Route-dependent tailoring of carbon dot release in alginate hydrogel beads (HB-Alg@WTR-CDs): A versatile platform for biomedical applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128126. [PMID: 37981273 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128126] [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: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
The present investigation explores the different pathways for development of waste tea residue carbon dots (WTR-CDs) loading into hydrogel matrix for WTR-CDs releasing probe. Fluorescent WTR-CDs incorporated into hydrogel matrix were synthesized by valorisation of kitchen waste tea by simple carbonization method (λem = 450 nm, ΦWTR-CDs =18.45 %). Biopolymeric alginate-based hydrogel beads (HB-Alg) were prepared by simple extrusion method. Three routes (ex-situ/in-situ) were employed for loading of WTR-CDs into hydrogel matrix. Successful synthesis of WTR-CDs and its loading into hydrogel matrix was confirmed via various characterization techniques. Developed protocol was employed for stimuli-responsive cumulative release of WTR-CDs study (pH = 3.0, 7.4, 9.0) was monitored over 7 days. Results suggests that, the HB-Alg@WTR-CDs-A system with in-situ loaded WTR-CDs have sustained release due to ionic interaction of WTR-CDs with crosslinked polymer network, whereas in HB-Alg@WTR-CDs-B, WTR-CDs loaded in wet-beads having burst release in which loosely bound WTR-CDs into hydrogel cavities releases rapidly. While, in case of HB-Alg@WTR-CDs-C, lowest release was observed due to weakly surface bound WTR-CDs, low loading and shrinkage of pores into dry-beads. Radical scavenging activity was studied and shown antioxidant properties of WTR-Powder, WTR-CDs and HB-Alg@WTR-CDs-A,B,C. Cytotoxicity of all systems was checked via CAM assay and significant growth in blood vascularization with no loss of chick embryo confirming the released WTR-CDs are biocompatible. Successful investigation and summarization of results ensure that, waste-valorisation, simple, sustainable, and smart hydrogel systems with different routes of WTR-CDs loading have opened a window to understand the mechanistic pathways in release behaviour. This robust approach for improvement of smarter and biocompatible materials can be fruitfully applicable in advanced, controlled and stimuli responsive delivery probes.

Abstract
Nowadays, one of the most important reasons of death in the world is cancer. With the development of nanotechnology, advanced methods for treatment of cancer have introduced. In this work, the fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from chitosan as the second abundant polysaccharide present in the nature. The surface of CDs was modified with chitosan (CDs/CS) and then the amino groups of chitosan were conjugated with activated folic acid (CDs/CS-FA) for controlled delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) as anticancer drug against HeLa cancer cells. The DOX loading efficiency of fluorescent CDs/CS-FA was high and nearly 60 %. Due to pH sensitive swelling/deswelling of CS, the percentage of cumulative DOX release could reach 90 % at cancer tissue (pH of 5.0) and 52 % at normal tissue (pH of 7.4) within 30 h. The cytotoxicity study revealed that the synthesized CDs were highly compatible on HeLa cells with cell viability 97-88 %. Cellular imaging shows that the entry of CDs/CS-FA to HeLa cells causes a green fluorescence, while the CDs/CS without FA have a negligible fluorescence. These results are due to the important role of FA in cell internalization. Thus, the CDs/CS-FA nanocarrier is suitable candidate for controlled pH sensitive drug delivery and cellular imaging.

Abstract
The marine environment offers a vast array of resources, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, that can be utilized to extract polysaccharides such as alginate, carrageenan, chitin, chitosan, agarose, ulvan, porphyra, and many more. These polysaccharides found in marine environments can serve as carbon-rich precursors for synthesizing carbon quantum dots (CQDs). Marine polysaccharides have a distinct advantage over other CQD precursors because they contain multiple heteroatoms, including nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O). The surface of CQDs can be naturally doped, reducing the need for excessive use of chemical reagents and promoting green methods. The present review highlights the processing methods used to synthesize CQDs from marine polysaccharide precursors. These can be classified according to their biological origin as being derived from algae, crustaceans, or fish. CQDs can be synthesized to exhibit exceptional optical properties, including high fluorescence emission, absorbance, quenching, and quantum yield. CQDs' structural, morphological, and optical properties can be adjusted by utilizing multi-heteroatom precursors. Moreover, owing to their biocompatibility and low toxicity, CQDs obtained from marine polysaccharides have potential applications in various fields, including biomedicine (e.g., drug delivery, bioimaging, and biosensing), photocatalysis, water quality monitoring, and the food industry. Using marine polysaccharides to produce carbon quantum dots (CQDs) enables the transformation of renewable sources into a cutting-edge technological product. This review can provide fundamental insights for the development of novel nanomaterials derived from natural marine sources.

