has scavenging effects on ABTS radicals and can reduce green ABTS˙+ to uncolored ABTS2-, contributing to a substantial reduction in green color. Based on such a premise, a highly selective and sensitive chromogenic sensing method depending on the peroxidase-like activity of the nanocomposites was developed in order to achieve the efficient detection of AA in real samples. Under optimum conditions, the proposed technique had a detection range of 0.001-0.1 mmol L-1, a limit of detection of 0.098 μmol L-1, and a detection time of only 30 seconds. The newly proposed colorimetric analysis method devoid of enzymes has broad application potential in the areas of quality control and quality and safety detection.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), a new zero-dimensional material, have ignited a revolution in the fields of sensing, bioimaging, and biomedicine. However, the difficulty of preparing CDs with Fenton-like catalytic properties has seriously hindered their application in the diagnosis of oxidation/reduction biomolecules or metal ions. Here, an innovative method was successfully established to synthesize Mn3+/Mn4+ ion-doped blue-green fluorescent CDs with Fenton-like catalytic properties using manganese acetate as the manganese source. Specifically, the CDs prepared here were equipped with functional groups of -COOH, NH2, C=O, and Mn-O, offering the possibility to function as a fluorescence sensor. More importantly, the introduction of manganese acetate resulted in the preparation of CDs with Fenton-like catalytic properties, and the dual-signal fluorescence detection of dopamine (DA) was realized with linear ranges of 100–275 nM and 325–525 nM, and the detection limits were 3 and 12 nM, respectively. In addition, due to the Fenton-like catalytic activity of Mn3+/Mn4+ ion-doped CDs, the material has broad application prospects in the detection of oxidation/reduction biomolecules or metal ions related to disease diagnosis and prevention.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are a novel type of carbon-based nanomaterial that has gained considerable attention for their unique optical properties, including tunable fluorescence, stability against photobleaching and photoblinking, and strong fluorescence, which is attributed to a large number of organic functional groups (amino groups, hydroxyl, ketonic, ester, and carboxyl groups, etc.). In addition, they also demonstrate high stability and electron mobility. This article reviews the topic of doped CDs with organic and inorganic atoms and molecules. Such doping leads to their functionalization to obtain desired physical and chemical properties for biomedical applications. We have mainly highlighted modification techniques, including doping, polymer capping, surface functionalization, nanocomposite and core-shell structures, which are aimed at their applications to the biomedical field, such as bioimaging, bio-sensor applications, neuron tissue engineering, drug delivery and cancer therapy. Finally, we discuss the key challenges to be addressed, the future directions of research, and the possibilities of a complete hybrid format of CD-based materials.

Abstract
Nanozymes, novel engineered nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes, have been developed to overcome intrinsic drawbacks exist in natural enzymes including high-cost storage, structural instability, and chemical sensitivity. More recently, carbon dots (CDs) have received significant attention due to their biocompatibility, high catalytic activity, and simple surface functionalization, thus emerging as possible alternatives for biomedical and environmental applications. In this review, we analyze methods and precursors used to synthesize CDs with enzyme-mimicking behaviors. In addition, approaches such as doping or constructing hybrid nanozymes are included as possible strategies to enhance the catalytic performance of CDs. Recent studies have reported CDs that mimic different oxidoreductases, exhibiting peroxidase-, catalase-, oxidase/laccase-, and superoxide dismutase-like activities. Therefore, this review presents a detailed discussion of the mechanism, recent advances, and application for each oxidoreductase-like activity reported on nanozymes based on CDs nanomaterials. Finally, current challenges faced in the successful translation of CDs to potential applications are addressed to suggest research directions.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based enzyme mimetics (nanozymes) have attracted significant interest because of their lower cost and higher stability compared to natural enzymes. In this study, we focused on improving the enzymatic properties of metal induced N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs), which are nanozymes of interest, and their applications for sensory systems. For this purpose, Mn(acetate)2 was introduced during the synthetic step of N-doped carbon dots, and its influence on the enzymatic properties of Mn-induced N-CDs (Mn:N-CDs) was investigated. Their chemical structure was analyzed through infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry; the results suggest that Mn ions lead to the variation in the population of chemical bonding in Mn:N-CDs, whereas these ions were not incorporated into N-CD frameworks. This structural change improved the enzymatic properties of Mn:N-CDs with respect to those of N-CDs when the color change of a 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine/H2O2 solution was examined in the presence of Mn:N-CDs and N-CDs. Based on this enhanced enzymatic property, a simple colorimetric system with Mn:N-CDs was used for the detection of γ-aminobutyric acid, which is an indicator of brain-related disease. Therefore, we believe that Mn:N-CDs will be an excellent enzymatic probe for the colorimetric sensor system.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated cobalt-doped carbon quantum dots (Co-CQDs) by a one-pot hydrothermal method with cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin and 1,2-ethanediamine as precursors. The morphology and structure of the Co-CQDs were characterized through transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectra, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectra. The Co-CQDs emitted intense blue luminescence under ultraviolet irradiation and exhibited a typical excitation-dependent emission property. Moreover, they can act as a fluorescent probe for the detection of Fe3+ and ascorbic acid (AA) with high selectivity and sensitivity through an "on-off-on" mode. The limit of detection (LOD) of Fe3+ was measured as 38 μM (S/N = 3). The quenched emission of carbon quantum dots can be recovered with the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) to the Co-CQDs/Fe3+ system. The change of fluorescence was linear with the concentration of AA (0.6-1.6 mM) with the LOD of 18 μM. Furthermore, the Co-CQDs exhibited high oxidase-like catalytic behavior, which could convert transparent 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue ox-TMB by dissolved oxygen. After adding ascorbic acid to the Co-CQDs/TMB system, the blue color of the solution faded due to the reduction of blue ox-TMB to colorless TMB. Based on this phenomenon, the Co-CQDs were capable of detecting AA (10-400 μM) with the LOD of 0.27 μM. The fluorometric and colorimetric assays based on the Co-CQDs for the AA detection were then successfully applied in fresh fruits. Furthermore, the high biocompatibility of the Co-CQDs against HeLa cells was verified by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Thus, the Co-CQDs could be used as a powerful tool for the detection of AA in real samples through a dual-mode method.

