AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Herein we describe an easy one step synthesis of carbon nanodots (C-dots) by thermal carbonization of 6-bromohexylboronic acid using two different amine compounds, polyethyleneglycol bis(3-aminopropyl (PEGA) and 1,2-aminopropane (DPA), at 180 °C in atmospheric oxygen. The as-synthesized C-dots were characterized by FTIR, HRTEM, NMR and fluorescence. The C-dots prepared using PEGA showed a strong emission at 440 nm with excitation at 362 nm. These C-dots exhibited analytical potential as sensing probes for tannic acid (TA) determination. pH effect, interferences, and analytical performance of the method were investigated. The method was found effective in the linear concentration range from 0.1 to 10 mg L(-1) TA achieving a limit of detection equal 0.018 mg L(-1) TA. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by direct measurements of TA in red and white wine samples. Validation of the method was achieved by spiking the wine samples with different standard TA concentrations obtaining recoveries in the range (90-112.5%). A probable mechanism by which TA quenched the C-dots fluorescence was proposed.

Vanadium-based compounds exhibit a high theoretical capacity to be used as anode materials in sodium-ion batteries, but the volume change in the active ions during the process of release leads to structural instability during the cycle. The structure of carbon nanofibers is stable, while it is difficult to deform. At the same time, the huge specific surface area energy of quantum dot materials can speed up the electrochemical reaction rate.

Ultrafine Pt-based alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon substrates have attracted significant attention due to their catalytic potential. Nevertheless, ensuring the stability of these nanoparticles remains a critical challenge, impeding their broad application. In this work, novel nanodot arrays (NAs) are introduced where superfine alloy nanoparticles are uniformly implanted in a 2D carbon substrate and securely anchored.

Sustainable energy societies demand rechargeable batteries using ubiquitous-material electrodes of geopolitical-risk-free elements. We aim to develop low-overpotential oxygen-evolution-reaction (OER) catalysts that suppress carbon corrosion of gas-diffusion electrodes (GDEs) to realize two-electrode rechargeable Zn-air batteries (r-ZABs). Herein, single-walled-carbon-nanotube (SWNT) thin films are used as a scaffold for a benchmark OER catalyst, doping-free NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFeLDHs), operating in r-ZABs using alkali aqueous electrolytes.

In classical photodynamic therapy, tumor cells are killed by the cytotoxic species via type-I/II photochemical reactions, seriously limited by the external photoexcitation and hypoxia. Herein, the electron transfer mechanism between fluorophores and peroxalate-HO reaction is investigated and the singlet/triplet electron exchange is utilized to achieve long-persistent chemiluminescence imaging and synergistic type-I/II/III photodynamic therapy. As a proof-of-concept, the photosensitizers of carbon nanodots (CDs)-loaded chlorin e6 (CDs-Ce6) are designed and integrated with the peroxalate molecules, and the as-prepare polymer carbon nanodots (p-CDs) exhibit novel tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive long-persistent near-infrared CL and photochemical reactions, evoking the in vivo imaging and synergistic dynamic therapy in tumor tissue.

Constructing heterostructures is an effective strategy for the synthesis of high-performance anode electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, a "bubbling" PEGylated deep eutectic solvent (DES) method is utilized to synthesize SnO/SnS heterostructure nanodots anchored on carbon nanosheets (SnO/SnS@CN). A comprehensive investigation of the physical and chemical processes during the "bubbling" reaction offers in-depth insights into the underlying mechanism of the PEGylated DES approach.