Abstract
Carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) with satisfactory excitation-dependent-emission and biocompatibility had great potential in anti-counterfeiting fibres field. However, it was difficult for CPDs to combined into the fibres due to the unstable interaction between CPDs and spinnable polymer matrix. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) was used to modify CPDs (namely PEI-CPDs) for achieving stable interactions with sodium alginate (SA) by a simple method, which including the physical interaction between the amino groups of PEI-CPDs and carboxyl groups of SA and the chain entanglement between two types of polymer chains. Then alginate fibres based on PEI-CPDs (PEI-CPDs/CaALG fibres) were successfully prepared by wet-spinning for the first time with less loss of PEI-CPDs. The high mechanical strength, excellent thermal stability and good biocompatibility achieved by PEI-CPDs/CaALG fibres. Furthermore, the fibres exhibited the excitation-dependent-emission property. Anti-counterfeiting of the fibres was conducted on both textile and papers, which showed higher security than the existing anti-counterfeiting fibres.

Abstract
In this work, we used chitosan as a raw material to synthesize carbon dots using fast microwave carbonization. We studied the influence of the synthesis time, doping agent, and the molar ratio between the reactants on the quantum yield of carbon dots. Chitosan-based carbon dots displayed stable blue fluorescence emission with excitation-dependent behavior and quantum yield values ranging from 1.16 to 7.07 %. ANOVA results showed that the interaction factor between the doping agent and the molar ratio of the reactants was a significant combination to produce carbon dots with higher quantum yield. The presence of the doping agent improved the carbon dots optical properties by obtaining higher fluorescence intensity values. Confocal laser microscope images showed that the carbon dots internalized in the Candida albicans cellular membrane, exhibiting blue, green, and red emissions, acting as a promising agent for bioimaging.

Abstract
Petroleum industry wastewater contains high level of crude oil and other types of organic substances that can cause immense harm to the agriculture, aquatic as well as terrestrial organisms. Organic solvent resistance of membranes is very important to treat such wastewater that contains high level of organic pollutants. This work reports the designing of a superhydrophilic and organic solvent resistant nanocomposite membrane using waste bottles made of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and cellulosic papers. Using in-situ synthesized cellulose nanofibers we could successfully fabricate porous membranes which is not possible for bare PET matrix using water as nonsolvent. Thus, we could successfully replace methanol which was used as a suitable non-solvent in earlier reports by distilled water. We successfully used the membrane for separation of synthetic crude oil-water emulsion. The membrane showed permeability up to 98 Lm-2h-1 applying pressure of 1.5 bar. The membrane also achieved removal of more than 97 % of organic substances from a crude oil-water emulsion system. The optimum membrane also showed good thermal stability with initial degradation temperature ∼350 °C and tensile strength of 0.86 MPa. The antimicrobial property of the nanocomposite membranes could be achieved by coating its surface with carbon dots rooted graphene oxide.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), the intensifying nanostructured form of carbon material, have exhibited incredible impetus in several research fields such as bio-imaging, bio-sensing, drug delivery systems, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis, thanks to their exceptional properties. The CQDs show extensive photonic and electronic properties, as well as their light-collecting, tunable photoluminescence, remarkable up-converted photoluminescence, and photo-induced transfer of electrons were widely studied. These properties have great advantages in a variety of visible-light-induced catalytic applications for the purpose of fully utilizing the energy from the solar spectrum. The major purpose of this review is to validate current improvements in the fabrication of CQDs, characteristics, and visible-light-induced catalytic applications, with a focus on CQDs multiple functions in photo-redox processes. We also examine the problems and future directions of CQD-based nanostructured materials in this growing research field, with an eye toward establishing a decisive role for CQDs in photocatalysis, bio-imaging, and bio-sensing applications that are enormously effective and stable over time. In the end, a look forward to future developments is presented, with a view to overcoming challenges and encouraging further research into this promising field.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are promising carbonaceous nanomaterials fortuitously discovered in 2004. CQDs are the rising stars in the nanotechnology ensemble because of their unique properties and widespread applications in sensing, imaging, medicine, catalysis, and optoelectronics. CQDs are notable for their excellent solubility and effective luminescence, and as a result, they are also known as carbon nanolights. Many strategies are used for the efficient and economical preparation of CQDs; however, CQDs prepared from waste or green sustainable methods have greater requirements due to their safety and ease of synthesis. Sustainable chemical strategies for CQDs have been developed, emphasizing green synthetic methodologies based on "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches. This review summarizes many such studies relevant to the development of sustainable methods for photoluminescent CQDs. Furthermore, we have emphasized recent advances in CQDs' photoluminescent applications in chemical and biological fields. Finally, a brief overview of synthetic processes utilizing the green source and their associated applications are tabulated, providing a clear understanding of the new optoelectronic materials.

