Si, N-codoped carbon dots: preparation and application in iron overload diagnosis
摘要： Heteroatom doping is a straightforward and smart strategy to improve the fluorescence efficiency of carbon dots (CDs). We synthesized the Si, N-codoped CDs (SiNCDs) with high quantum yield up to 29.7% through one-step hydrothermal method. The linear range for Fe3+ was between 0 and 200 μM, and the limit of detection was about 5 μM, which presented potential for Fe quantification in serum to diagnose Fe overload. In addition, the SiNCDs demonstrated good selectivity to Fe3+ among high concentrations of metal ions, amino acids and H2O2, so there is no need to mix additional reagents as the colorimetric method does in clinic, making SiNCDs more competitive in clinical application. Furthermore, we explored the practicability of SiNCDs by detecting Fe in serum from five healthy volunteers and three patients suffering Fe overload. The recovery rate was from 87.1 to 113.6%, which confirmed the application prospect of SiNCDs in clinical diagnostics.

摘要： Carbon quantum dots (CDs) have inspired vast interests due to their prominent photoluminescence (PL) performances and promising applications in optoelectronic, biomedical and sensing fields. Notably, the development of effective approaches for large-scale CDs production may greatly promote the further advancement of their practical applications. In this review, the newly emerging methods for the large-scale production of CDs are summarized, such as microwave, ultrasonic, plasma, magnetic hyperthermia and microfluidic technology. Then, we introduce the available strategies for constructing CDs/polymer composites with intriguing solid-state PL. Particularly, the multiple roles of CDs are emphatically presented, including fillers, monomers and initiators.

Enhanced Photosensitization by Carbon Dots Co-adsorbing with Dye on p-Type Semiconductor (Nickel Oxide) Solar Cells
摘要： In this work, the effect of carbon dots (C-dots) on the performance of NiO-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) was explored. NiO nanoparticles (NPs) with a rectangular shape (average size: 11.4 x 16.5 nm) were mixed with C-dots, which were synthesized from citric acid (CA) and ethylenediamine (EDA). A photocathode consisting of a composite of C-dots with NiO NPs (NiO@C-dots) was then used to measure the photovoltaic performance of a DSSC. A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.85 % (430 nm LED@50 mWcm-2) was achieved by a DSSC fabricated via the adsorption of N719 sensitizer with a C-dot content of 12.5 wt% at a 1.5:1 EDA:CA molar ratio. This PCE value was far larger than the PCE value (2.44 or 0.152 %) obtained for a NiO DSSC prepared without the addition of C-dots or N719, respectively, indicating the synergetic effect by the co-adsorption of C-dots and N719. This synergetically higher PCE of the NiO@C-dots-based DSSC was due to the larger amount of sensitizer adsorbed onto the composites with a larger specific surface area and the faster charge transfer in the NiO@C-dots working electrode. In addition, the C-dots bound onto the NiO NPs shorten the bandgap of the NiO NPs due to energy transfer and give rise to faster charge separation in the electrode. The most important fact is that C-dots are the main sensitizer and N719 tightly adsorbed on C-dots and NiO behaves as an accelerator of a positive electron transfer and a restrainer of the electron-hole recombination. These results reveal that C-dots are a remarkable enhancer for NiO NPs in DSSCs, and that NiO@C-dots are the promising photovoltaic-electrode materials for DSSCs.

Preparation and comparison of molecularly imprinted polymer fluorimetric nanoprobe based on polymer dots and carbon quantum dots for determination of acetamiprid using response surface method
摘要： In this study molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) based on carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and polymer dots (PDs) are developed for selective determination of acetamiprid using fluorometry. The measurement is based on the fluorescence quenching of CQDs and PDs in the presence of acetamiprid. PDs were prepared using a one-step aqueous synthesis method from ascorbic acid and diethylenetriamine at room temperature. CQDs were prepared from the same materials using the hydrothermal method at 180 °C. These particles were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), FTIR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis, and fluorescence. The quantum yield was 47% for PDs and 8% for CQDs. Then, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) were prepared based on PDs and CQDs using reverse microemulsion method. The fluorescence quenching of CQD@MIPs and PD@MIPs was investigated at an excitation wavelength of 350 nm and emission wavelength of 440 nm in the presence of a template. Other variables affecting the fluorescence peaking were optimized using design expert software. The results illustrate that the use of PD@MIPs had a wide dynamic range 0.08–109 nmol L?1, good accuracy and detection limit of 0.02 nmol L?1, while using CQD@MIPs led to a lower dynamic range 0.36–64 nmol L?1, and detection limit of only 0.11 nmol L?1. The responses of the optical nanoprobe for acetamiprid in water (recovery 92–102%) and apple (recovery 92–103%) were also investigated.

