Facile synthesis of carbon nitride quantum dots as a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor for the tetracycline detection.

ABSTRACT: Enhanced blue fluorescent carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C₃N₄QDs) were synthesized by a simple solvothermal "tailoring" process from bulk g-C₃N₄ and analyzed by various characterization methods. The as-obtained g-C₃N₄QDs were successfully applied in the determination of tetracycline (TC) with a good linear relationship in the range of 0.23-202.70 μM. The proposed fluorescent sensor shows excellent stability, good repeatability, high selectivity and outstanding sensitivity to TC with a low detection limit of 0.19 μM. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of g-C₃N₄QDs with TC was mainly governed by static quenching and the inner filter effect. The method was successfully applied to monitor TC in tap water and milk powder samples.

Highly rapid and non-enzymatic detection of cholesterol based on carbon nitride quantum dots as fluorescent nanoprobes.

Project description:In this work, we reported a highly rapid and non-enzymatic method for cholesterol measuring based on carbon nitride quantum dots (CNQDs) as fluorescent nanoprobes, which were synthesized through chemical oxidation. The obtained CNQDs displayed high quantum yield up to 35% as well as excellent photostability, water solubility and low toxicity. We found that the fluorescence of CNQDs could be quenched more than 90% within 30 seconds by cholesterol through the formation of hydrogen bonds between -NH2, -NH on the surface of CNQDs and cholesterol containing -OH. According to this phenomenon, a cholesterol detection method was constructed with a wide linear region over the range of 0-500 μmol L-1 and a detection limit as low as 10.93 μmol L-1, and it possessed the obvious advantages of being a very rapid process and avoiding the use of enzymes. In addition, this method showed high selectivity in the presence of various interfering reagents and applicability to the measurement of cholesterol in fetal bovine serum, which indicated its potential application value in clinical settings.

Full-color fluorescent carbon quantum dots.

Project description:Quantum dots have innate advantages as the key component of optoelectronic devices. For white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), the modulation of the spectrum and color of the device often involves various quantum dots of different emission wavelengths. Here, we fabricate a series of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) through a scalable acid reagent engineering strategy. The growing electron-withdrawing groups on the surface of CQDs that originated from acid reagents boost their photoluminescence wavelength red shift and raise their particle sizes, elucidating the quantum size effect. These CQDs emit bright and remarkably stable full-color fluorescence ranging from blue to red light and even white light. Full-color emissive polymer films and all types of high-color rendering index WLEDs are synthesized by mixing multiple kinds of CQDs in appropriate ratios. The universal electron-donating/withdrawing group engineering approach for synthesizing tunable emissive CQDs will facilitate the progress of carbon-based luminescent materials for manufacturing forward-looking films and devices.

Fluorescence enhancement of carbon dots by graphene for highly sensitive detection of tetracycline hydrochloride.

Project description:In this study, fluorescence of self-assembled multilayers (SAMs) of carbon dots (CDs) was found to be enhanced by graphene. The number of polyelectrolyte layers can be tuned to control the distance between CDs and graphene in SAMs. The enhanced fluorescence efficiency was found to be dependent on graphene concentration, degree of graphene reduction, and the distance between CDs and graphene surface. When graphene concentration and polyelectrolyte bilayer number were set to 0.005 mg mL-1 and 3 layers, respectively, fluorescence intensity of CDs could be increased up to 3.2 times. Tetracycline hydrochloride (Tc) could be detected by the established SAMs in the presence of graphene as the sensitivity was 2 orders higher than that of SAMs in the absence of graphene. Limit of detection of this sensing system was 0.9284 nM, which is 1-3 orders of magnitude lower than those of most of reported fluorescence sensors. This method could be successfully applied to detect trace Tc in milk samples.

Facile Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots with Chitosan for Fluorescent Detection of Fe3.

Project description:A facile, economical, and one-step hydrothermal method was used to prepare highly luminescent nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) with chitosan as both carbon and nitrogen sources. The as-prepared N-CQDs have an average size of 2 nm and exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent fluorescence with a maximum excitation and emission at 330 and 410 nm, respectively. Furthermore, due to the effective quenching effect of Fe3+ ions, the prepared N-CQDs can be used as a fluorescent sensor for Fe3+ ion-sensitive detection with a detection limit of 0.15 ?M. The selectivity experiments revealed that the fluorescent sensor is specific to Fe3+ even with interference by high concentrations of other metal ions. Most importantly, the N-CQD-based Fe3+ ion sensor can be successfully applied to the determination of Fe3+ in real water samples. With excellent sensitivity and selectivity, such stable and cheap carbon materials are potentially suitable for the monitoring of Fe3+ in environmental application.

Facile and Green Synthesis of Highly Fluorescent Carbon Quantum Dots from Water Hyacinth for the Detection of Ferric Iron and Cellular Imaging.

