N, S-codoped carbon dots for antioxidants and their nanovehicle potential as molecular cargoes.

This work demonstrates the facile one step hydrothermal synthesis of carbon dots doped with nitrogen and sulfur (SCDs). The carbon dots have various uses, including their use as molecular payloads for antioxidant and drug delivery purposes. The sizes of the CDs were determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed an average size of 4.