Abstract
The photocatalytic and electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 has the potential to provide valuable products, such as chemicals or fuels of interest, at low cost while maintaining a circular carbon cycle. In this context, carbon dots possess optical and electrochemical properties that make them suitable candidates to participate in the reaction, either as a single component or forming part of more elaborate catalytic systems. In this review, we describe several strategies where the carbon dots participate, both with amorphous and graphitic structures, in the photocatalysis or electrochemical catalysis of CO2 to provide different carbon-containing products of interest. The role of the carbon dots is analyzed as a function of their redox and light absorption characteristics and their complementarity with other known catalytic systems. Moreover, detailed information about synthetic procedures is also reviewed.

A pseudohomogeneous carrier as an emerging term refers to subnanometric carbon-based vehicle with a high ability to interact with genetic materials to form stable carboplex and successfully transfer them into the cell which will result in inhibiting or expressing of therapeutic genes. Chitosan is a non-toxic polyaminosaccharide used as a precursor in the presence of citric acid to produce carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which decorated with arginine as a surface passivation agent with high amine density in hydrothermal methodology. The Arginine-CQDs are comprehensively characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping, fluorescence, High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), zeta potential and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). In this regard, for the first time, carboplex are formed by electrostatic conjugating of Arginine-CQDs with DNA to protect it from enzymatic degradation. Moreover, the carboplex, like the chitosan precursor, has not shown toxicity against AGS cell line. Interestingly, the Arginine-CQDs have exhibited an excellent ability to overcome cell barriers to deliver into cells compared to chitosan at the same weight ratio. The Arginine-CQDs/pEGFP (W/W) nanocomplex, not only lead to transfection with a relatively higher efficiency than PEI polymer, which is the "golden standard", but carboplex also demonstrates no significant toxicity. Indeed, the EGFP expression level has reached to 2.4 ± 0.2 via Arginine-CQDs carboplex at W/W 50 weight ratio. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report includes chitosan-based CQDs functionalized by arginine which is applied to serve as a pseudohomogeneous vehicle for gene transfection.

Abstract
High catalytic efficiency, stereoselectivity, and sustainability outcomes of enzymes entice chemists for considering biocatalytic transformations to supplant conventional synthetic routes. As a green and versatile enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based enzymatic catalysis has been widely employed in a range of biological and chemical transformation processes. Nevertheless, like many other enzymes, HRP is likely to denature or destabilize in harsh realistic conditions due to its intrinsic fragile nature, which results in inevitably shortened lifespan and immensely high bioprocess cost. Enzyme immobilization has proven as a prospective strategy for improving their biocatalytic performance in continuous industrial processes. Nanostructured materials with huge accessible surface area, abundant porous structures, exceptional functionalities, and high chemical and mechanical stability have recently garnered intriguing research interests as novel kinds of supporting matrices for HRP immobilization. Many reported immobilized biocatalytic systems have demonstrated high catalytic performances than that to the free form of enzymes, such as enhanced enzyme efficiency, selectivity, stability, and repeatability due to the protective microenvironments provided by nanostructures. This review delineates an updated overview of HRP immobilization using an array of nanostructured materials. Furthermore, the general physicochemical aspects, improved catalytic attributes, and the robust practical implementations of engineered HRP-based catalytic cues are also discussed with suitable examples. To end, concluding remarks, challenges, and worthy suggestions/perspectives for future enzyme immobilization are also given.

