Starch-Based Carbon Dots for Nitrite and Sulfite Detection.

ABSTRACT: Nitrite and sulfite play important roles in human health and environmental science, so it is desired to develop a facile and efficient method to evaluate NO₂ ^- and SO₃ ^2- concentrations. In this article, the use of green alternatives with the potential of multi-functionality has been synthesized to detect nitrite and sulfite based on fluorescent probe. The carbon dots (CDs) with starch as only raw materials show fluorescence turn "on-off-on" response towards NO₂ ^- and SO₃ ^2- with the limits of detection of 0.425 and 0.243 μМ, respectively. Once nitrite was present in the solution, the fluorescence of CDs was quenched rapidly due to the charge transfer. When sulfite was introduced, the quenching fluorescence of CDs was effectively recovered because of the redox reaction between NO₂ ^- and SO₃ ^2-, and thus providing a new way for NO₂ ^- and SO₃ ^2- detection. Owing to their excellent analytical characteristics and low cytotoxicity, the "on-off-on" sensor was successfully employed for intracellular bioimaging of NO₂ ^- and SO₃ ^2-.

Detection of nitrite based on fluorescent carbon dots by the hydrothermal method with folic acid.

Project description:A fluorescent carbon dots probe for the detection of aqueous nitrite was fabricated by a one-pot hydrothermal method, and the transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, UV-Vis absorption spectrometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer were used to study the property of carbon dots. The fluorescent property of carbon dots influenced by the concentration of aqueous nitrite was studied. The interaction between the electron-donating functional groups and the electron-accepting nitrous acid could account for the quenching effect on carbon dots by adding aqueous nitrite. The products of the hydrolysis of aqueous nitrite performed a stronger quenching effect at lower pH. The relationship between the relative fluorescence intensity of carbon dots and the concentration of nitrite was described by the Stern-Volmer equation (I0/I - 1 = 0.046[Q]) with a fine linearity (R2 = 0.99). The carbon dots-based probe provides a convenient method for the detection of nitrite concentration.

Preparation of solvent-free starch-based carbon dots for the selective detection of Ru<sup>3+</sup> ions.

Project description:A simple, green, and solvent-free pyrolysis method for the preparation of starch-based carbon dots (CDs) was developed. The CDs prepared at 300 °C exhibited a highest quantum yield of 21.0%, which was mainly due to the high degree of graphitisation of the CDs. The CDs were selective for the detection of Ru3+ ion solutions.

One-step synthesis of green emission carbon dots for selective and sensitive detection of nitrite ions and cellular imaging application.

Project description:In recent years, carbon dot (CD)-based fluorescent sensors for selective ions or small biomolecules have drawn great attention. In this work, highly fluorescent CDs (QY = 21%) were prepared from 2,3-diamino pyridine as the precursor through a facile solvothermal process. The CDs showed high stability and a green emission in aqueous, and the optimal emission wavelength of CDs is 508 nm under the excitation wavelength of 438 nm. Interestingly, a CDs-based nanoprobe was developed for a selective and sensitive fluorescence quenching response to NO2 - in water, and the quenching mechanism was investigated in the work. Besides, the recovery rates of NO2 - in the range of 98-103.5% were found to be acceptable, indicating that the proposed CDs could be act as potential candidates for determination of nitrite ions in real samples. Meanwhile, the nanoprobe was also successfully employed in a visualization biosensing platform for determination of NO2 - in living cells due to its eminent biocompatibility.

Rapid Quantitative Detection for Nitrofurantoin Based on Nitrogen-Doped Highly Photoluminescent Carbon Dots.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCD) with high fluorescence retention and good stability were successfully fabricated using citric acid and urea via a facile and eco-friendly one-step microwave method, which exhibited superior specificity for detection of nitrofurantoin (NFT). Upon the addition of NFT, the fluorescence intensity of NCD at 450 nm was significantly decreased. Besides, a satisfactory linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching efficiency and concentrations of NFT was obtained. Especially, NCD was qualitatively and quantitatively applied for detection NFT in milk and meat extract samples with a high recovery rate. Consequently, it was suggested that the detection method had potential application in the specific detection of NFT, offering a novel approach for veterinary drug residue detection.

A ratiometric fluorescent probe for pH detection based on Ag<sub>2</sub>S quantum dots-carbon dots nanohybrids.

Project description:In this study, a novel ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe for pH monitoring has been developed by synthesizing red fluorescent Ag2S quantum dots (Ag2S QDs) and green fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) nanohybrids (Ag2S CDs) in one pot using CDs as templates. The nanoprobe exhibits dual-emission peaks at 500 and 670 nm under a single-excitation wavelength of 450 nm. The red fluorescence can be selectively quenched by increasing pH, while the green fluorescence is an internal reference. Therefore, the change of the relative fluorescence intensity (I500/I670) in the ratiometric Ag2S CDs probes can be used for pH sensing. The results revealed that I500/I670 of Ag2S CDs probes was linearly related to pH variation between pH 5.4 and 6.8. Meanwhile, the Ag2S CDs probes possessed a good reversibility along with pH changing between 5.0 and 7.0 without any interruption from common metal ions, proteins and other interferences.

