Calcium (Ca) as a signaling ion and intracellular second messenger plays a crucial role in living organisms for various cellular functions. In the present work, we have designed a novel yellow-fluorescent carbon dots (LERCDs) using lanthanum, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and rutin as precursors for the sensing of Ca ions. In this sense, a combination of hydrothermal and reflux methods was adopted. The as-designed LERCDs display bright yellow color emission in the aqueous solutions with a high quantum yield (23.8%). The LERCDs showed excitation-independent emission property along with magnificent photostability and time stability. The LERCDs show potential fluorescence quenching response towards the Ca ions in the concentration range of 0-25 μM with a detection limit of 2.19 μM. The LERCDs have studied for extracellular sensing of Ca ions in both melanoma cell lines (A375) and onion epidermal cells by employing fluorescence microscopy. The LERCDs facilitate low cytotoxicity and superior biocompatibility features in A375 cells. The practicality of LERCDs was studied in biological samples like the human serum.

In this work, a facile and rapid fluorescence turn-off-on sensing method was developed for the detection of Pb and metalaxyl fungicide in environmental samples using yellow carbon dots (CDs) from Cordia dichotoma fruits. The prepared C. dichotoma-CDs showed the emission band (𝜆) at 535 nm under 448 nm of excitation wavelength.

Paper-based microfluidic analytical devices (μPADs) have become promising alternatives to clinical laboratory-based methods for point-of-care testing (POCT) of biomarkers in family care and resource-limited communities. Here, Co-doped carbon dots (Co-CDs) nanozyme with outstanding oxidase-mimicking catalytic activity and red fluorescent emission were prepared, and combined adhered-3D μPAD (A-3D μPAD) to monitor facilely alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level in whole blood samples. Co-CDs catalyzed the oxidization of nonfluorescent o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) with yellow fluorescent emission due to the generation of tremendous O species.

Hence, N,S-CDs with photoluminescent property were simply synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. Combined with the commercial reagent Ce, a ratiometric fluorescence assay for ascorbic acid (AA) detection was established. Ce, possessing oxidization, could directly oxidize o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to form the yellow fluorescent product oxOPD.
