In this work, the carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by an one-pot portable hydrothermal method from sodium citrate and NHHCO. The obtained CDs were found to show high fluorescence quantum yield (31%), excitation-wavelength independence, outstanding water-soluble, excellent chemical and optical stability. Interestingly, it was discovered that sunset yellow (SY) was sensitive and effective in quenching the fluorescence of CDs. Based on this observation, CDs could be applied as a novel fluoescent probe for detection of SY. The analytical potential of this probe was evaluated and illustrated a good linear relationship at the concentration range from 0.25 to 56.0 μmol L with a detection limit (3σ/k) of 74.49 nmol L. Meanwhile, the practicality of this nanosensor for SY determination in real samples was validated with good accuracy and precision. In addtion, long time UV radiation and high ionic strength hardly influenced on the fluorescence intensity of CDs. However, the fluorescence intensity of CDs decreased at higher temperature and the fluorescence was recovered when temperature back to 5 °C. Therefore, CDs could be also employed as an fluorescent temperature sensor with significant sensitivity, linearity and remarkable reversibility.

Nanohybrids combining phenylboronic acid-modified carbon dots (PCDs) and proteinase K have been engineered for addressing the formidable challenges of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against bacterial biofilm infections, overcoming biofilm barrier obstruction, the limited diffusion of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the inadequate ROS generation of traditional photosensitizers. PCDs are formulated for superior water solubility and robust singlet oxygen (O) production, mitigating issues related to dispersion and aggregation-induced quenching typical of conventional photosensitizers. The conjugation of phenylboronic acid to CDs not only enhanced O generation through increased electron-hole separation but also imparted strong bacterial binding capabilities to the PCDs, enabling broad-spectrum sterilization by maximizing the ROS-mediated bacterial destruction.

Emerging of the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) provides a new opportunity for enhancing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. However, its stability suffers from metal cation dissolution and lattice oxygen anionic redox chemistry. In this paper, carbon dots (CDs)-modified nickel-iron MOF (Metal-Organic Framework) nanosheets (NiFe-BDC/CDs) were prepared for efficient OER electrocatalysis.

Carbon dots (CDs), one type of zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, showed extensive application in food analysis. Herein, CDs as fluorometry and colorimetry probes were developed to determine peroxydisulfate (PDS) and phosphate ion (Pi) in food samples. CDs were developed with one-pot hydrothermal process from 5-amino salicylic acid and o/m-phenylenediamine named o/m-CDs.

The choices of matrices and protocols for sample deposition are critical factors, which impact each other in the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). Previous reports on MALDI MS matrices have only compared their performances in terms of their MS signal intensities and provided optical microphotos or MALDI MS images of sample spots but typically lacked quantitative evaluation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a multivariate model to evaluate the performance of different combinations of matrices and sample protocols.

Blue light emitted by commercial white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) in the 440-470 nm range poses ocular health risks with prolonged exposure. Effective filtration is crucial for health-conscious lighting, but traditional filters often cause color distortion by completely removing blue emission. In this study, we address this challenge by synthesizing carbon dots (CDs) with strong absorption at 460 nm and bright cyan emission at 485 nm, featuring a photoluminescence quantum yield of 65% and a narrow full width at half-maximum of 30 nm.