Synthesis of N-doped carbon dots and application in vanillin detection based on collisional quenching.

Project description:N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) exhibit bright blue emissions and have been used as viable fluorescent probes in the turn-off fluorometric assay for vanillin detection. NCDs were prepared from glucose and tyrosine using a facile and green synthesis process. The one-pot hydrothermal treatment was used without any strong acid or oxidant. The fluorescence of NCDs (with excitation/emission peaks at 323/416 nm, respectively) can be quenched by vanillin. The quenching mechanism belongs to the dynamic quenching mode due to the molecular collisions of the ground state of vanillin and the excited state of NCDs. This turn-off system could be utilized to quantify vanillin within a linear range of 0.43-264 μM. The limit of detection was 0.10 μM. Moreover, this approach was successfully applied toward the determination of vanillin in food samples.

Natural carbon-based dots from humic substances.

Project description:For the first time, abundant natural carbon-based dots were found and studied in humic substances (HS). Four soluble HS including three humic acids (HA) from different sources and one fulvic acids (FA) were synthetically studied. Investigation results indicate that all the four HS contain large quantities of Carbon-based dots. Carbon-based dots are mainly small-sized graphene oxide nano-sheets or oxygen-containing functional group-modified graphene nano-sheets with heights less than 1 nm and lateral sizes less than 100 nm. Carbon-based nanomaterials not only contain abundant sp2-clusters but also a large quantity of surface states, exhibiting unique optical and electric properties, such as excitation-dependent fluorescence, surface states-originated electrochemiluminescence, and strong electron paramagnetic resonance. Optical and electric properties of these natural carbon-based dots have no obvious relationship to their morphologies, but affected greatly by their surface states. Carbon-based dots in the three HS have relative high densities of surface states whereas the FA has the lowest density of surface states, resulting in their different fluorescence properties. The finding of carbon-based dots in HS provides us new insight into HS, and the unique optical properties of these natural carbon-based dots may give HS potential applications in areas such as bio-imaging, bio-medicine, sensing and optoelectronics.

Fluorescent probe based on N-doped carbon dots for the detection of intracellular pH and glutathione.

Project description:Carbon dots (CDs) as fluorescent probes have been widely exploited to detect biomarkers, however, tedious surface modification of CDs is generally required to achieve a relatively good detection ability. Here, we synthesized N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) from triethylenetetramine (TETA) and m-phenylenediamine (m-PD) using a one-step hydrothermal method. When the pH increases from 3 to 11, the fluorescence intensity of the N-CDs gradually decreases. Furthermore, it displays a linear response to the physiological pH range of 5-8. Au3+ is reduced by amino groups on the surface of N-CDs to generate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), causing fluorescence quenching of the N-CDs. If glutathione (GSH) is then added, the fluorescence of the N-CDs is recovered. The fluorescence intensity of the N-CDs is linearly correlated with the GSH concentration in the range of 50-400 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 7.83 μM. The fluorescence probe was used to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells using pH and to evaluate intracellular GSH. This work expands the application of CDs in multicomponent detection and provides a facile fluorescent probe for the detection of intracellular pH and GSH.

Highly Luminescent Nucleoside-Based N, P-Doped Carbon Dots for Sensitive Detection of Ions and Bioimaging.

Project description:The efficient detection of Fe3+ and MnO4 - in a water environment is very important and challenging due to their harmful effects on the health of humanity and environmental systems. Good biocompatibility, sensitivity, selectivity, and superior photophysical properties were important attributes of carbon dot-based CDs sensors for sensing applications. In this work, we synthesized N, P-co-doped carbon dots (N/P CDs) with guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) as a green carbon source, with high fluorescence quantum yield in water (QY, 53.72%). First, the luminescent N/P CDs showed a three-state "on-off-on" fluorescence response upon the sequential addition of Fe3+ and F-, with a low detection limit of 12 nM for Fe3+ and 8.5 nM for F-, respectively. Second, the N/P CDs also exhibited desirable selectivity and sensitivity for toxic MnO4 - detection with the limit of detection of 18.2 nM, through a turn-off mechanism. Moreover, the luminescent N/P CDs successfully monitored the aforementioned ions in environmental water samples and in Escherichia coli.

Epigenetic characterization of carbon dots functions in rice

Project description:Nanoparticles (NPs) can serve as efficient carriers for delivery of genetic materials in plants. They can regulate normal growth and development, and responses to stresses in plants. However, epigenetic mechanisms underlying NPs or carbon dots (CDs) affecting plant growth and development are still largely unknown. Here we showed that CDs reprogrammed gene transcription associated with some biological processes such as stress responses and photosynthesis. Moreover, CDs resulted in subtle but significant DNA hypermethylation, especially for CHG and CHH hypermethylation, which is possibly caused by CDs induced up-regulation of OsCMTs. Interestingly, we found that CDs stabilized i-motif in the promoter regions of OsCMTs1/2, therefore resulting in CHG and CHH hypermethylation. Thus, our study for the first time reveals possible mechanisms underlying impacts of CDs on cytosine context-dependent DNA methylation on a genome-wide scale, which may regulate genes responsible for CDs-induced phenotypic changes in plants. It will be helpful for considering future application of CDs in improving crop agronomic traits.