Abstract
Designing new materials for effective and targeted drug delivery is pivotal in biomedical research. Herein, we report on the development of a chitosan/carbon dot-based nanocomposite and investigate its efficacy as a carrier for the sustained release of dopamine drug. The carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized from the carbonization of chitosan and were further conjugated with chitosan (CS) to obtain a chitosan/carbon dot (CS/CD) matrix. Dopamine was later encapsulated in the matrix to form a dopamine@CS/CD nanocomposite. The cytotoxicity of IC-21 and SH-SY5Y cell lines was studied at various concentrations of the nanocomposite and the results demonstrate around 97% cell viability. The photoluminescence property revealed the characteristic property of the carbon dots. When excited at 510 nm an emission peak was observed at 550 nm which enables the use of carbon dots as a tracer for bioimaging. The HRTEM images and the D, G, and 2D bands of the Raman spectra confirm the successful synthesis of carbon dots and through DLS the particle size is estimated to be ∼3 nm. The release studies of the encapsulated drug from the composite were analyzed in an in vitro medium at different pH levels. The novelty of this method is the use of a non-toxic vehicle to administer drugs effectively towards any ailment and in particular, the carbon dots facilitate the consistent release of dopamine towards neurodegenerative diseases and tracing delivery through bioimaging.

Abstract
Mutagenic and Carcinogenic substances are a threat to any living organism, and its detection is of paramount importance. In this work, we fabricate for the first time a DNA-carbon dots based electrochemical biosensor for sensitive and selective detection of mutagenic nitrosamines like N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA). At first, on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), chitosan carbon dot was deposited, then, DNA was electro-statically immobilizing on the surface of carbon dots to fabricate the sensing electrode (DNA/chiCD/GCE modified electrode). In the presence of NDMA and NDEA, in differential pulse voltammetry technique, the absolute peak current increases, and thus it can detect NDMA and NDEA. The system DNA/chiCD/GCE modified electrode is highly selective and sensitive toward NDMA and NDEA. The detection limit was determined to be 9.9 × 10-9 M and 9.6 × 10-9 M, respectively. The possible reason for DNA/chiCD/GCE modified electrode showing such electrochemical selectivity toward nitrosamines is investigated and discussed.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials in the form of quantum dots have a high potential due to their luminescent properties and low cytotoxicity which allows their use in optical probes for use in bioimaging and biodetection. In this article, we present a novel type of nanomaterials and their obtainment method under microwave-assisted conditions using poly(L-lysine) as a raw material. The ready products were characterized over their chemical structure, pH-dependent fluorescence properties and cytotoxicity on human dermal fibroblasts. Moreover, their antioxidant activity as well as ability to biologically active molecules (vitamins) and heavy metal ions detection was evaluated. The results confirmed the obtainment of biocompatible nanomaterials with advanced properties and good water solubility according to sustained development principles.

Abstract
Dual emission carbon dots have a high potential for use as fluorescence-based sensors with higher selectivity and sensitivity. This study demonstrated the possibility of conversion of a biological molecular system with a single emission peak to a double emission carbon dots system. This report is the first to describe the synthesis of dual emission carbon dots by tuning the electronic environment of a conjugated system. Here we prepared carbon dots from a natural extract, from which carotenoids were used as a new source for carbon dots. Formation of the carbon dots was confirmed by images obtained under a transmission electron microscope as well as from a dynamic light scattering study. The prepared carbon dots system was characterized and its optical property was monitored. The study showed that, after irradiation with microwaves, the fluorescence intensity of the whole system changed, without any change in the original peak position of the carotenoid but with the appearance of an additional peak. A Fourier transform infrared study confirmed breaking of the conjugated system. When using ethylene glycol as a surface passivating agent added to these carotenoid carbon dots, the dual emission spectra became more distinct.

Abstract
Over the span of the past decade, carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from renewable organic resources (organic CDs) have gathered a considerable amount of attention for their photoluminescent properties. This review will focus on organic CDs synthesized using clean chemistry and conventional synthetic chemistry from organic sources and their fluorescence mechanisms, such as quantum confinement effect and surface/edge defects, before outlining their performance in electronic applications, including organic photovoltaic devices, organic light-emitting devices, biosensors, supercapacitors, and batteries. The various organic resources and methods of organic CDs synthesis are briefly covered. Many challenges remain before the adoption of CDs can become widespread; their characterization, structure, functionality, and exact photoluminescent mechanism all require additional research. This review aims to summarize the current research outcomes and highlight the area where further research is needed to fully use these materials.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CDs) are a relatively new class of carbon nanomaterials which have been studied very much in the last fifteen years to improve their already favorable properties. The optical properties of CDs have drawn particular interest as they display the unusual trait of excitation-dependent emission, as well as high fluorescence quantum yields (QY), long photoluminescence (PL) decay lifetimes, and photostability. These qualities naturally lead researchers to apply CDs in the field of imaging (particularly bio-imaging) and sensing. Since the amount of publications regarding CDs has been growing nearly exponentially in the last ten years, many improvements have been made in the optical properties of CDs such as QY and PL lifetime. However, a great deal of confusion remains regarding the PL mechanism of CDs as well as their structural properties. Therefore, presented in this review is a summary and discussion of the QYs and PL lifetimes reported in recent years. The effect of method as well as precursor has been evaluated and discussed appropriately. The current theories regarding the PL mechanism of CDs are discussed, with special attention to the concept of surface state-controlled PL. With this knowledge, the improvement of preparation and applications of CDs related to their optical properties will be easily accomplished. Further improvements can be made to CDs through the understanding of their structural and optical properties.

