Insight into the Excitation-Dependent Fluorescence of Carbon Dots

High quantum yield, photoluminescence tunability, and sensitivity to the environment are a few distinct trademarks that make carbon nanodots (CDs) interesting for fundamental research, with potential to replace the prevalent inorganic semiconductor quantum dots. Currently, application and fundamental understanding of CDs are constrained because it is difficult to make a quantitative comparison among different types of CDs simply because their photoluminescence properties are directly linked to their size distribution, the surface functionalization, the carbon core structures (graphitic or amorphous) and the number of defects. Herein, we report a facile one-step synthesis of mono-dispersed and highly fluorescent nanometre size CDs from a ‘family’ of glucose-based sugars. These CDs are stable in aqueous solutions with photoluminescence in the visible range. Our results show several common features in the family of CDs synthesized in that the fluorescence, in the visible region, is due to a weak absorption in the 300–400 nm from a heterogeneous population of fluorophores. Fluorescence quenching experiments suggest the existence of not only surface-exposed fluorophores but more importantly solvent inaccessible fluorophores present within the core of CDs. Interestingly, time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy experiments directly suggest that a fast exchange of excitation energy occurs that results in a homo-FRET based depolarization within 150 ps of excitation.

Photoactivated Fluorescence Enhancement in F,N‐Doped Carbon Dots with Piezochromic Behavior

Photoactivation in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) on UV/Vis light exposure improves photoluminescence (PL) and photostability. However, it was not observed in fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CDs). Now, photoactivated fluorescence enhancement in fluorine and nitrogen co‐doped carbon dots (F,N‐doped CDs) is presented. At 1.0 atm, the fluorescence intensity of F,N‐doped CDs increases with UV light irradiation (5 s–30 min), accompanied with a blue‐shift of the fluorescence emission from 586 nm to 550 nm. F,N‐doped CDs exhibit photoactivated fluorescence enhancement when exposed to UV under high pressure (0.1 GPa). F,N‐doped CDs show reversible piezochromic behavior while applying increasing pressure (1.0 atm to 9.98 GPa), showing a pressure‐triggered aggregation‐induced emission in the range 1.0 atm–0.65 GPa. The photoactivated CDs with piezochromic fluorescence enhancement broadens the versatility of CDs from ambient to high‐pressure conditions and enhances their anti‐photobleaching.

Construction of Co,N-Coordinated Carbon Dots for Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction

For the sake of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic performance, carbon dots (CDs) doped with metal atoms have accelerated their local electron flow for the past few years. However, the influence of CDs doped with metal atoms on binding sites and formation mechanisms is still uncertain. Herein, Co,N-doped CDs were facilely prepared by the low-temperature polymerization–solvent extraction strategy from EDTA-Co. The influence of Co doping on the catalytic performance of Co-CDs was explored, mainly in the following aspects: first, the pyridinic N atom content of Co-CDs significantly increased from 4.2 to 11.27 at% compared with the CDs, which indicates that the Co element in the precursor is advantageous in forming more pyridinic-N-active sites for boosting the ORR performance. Second, Co-CDs are uniformly distributed on the surface of carbon black (CB) to form Co-CDs@CB by the facile hydrothermal route, which can expose more active sites than the aggregation status. Third, the highest graphite N content of Co-CDs@CB was found, by limiting the current density of the catalyst towards the ORR. Composite nanomaterials formed by Co and CB are also used as air electrodes to manufacture high-performance zinc–air batteries. The battery has good cycle stability and realizes stable charges and discharges under different current densities. The outstanding catalytic activity of Co-CDs@CB is attributed to the Co,N synergistic effect induced by Co doping, which pioneer a new metal doping mechanism for gaining high-performance electrocatalysts.     