Project description:Natural biomass is used for facile synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with high fluorescence, owing to its abundance, low cost, and eco-friendliness. In this study, a bottom-up hydrothermal method was used to prepare CQDs from water hyacinth (wh) at a constant temperature of 180 °C for 12 h. The synthesized wh-CQDs had uniform size, amorphous graphite structure, high water solubility (containing multiple hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface), excitation light-dependent characteristics, and high photostability. The results showed that the aqueous solution of CQDs could detect Fe3+ rapidly, sensitively, and highly selectively with a detection limit of 0.084 μM in the linear range of 0-330 μM, which is much lower than the detection limit of 0.77 μM specified by the World Health Organization. More importantly, because the wh-CQDs were synthesized without any additives, they exhibited low toxicity to Klebsiella sp. cells even at high concentrations. Moreover, wh-CQDs emitted bright blue fluorescence in Klebsiella sp. cells, indicating its strong penetrating ability. Correspondingly, the fluorescent cell sorting results also revealed that the proportion of cell internalization reached 41.78%. In this study, wh-CQDs derived from natural biomass were used as high-performance fluorescent probes for Fe3+ detection and Klebsiella sp. imaging. This study is expected to have great significance for the application of biomass carbon spots in the field of cellular imaging and biology.

Project description:Water-soluble P, N, B-co-doped carbon quantum dots (PNBCDs) synthesized using a convenient hydrothermal method exhibit many excellent features, such as strong fluorescence, excitation-independent emission, high monodispersity, good stability, and excellent water solubility with a fluorescence quantum yield of 21.95%. The as-prepared PNBCDs possessed remarkable selectivity and sensitivity towards curcumin with the linear range of 0-1.5 μmol L-1 and the detection limit for curcumin was 68 nmol L-1 (3σ/k). Additionally, the wonderfully reversible and repeatable sensitivity to external temperature makes it possible that the PNBCDs could be used as a biocompatible fluorescent ink and for thermo-sensitive devices.

Facile synthesis of N-doped graphene quantum dots as a fluorescent sensor for Cr(vi) and folic acid detection.

Project description:The development of stable fluorescent sensors for toxic pollutants and drugs is meaningful to the environment and public health. In this work, nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were facially synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using soluble starch and l-arginine as carbon and nitrogen sources in pure water at 190 °C for 4 h. The as-synthesized N-GQDs were well characterized and displayed blue fluorescence emission at 445 nm with excellent pH stability, salt tolerance, thermostability, photobleaching resistance and reproducibility. Moreover, N-GQDs could serve as an "on-off" sensor for selective detection of Cr(vi) and folic acid with low detection limit (0.80 and 2.1 μM), good linear correlation over wide linear range (0-50 μM and 0-200 μM) as well as short response time (<10 s). The practical applications of N-GQDs for Cr(vi) and folic acid detection in actual samples were further investigated and showed acceptable recoveries (92-105%) with relative standard deviations less than 5%. These results indicated that this N-GQDs-based sensor could be a potential alternative for Cr(vi) and folic acid detection in the fields of environmental monitoring and drug analysis.

Highly sensitive ultraviolet photodetectors fabricated from ZnO quantum dots/carbon nanodots hybrid films.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodetectors have been fabricated from ZnO quantum dots/carbon nanodots hybrid films, and the introduction of carbon nanodots improves the performance of the photodetectors greatly. The photodetectors can be used to detect very weak ultraviolet signals (as low as 12 nW/cm(2)). The detectivity and noise equivalent power of the photodetector can reach 3.1 × 10(17) cmHz(1/2)/W and 7.8 × 10(-20) W, respectively, both of which are the best values ever reported for ZnO-based photodetectors. The mechanism for the high sensitivity of the photodetectors has been attributed to the enhanced carrier-separation at the ZnO/C interface.

Constructing Heterogeneous Photocatalysts Based on Carbon Nitride Nanosheets and Graphene Quantum Dots for Highly Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation.

Project description:Although graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CNs) with atomic thickness are considered as promising materials for hydrogen production, the wide band gap (3.06 eV) and rapid recombination of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs impede their applications. To address the above challenges, we synergized atomically thin CNs and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which were fabricated as 2D/0D Van der Waals heterojunctions, for H2 generation in this study. The experimental characterizations indicated that the addition of GQDs to the π-conjugated system of CNs can expand the visible light absorption band. Additionally, the surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV) confirmed that introducing GQDs into CNs can facilitate the transport of photoinduced carriers in the melon chain, thus suppressing the recombination of charge carriers in body. As a result, the H2 production activity of the Van der Waals heterojunctions was 9.62 times higher than CNs. This study provides an effective strategy for designing metal-free Van der Waals hetero-structured photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity.
