Biomass materials have abundant natural resources, renewability and good biochemical compatibility, so biomass-based fluorescent materials prepared from biomass materials have gradually become a research hotspot. In particular, the low cost and environmentally friendly properties of chitosan have been widely used in the field of functional materials. Chitosan-based functional materials have attracted extensive attention in the detection and removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. They have been widely used in biological imaging, environmental detection, drug carriers and other fields. This paper reviews the preparation and application of chitosan-based fluorescent probes, including chitosan-derived fluorescent probe materials and chitosan-based carbon quantum dots. At the same time, it focuses on the application research of chitosan-based carbon quantum dots in the fields of environmental detection, cell imaging, drug carriers, photocatalysis, . In addition, it provides new ideas and application prospects for the development and application of chitosan-based fluorescent materials in the future.

Chitosan, a biodegradable and biocompatible natural polymer composed of β-(1-4)-linked -acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) and d-glucosamine (GlcN) and derived from crustacean shells, has been widely studied for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, cartilage repair, wound healing, and tissue engineering, because of its unique physicochemical properties. One of the most promising areas of research is the investigation of the immunomodulatory properties of chitosan, since the biopolymer has been shown to modulate the maturation, activation, cytokine production, and polarization of dendritic cells and macrophages, two key immune cells involved in the initiation and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses, leading to enhanced immune responses. Several signaling pathways, including the cGAS-STING, STAT-1, and NLRP3 inflammasomes, are involved in chitosan-induced immunomodulation.

Immobilization of Paenibacillus polymyxa has been proposed to improve the cell stability and efficiency of the fermentation process, reduce contamination and provide easy separation of butanediol in the culture broth as compared to conventional bioprocesses. This research aimed to explore the potential of Paenibacillus polymyxa with immobilization technique to produce 2,3-butanediol.

In this work, a nanocomposite film, designated as CS/PA, was fabricated by integrating chitosan (CS), porphyrinic porous coordination network (PCN), and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). PCN modified AgNPs was denoted as PCN-AgNPs (PA). The synthesis of PA was verified through transmission electron microscope, Zeta potential, hydrated particle size, element mapping.
