Underlying Mechanisms

Carbon dots (or carbon quantum dots) are small (less than 10 nm) and luminescent carbon nanoparticles with some form of surface passivation. As an emerging class of nanomaterials, carbon dots have found wide applications in medicine, bioimaging, sensing, electronic devices, and catalysis. In this review, we focus on the recent advancements of carbon dots for sensing and killing microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Synthesis, functionalization, and a toxicity profile of these carbon dots are presented. We also discuss the underlying mechanisms of carbon dot-based sensing and killing of microorganisms.

In this work, carbon quantum dots (C-dots) was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal treatment using dried leaves as green precursor for metal sensing. The performance of C-dots when detecting metal ions in water will be evaluated by testing with different types of metal stock solutions. Quenching effect of fluorescence C-dots solution was observed in the presence of different metal ions. C-dots is more selective towards Fe3+ compared to other metal ions.

The article reports a simple, economic, and green method for preparing water-soluble, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots via a one-step hydrothermal method. Pomegranate juice served as the carbon source, and the L-cysteine provided nitrogen and sulfur. Co-doped carbon dots were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques. The co-doped carbon dots served as fluorescent probes for sensitive and selective detection of cephalexin. Briefly, the co-doped carbon dot systems showed quenching of photoluminescence intensity in the presence of cephalexin. The decrease of fluorescence intensity made it possible to analyze cephalexin with satisfactory detection limits and linear ranges. The Sterne–Volmer plot showed a linear relationship (R2 = 0.998) between F0/F and the concentration of cephalexin over the range from 0.3 to 10 μmol L−1. The limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 1 × 10−7 mol L−1 (at a signal to noise ratio of 3). To validate the applicability, the described method was successfully applied for the detection of cephalexin in human urine and raw milk samples.
