Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different surface functionalities of Carbon dots (CDots) affect their ability to kill bacteria when activated by visible light.
- Three groups of CDots were evaluated based on varied surface functionalizations, including terminal groups, molecular weight, and surface charge, to determine their impact on antimicrobial activity.
- Results showed that CDots with certain functionalities, like EDA and lower molecular weight PEI, were more effective in interacting with bacteria, emphasizing the importance of surface properties in enhancing antimicrobial performance.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon dots (CDots) are a new class of carbon nanomaterials created from small carbon nanoparticles, which are chemically modified to improve their properties for research and applications.
- The study specifically utilized small organic molecules for surface passivation, resulting in CDots that are bright, compact, and suitable for cell imaging.
- Evaluation of these CDots showed they are generally nontoxic to various cell lines, confirming their potential as safe and effective bioimaging agents.
