Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on converting plastic waste into fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) by using a sustainable carbonization process and then enhancing their functionality with L-cysteine and o-phenylenediamine for metal ion detection.
- - Various analytical techniques, like X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, were used to characterize these CDs, which successfully detect toxic metal ions like Cu, Fe, and Hg at low concentrations, while also aiding in the detection of histamine.
- - Additionally, the research involved using these CDs for cellular imaging in yeast cells and included theoretical studies to confirm the structure and spectral properties of CDs, aligning experimental results with computational predictions.