Abstract
The diverse chemical functionalities and wide availability of biomolecules make them essential and cost-effective resources for the fabrication of zero-dimensional quantum dots (QDs, also known as bio-dots) with extraordinary properties, such as high photoluminescence quantum yield, tunable emission, photo and chemical stability, excellent aqueous solubility, scalability, and biocompatibility. The additional advantages of scalability, tunable optical features and presence of heteroatoms make them suitable alternatives to conventional metal-based semiconductor QDs in the field of bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery, solar cells, photocatalysis, and light-emitting devices. Furthermore, a recent focus of the scientific community has been on QD-based sustainable optoelectronics due to the primary concern of partially mitigating the current energy demand without affecting the environment. Hence, it is noteworthy to focus on the sustainable optoelectronic applications of biomolecule-derived QDs, which have tunable optical features, biocompatibility and the scope of scalability. This review addresses the recent advances in the synthesis, properties, and optoelectronic applications of biomolecule-derived QDs (especially, carbon- and graphene-based QDs (C-QDs and G-QDs, respectively)) and discloses their merits and disadvantages, challenges and future prospects in the field of sustainable optoelectronics. In brief, the current review focuses on two major issues: (i) the advantages of two families of carbon nanomaterials (i.e. C-QDs and G-QDs) derived from biomolecules of various categories, for instance (a) plant extracts including fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, peels, and vegetables; (b) simple sugars and polysaccharides; (c) different amino acids and proteins; (d) nucleic acids, bacteria and fungi; and (e) biomasses and their waste and (ii) their applications as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), display systems, solar cells, photocatalysts and photo detectors. This review will not only bring a new paradigm towards the construction of advanced, sustainable and environment-friendly optoelectronic devices using natural resources and waste, but also provides critical insights to inspire researchers ranging from material chemists and chemical engineers to biotechnologists to search for exciting developments of this field and consequently make an advance step towards future bio-optoelectronics.

Abstract
A sensitive sandwich electrochemiluminescence immunosensor was established by employing graphene oxide-PEI-carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-Au nanohybrid as probe to measure carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3), a breast cancer biomarker. In this work, nanocomposites of Ag nanoparticles and polydopamine (AgNPs-PDA) were synthesized by redox reaction between dopamine and Ag+. The nanocomposite with high surface area can provide an efficient substrate for immobilizing initial antibody (Ab1). Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are fixed on polyethylenimine-functionalized graphene oxide (PEI-GO) by amide bonds. Au nanoparticles are modified on CQDs-decorated PEI-GO substrates. The secondary antibody (Ab2) was immobilized by AuNPs/CQDs-PEI-GO composite. CQDs can be assembled onto the surface of an electrode by incorporation of CA15-3 with Ab1 and Ab2. Under the synergistic action of AgNPs, polydopamine, AuNPs, and PEI-GO, the ECL signal of CQDs is greatly amplified as an excellent conductive material to facilitate electron transfer rate and further increase electrochemical detection capability. Under optimal conditions, the fabricated immunosensor showed a linear concentration range from 0.005 to 500 U mL-1, with a detection limit of 0.0017 U mL-1 (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) for CA15-3. The designed ECL immunosensor displayed receivable accuracy, excellent stability, and high specificity. The results of the detection of human serum samples are satisfactory, revealing that the method offers a potential application for the clinical diagnosis of tumor markers.