Carbon dots are prepared by electrochemical method using distilled water as the electrolyte and their properties were characterized. A planar photoconductive structure is designed using carbon dots as reactive layer to prepare effective device by processes such as thermal evaporation and the performance of the device was estimated. The results show that the absorption peak of the carbon dots prepared by the electrochemical method is around 230 nm. A photodetector fabricated with carbon dots as an active layer has a good response at 254 nm illumination and the ratio of photocurrent to dark current of the device reaches 188.

Inverted Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes Using Carbon Dots as Selective Contacts: The Effect of Surface Ligands
摘要： We describe the use of carbon dots (C-Dots) as selective contacts for electronic holes in inverted hybrid light-emitting diodes. Moreover, we have studied the effect of the C-Dots’ amine-derivative surface ligands and their impact on the device performance. The different surface ligands affect not only the optical properties of the C-Dots but also the device turn-on voltage and the luminance parameters despite not forming part of the emissive layer. For instance, the C-Dots capped with the aromatic ring p-phenylenediamine show unfavorable effects, whereas the effect of nonaromatic capping ligands depends upon the length of their molecular backbone.

Chirality Inversion on the Carbon Dot Surface via Covalent Surface Conjugation of Cyclic α-Amino Acid Capping Agents
摘要： Manipulating the chiroptical properties at the nanoscale is of great importance in stereoselective reactions, enantioseparation, self-assembly, and biological phenomena. In recent years, carbon dots have garnered great attention because of their favorable properties such as tunable fluorescence, high biocompatibility, and facile, scalable synthetic procedures. Herein, we report for the first time the unusual behavior of cyclic amino acids on the surface of carbon dots prepared via microwave-based carbonization. Various amino acids were introduced on the surface of carbon dots via EDC/NHS conjugation at room temperature. Circular dichroism results revealed that although most of the surface conjugated amino acids can preserve their chirality on negatively charged, “bare” carbon dots, the “handedness” of cyclic α-amino acids can be flipped when covalently attached on carbon dots. Moreover, these chiroptical carbon dots were found to interact with the cellular membrane or its mimic in a highly selective manner due to their acquired asymmetric selectivity. A comprehensive inhibitor study was conducted to investigate the pathway of cellular trafficking of these carbon dots. Overall, it was concluded that the chirality of the amino acid on the surface of carbon dots could regulate many of the cellular processes.

High color rendering index white light-emitting diode based on enviromental friendly carbon and AIZS nanoparticles
摘要： Solid-state white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) based on carbon dots (CDs) have attracted broad attention due to their high brightness and enviromental friendly. However, the poor performance including low efficiency and weak emission of red-emitting CDs further hindered its application on WLED devices. Herein, we constructed one outstanding WLEDs device by combining carbon dots (blue emission, green emission) and Ag-In-Zn-S (AIZS) nanoparticles with red emission. Moreover, by adjusting the volume ratio of the three materials, the WLED showed maximum color rendering index (CRI) of 97 and maintained CRI value above 90 during the correlated color temperature (CCT) tuned from 3387 to 8018 K. Meanwhile, the as-fabricated WLED devices showed excellent color rendering stability during the working voltages from 3.0V to 3.5V. This work may provide one new avenue for development of low-cost, environmental friendly and high-performance CDs phosphor-based WLEDs.

Tunable luminescence and morphological evolution of facile synthesized zinc borate/carbon dots composites for NUV-WLEDs
摘要： A series of zinc borate/carbon dots composites (ZBH/yNCDs) were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The influences of yellow N-doped carbon dots (yNCDs) content on the structure, morphologies and luminescence properties of the zinc borate (4ZnO·B2O3·H2O, ZBH) were investigated. With increasing yNCDs content, ZBH in the ZBH/yNCDs composites gradually lost water and eventually became ZB/yNCDs (4ZnO·B2O3, ZB) composites. Meanwhile, the tunable luminescence of ZBH/yNCDs composites and the morphological evolution from rod-like to blocks to sphere-like were achieved by varying the yNCDs content in the zinc borate matrix. The results revealed that the ZBH/yNCDs composite with sphere-like morphology has the strongest white light emission at 395 nm excitation wavelength. Therefore, the ZBH/yNCDs composites may be used as phosphors in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) excitation white-light illumination field. The discovery of this work may also provide new inspirations for solving the self-quenching effect of carbon dots in the solid-state display applications.

A novel fluorescent probe for ascorbic acid based on seed-mediated growth of silver nanoparticles quenching of carbon dots fluorescence
摘要： A novel, economic, and eco-friendly method of detecting ascorbic acid (AA) with excellent sensitivity was developed. The method took advantage of the fluorescence of carbon quantum dots (CDs) decreasing as the AA concentration increased through interactions between AA and Ag(I) in the presence of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) seeds, producing more AgNPs and allowing fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the AgNPs and the CDs. The change in the fluorescence intensity when AA was added was proportional to the AA concentration over the range 0–9.0 μM. The AA detection limit was 0.2 μM. This approach is a new method for determining the concentration of AA.
