Carbon dots (CDs) were hydrothermally synthesized from selenious yeast. They were further coupled with riboflavin to form a dually emitting probe for ciprofloxacin (CIP). Under 370 nm excitation, the probe displays dual (blue and green) emissions with peaks at 443 and 510 nm. When CIP is added, the blue fluorescence of the CDs is enhanced while the green fluorescence remains unaffected. The ratio of the relative fluorescence intensities at 443 and 510 nm increases linearly in the 0.5-200 μM CIP concentration range. The fluorescent probe is selective and has a 0.13 μM detection limit. Satisfactory recoveries (97.9-101.1%) were received when the probe was used to quantify CIP in spiked water and human serum samples. Graphical abstractBlue-emissive carbon dots were prepared from selenious yeast via a hydrothermal method, and then coupled with riboflavin as a ratiometric fluorometric probe for ciprofloxacin determination.

In this study, bio-based composite films with enhanced barrier, mechanical, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties were prepared by incorporating Stropharia rugosoannulata waste (SP)-derived polysaccharides (SPP) and carbon dots (SPCDs) as an active substance into gelatin (GEL) matrix, which were evaluated for their potential application in pork preservation. The effects of varying concentrations of SPCDs on the morphology, microstructure, and overall performance of the films were systematically investigated. The findings demonstrated that the addition of SPCDs to the GEL/SPP matrix significantly improved the mechanical strength, water vapor permeability, and ultraviolet light blocking ability of the composite films.

Natural polymer based food packaging has attracted more and more attention, but the lack of active functions of natural polymer hinders its application in the field of active packaging. In this study, chlorogenic acid carbon dots (CGA-CDs) was synthesized mildly using natural plant polyphenol CGA as carbon source, and CGA functionalized layered clays (LDHs@CGA) was introduced as reinforcing agent. Alg active films were fabricated by solution casting method using natural polysaccharide-alginate (Alg), CGA-CDs and LDHs@CGA.

Utilizing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to mimic biological skin capable of converting external stimuli into optical and electrical signals represents a significant advancement in the development of advanced photonic materials. However, traditional CNC photonic materials typically exhibit static and singular optical properties, with their structural color and mechanical performance being susceptible to water molecules, thereby limiting their practical applications. In this study, CNC-based conductive elastomers with dynamic mechanochromism, fluorescence responsiveness, and enhanced water resistance were developed by incorporating carbon quantum dots (C QDs) and hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDES) into CNC photonic films via an in-situ swelling-photopolymerization method.

Nitrogen doped Carbon Quantum Dots (NCQDs) have been synthesized using most economical and easiest hydrothermal process. Here, N-phenyl orthophenylenediamine and citric acid were utilised as a source of nitrogen and carbon for the preparation of NCQDs. The synthesized NCQDs were characterized using experimental techniques like UV - Vis absorption, FT-IR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), EDX, dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorimeter and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.