Abstract
As functional nanomaterials with simulating enzyme-like properties, nanozymes can not only overcome the inherent limitations of natural enzymes in terms of stability and preparation cost but also possess design, versatility, maneuverability, and applicability of nanomaterials. Therefore, they can be combined with other materials to form composite nanomaterials with superior performance, which has garnered considerable attention. Carbon dots (CDs) are an ideal choice for these composite materials due to their unique physical and chemical properties, such as excellent water dispersion, stable chemical inertness, high photobleaching resistance, and superior surface engineering. With the continuous emergence of various CDs-based nanozymes, it is vital to thoroughly understand their working principle, performance evaluation, and application scope. This review comprehensively discusses the recent advantages and disadvantages of CDs-based nanozymes in biomedicine, catalysis, sensing, detection aspects. It is expected to provide valuable insights into developing novel CDs-based nanozymes.

Abstract
Herein, a simple and facile one-step hydrothermal carbonization synthesis procedure for the fabrication of N, Cu-doped carbon quantum dots (N, Cu-CQDs) as a peroxidase-mimicking enzyme was reported. The peroxidase-like performance of N, Cu-CQDs was assessed based on the oxidative coupling reaction of phenol with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The N, Cu-CQDs/4-AAP/H2O2 system was applied to sensing phenol based on double signals of absorption spectra (or colorimetric visualization) as well as fluorescence spectra. The obtained limits of detection (LODs) were as low as 0.12 μM and 0.02 μM, respectively. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of phenol in sewage with satisfactory recovery. Our results demonstrate that the N, Cu-CQDs/4-AAP/H2O2/phenol sensing system has a great potential prospect for applications in environmental chemistry and biotechnology.

Abstract
A colorimetric and fluorescence turn-on dual-signal assay was developed for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA). Because the ultraviolet absorption of the oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB) overlapped with the fluorescence emission of glutathione stabilized Au nanoclusters (AuNCs), the fluorescence of AuNCs can be quenched by oxTMB. When AA was added, the blue oxTMB was reduced to colorless TMB, and the fluorescence of AuNCs was restored simultaneously. The decrease in absorbance and increase in fluorescence signal depended on the concentration of AA. In the determination range of 0.5 to 200 μM, the detection limits (LOD) for AA were as low as 0.15 µM and 0.22 µM for fluorometric and colorimetric, respectively. The established probe was used successfully for AA detection in living cells and beverages.

Bright Mn-doped carbon dots for the determination of permanganate and L-ascorbic acid by a fluorescence on-off-on strategy. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:659. [PMID: 33201322 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-020-04604-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
A one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of manganese-doped carbon dots (Mn-CDs) is reported for fluorescent "on-off-on" determination of Mn(VII) and L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) in aqueous solution and living cells. Mn-CDs were prepared by using sulfanilic acid, tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride, and Mn(II) chloride as precursors. Mn-CDs were characterized by several spectroscopic methods and microscopic techniques. Mn-CDs show distinctly long fluorescence lifetime (12.39 ± 0.07 ns) and high absolute fluorescence quantum yield (around 37%) with excitation and emission wavelengths of 362 and 500 nm, respectively. Mn-CDs exhibit no significant cytotoxicity to human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells and human embryonic kidney HEK-293T cells at 200 μg mL-1 level after 48 h incubation. The fluorescence of Mn-CDs at 500 nm (excited at 362 nm) is quenched efficiently by Mn(VII) and can be further recovered after the addition of L-AA, resulting in a fluorescent "on-off-on" assay for the determination of Mn(VII) and L-AA. Under optimal experimental conditions, the linear response covers the 3 to 150 μM Mn(VII) concentration range and the 3 to 140 μM L-AA concentration range. This method offers relatively low detection limits of 0.66 μM for Mn(VII) and 0.90 μM for L-AA. This strategy was applied to visual determination of Mn(VII) and L-AA in living HeLa cells with satisfying results. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of bright Mn-CD-based fluorescence "on-off-on" assay for both Mn(VII) and L-AA. This fluorescent assay possessed low detection limit of 0.66 μM for Mn(VII) and 0.90 μM for L-AA. This strategy was applied for visual determination of Mn(VII) and L-AA in living HeLa cells with satisfying results.
