Preparation of water dispersible carbon dots from inexpensive natural carbon precursors and its application for purposes such as sensing, bio-imaging, patterning agent etc. is showing growing interest in recent years....
Highly fluorescent N-dots are rationally designed and synthesized through microwave-assisted reaction of 2-azidoimidazole with glycerol crosslinker and are employed as an effective chemosensor for Ag+ analysis via the static quenching effect.
Graphical AbstractBrief description of the procedures carried out in this study. In vivo and in vitro antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) studies, where aPDT mediated by C-DOTS and blue LED light against S. aureus was evaluated.