Rapid and Large‐Scale Production of Multi‐Fluorescence Carbon Dots by a Magnetic Hyperthermia Method

The intrinsic low yield of carbon dots (CDs) is a barrier that limits practical application. Now, a magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) method is used to synthesize fluorescent CDs on a large scale (up to 85 g) in one hour (yield ca. 60 %). The reaction process is intensified by MHT since the efficient heating system enhances the energy transfer. CDs with blue, green, and yellow luminescence are synthesized by using carbamide and citrate with three different cations (Zn²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺), respectively. The CDs exhibit bright fluorescence under UV light and show excellent monodispersity and solubility in water. The alternation of photoluminescence (PL) emissions of these CDs is probably due to the difference in particle sizes and surface state. A bar coating technique is used to construct large‐area emissive polymer/CDs films. CDs can insert themselves into the polymer chains by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Wound healing efficiency can be enhanced by the Zn‐CDs/PCL nanofibrous scaffold.     

Selective Probing of Gaseous Ammonia Using Red‐Emitting Carbon Dots Based on an Interfacial Response Mechanism

Solid‐state fluorescence sensing is one of the most appealing detection techniques because of its simplicity and convenience in practical operation. Herein, we report the development of a red‐emitting carbon dots (RCDs)‐based material as a solid‐state fluorescence sensor for the selective probing of gaseous ammonia. The RCDs were prepared by a low‐cost, one‐step carbonization method using sugar cane bagasse as the carbon precursor. The pristine RCDs were then directly coated on polyvinylidene fluoride membrane to produce a new fluorescence sensor capable of selectively distinguishing toxic gaseous ammonia from other analyte vapors through sensitive fluorescence quenching with a low detection limit. More importantly, the interfacial response mechanism occurring on the surface of the RCDs has been studied by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman measurements. The results indicate that fluorescence quenching in the RCDs might result from ammonia‐induced Michael addition through insertion of N into the C?C group and deprotonation of the carboxyl group. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that provides clear insight into the mechanism of surface chemistry on CDs in the solid state.     

Applications of Carbon Dots for the Photocatalytic and Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO2

The photocatalytic and electrocatalytic conversion of CO₂ has the potential to provide valuable products, such as chemicals or fuels of interest, at low cost while maintaining a circular carbon cycle. In this context, carbon dots possess optical and electrochemical properties that make them suitable candidates to participate in the reaction, either as a single component or forming part of more elaborate catalytic systems. In this review, we describe several strategies where the carbon dots participate, both with amorphous and graphitic structures, in the photocatalysis or electrochemical catalysis of CO₂ to provide different carbon-containing products of interest. The role of the carbon dots is analyzed as a function of their redox and light absorption characteristics and their complementarity with other known catalytic systems. Moreover, detailed information about synthetic procedures is also reviewed.

Fabrication of a Ratiometric Fluorescence Sensor Based on Carbon Dots as Both Luminophores and Nanozymes for the Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide

The construction of novel fluorescent nanozymes is highly desirable for providing new strategies for nanozyme-based sensing systems. Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform was constructed based on carbon dots (CDs) as both luminophores and nanozymes, which could realize the sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). CDs with peroxidase-mimicking activity were prepared with a one-step hydrothermal method using L-histidine as an inexpensive precursor. CDs had bright blue fluorescence. Due to the pseudo-peroxidase activity, CDs catalyzed the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) with H₂O₂ to generate 2,3-diaminophenolazine (DAP). The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CDs and DAP resulted in a decrease in the fluorescence of CDs and an increase in the fluorescence of DAP, leading to a ratiometric fluorescence system. The free radical trapping experiment was used to investigate the reactive oxygen radicals (ROS) in the catalytic process of CD nanozymes. The enzymatic parameters of CD nanozymes, including the Michaelis constant (K_m) and the maximum initial reaction velocities (V_max), were investigated. A good affinity for both OPD and H₂O₂ substrates was proven. Based on the FRET between CDs and OPD, a ratiometric fluorescence analysis of H₂O₂ was achieved and results ranged from 1 to 20 μM and 20 to 200 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD, 0.42 μM). The detection of H₂O₂ in milk was also achieved.