Abstract
Rapid development in medicine and pharmacy has created a need for novel biomaterials with advanced properties such as photoluminescence, biocompability and long-term stability. The following research deals with the preparation of novel types of N-doped chitosan-based carbon quantum dots. Nanomaterials were obtained with simultaneous nitrogen-doping using biocompatible amino acids according to Green Chemistry principles. For the carbon quantum dots synthesis chitosan was used as a raw material known for its biocompability. The nanomaterials obtained in the form of lyophilic colloids were characterized by spectroscopic and spectrofluorimetric methods. Their quantum yields were determined. Additionally the cytotoxicity of the prepared bionanomaterials was evaluated by XTT (2,3-Bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide salt) method. Our results confirmed the formation of biocompatible quantum dots with carbon cores exhibiting luminescence in visible range. Performed studies showed that modification with lysine (11.5%) and glutamic acid (7.4%) had a high impact on quantum yield, whereas functionalization with amino acids rich in S and N atoms did not significantly increase in fluorescence properties. XTT assays as well as morphological studies on human dermal fibroblasts confirmed the lack of cytotoxicity of the prepared bionanomaterials. The study shows chitosan-based quantum dots to be promising for biomedical applications such as cell labelling, diagnostics or controlled drug delivery and release systems.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which are a fascinating class of nanostructured carbons, have recently attracted extensive attention in the field of membrane technologies for their applications in separation processes. This is because they possess two unique advantages. Their productions are facile and inexpensive, while their physicochemical properties such as ultra-small sizes, good biocompatibility, high chemical inertness, tunable hydrophilicity, rich surface functional groups and antifouling characteristics are highly desirable. Leveraging on these, researchers have explored their utilizations in various membrane designs for reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), forward osmosis (FO), pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), membrane distillation (MD), and organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) processes. In particular, CQDs have especially stimulated exploration in the field of water treatment by membrane technologies since biocompatibility of membrane materials is of utmost importance to ensure safety of drinking water. In addition, CQDs are in a favorable position for achieving unprecedented performance of membrane separation processes in water treatment, in the light of substantial efficiency enhancement and antifouling propensity as discovered in recent studies. In this article, we will review the progress in the development of CQD incorporated membranes with discussions on their challenges and perspectives.

Abstract
Fluorescent dye staining combined with fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry is becoming a routine way to monitor microorganism viability that is necessary for food safety, antibiotic development, and human health. However, the conventional live/dead assay dyes suffer from high cost, inconvenient staining steps, and high cytotoxicity, which is urgently needed to overcome. Herein, cheap carbon dots, CDs-EPS605, were reported to successfully assess microbial viability in a convenient way with neglectable cytotoxicity. The fluorescent N-doped CDs-EPS605 could be facilely prepared from bacterial amino exopolysaccharide (EPS) by one-step hydrothermal carbonization, which is cost-effective and sustainable. The negatively charged CDs-EPS605 consisted of C, H, O, N, P, and S, and featured various functional groups, including -COOH, -OH, -CONH-, and -NH2. CDs-EPS605 were observed to sensitively and selectively stain dead microorganisms instead of live ones to enable discrimination of live/dead microorganisms. The labeling method with CDs-EPS605 did not require protection from light, or washing, which is convenient. Additionally, CDs-EPS605 displayed better photostability and much less cytotoxicity compared to the commercial counterpart. Altogether, CDs-EPS605 represent a simple, yet powerful staining agent for microbial viability assessment, and at the same time enrich the current applications of microbial EPS.

Abstract
Herein, the fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with blue emission were prepared by hydrothermal treatment using pineapple peel as a source of carbon. The as-prepared CDs exhibited turn-Off fluorescence behavior toward Hg2+ and subsequent turn-On behavior for l-cysteine along with enhanced biocompatibility and negligible cytotoxicity for cell imaging. The practical applicability of carbon dots was used for the quantification of Hg2+ in water. On the basis of the spectral characteristic changes, we have designed individual elementary logic operations such as NOT and IMP gates, by utilizing CD as probe and Hg2+ and l-Cys as chemical inputs. We have also demonstrated the utility of this system in electronic security devices and as memory element, with the idea of the switching.

Abstract
As-synthesized malic acid carbon dots are found to possess photoblinking properties that are outstanding and superior compared to those of conventional dyes. Considering their excellent biocompatibility, malic acid carbon dots are suitable for super-resolution fluorescence localization microscopy under a variety of conditions, as we demonstrate in fixed and live trout gill epithelial cells. In addition, during imaging experiments, the so-called "excitation wavelength-dependent" emission was not observed for individual as-made malic acid carbon dots, which motivated us to develop a time-saving and high-throughput separation technique to isolate malic acid carbon dots into fractions of different particle size distributions using C18 reversed-phase silica gel column chromatography. This post-treatment allowed us to determine how particle size distribution influences the optical properties of malic acid carbon dot fractions, that is, optical band gap energies and photoluminescence behaviors.

Abstract
Nature provides an almost limitless supply of sources that inspire scientists to develop new materials with novel applications and less of an environmental impact. Recently, much attention has been focused on preparing natural-product-derived carbon dots (NCDs), because natural products have several advantages. First, natural products are renewable and have good biocompatibility. Second, natural products contain heteroatoms, which facilitate the fabrication of heteroatom-doped NCDs without the addition of an external heteroatom source. Finally, some natural products can be used to prepare NCDs in ways that are very green and simple relative to traditional methods for the preparation of carbon dots from man-made carbon sources. NCDs have shown tremendous potential in many fields, including biosensing, bioimaging, optoelectronics, and photocatalysis. This Review addresses recent progress in the synthesis, properties, and applications of NCDs. The challenges and future direction of research on NCD-based materials in this booming field are also discussed.

Abstract
To detect and adsorb methylene blue (MB) from wastewater simultaneously, a solid fluorescent and absorbent material was designed by immobilizing attapulgite (ATP) on calcium alginate (CA) and reacting with carbon dots (CDs) which were modified by the activation of γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (KH-560), then the CA/ATP-g-CDs gel fibers were prepared. The problem of CDs easily falling out of materials was solved. The structures of the gel fibers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), specific surface area (BET) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The thermal properties were analyzed by thermogravimetry (TG). The adsorption capacity was measured and the effect of initial pH was investigated. The results showed that ATP was successfully reacted with CA and the adsorption capacity was enhanced with the increase of the pH value. CA/ATP-g-CDs gel fibers were favorable materials to detect and adsorb MB simultaneously, and MB could be adsorbed by gel fibers and also the fluorescence of CA/ATP-g-CDs was weakened. At low concentrations of MB (1 μg L−1), the removal efficiency could even be as high as 100%. To detect and adsorb methylene blue (MB) from wastewater simultaneously, a solid fluorescent and absorbent material was designed by immobilizing attapulgite (ATP) on calcium alginate (CA) and reacting with carbon dots (CDs), then the CA/ATP-g-CDs gel fibers were prepared.![]()

Abstract
Carbon dots (C-dots) are luminescent carbon nanomaterial having good biocompatibility and low toxicity. The characteristic fluorescence emission property of C-dots establishes their role in optical imaging. C-dots which are superior to fluorescent dyes and semiconductor quantum dots act as a safer in vivo imaging probe. Apart from their bioimaging application, other applications in biomedicine such as drug delivery, cancer therapy, and gene delivery were studied. In this review, we present multifaceted applications of C-dots along with their synthesis, surface passivation, doping, and toxicity profile.

One-Pot Synthesis of Carbon Nanodots in an Organic Medium with Aggregation-Induced Emission Enhancement (AIEE): A Rationale for "Enzyme-Free" Detection of Cholesterol. ACS OMEGA 2017; 2:3816-3827. [PMID: 30023705 PMCID: PMC6044871 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.7b00643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2017] [Accepted: 06/22/2017] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Addressing the limitations associated with the detection of cholesterol, we present a one-pot synthesis of a carbon nanodot (CD) in an organic medium (CDorg) from a novel bile acid hydrazone-based organogel. Interestingly, CDorg possesses the aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) phenomenon, which rationally aids in the "enzyme-free" detection of cholesterol through a fluorescence turn-on mechanism. On dilution of the THF/water mixture of CDorg with its poor solvent (water), a 9.8-fold enhancement in its photoluminescence (PL) emission is witnessed. Such an enhancement in PL emission is credited to the occurrence of molecular restrictions due to the formation of nanoaggregates of CDorg, thereby initiating a radiative pathway for exciton decay. Excitingly on adding cholesterol to CDorg, we observed a similar enhancement in its PL emission without the use of any cholesterol oxidase (ChO x ) enzyme. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of cholesterol is found to be as low as 1.09 and 3.64 μM, respectively. Hence, this contribution highlights the enzyme-free fluorescence turn-on detection of cholesterol by a novel CD rationally designed to extend its applicability in an organic medium, where it is still considered a major restraint.
