Multifunctional carbon dots have drawn considerable attention due to their potential biomedical application value. We report the preparation of blue-green fluorescence-emitting, multifunctional, nitrogen-and-sulfur co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) synthesized via a one-step process using 1-thioglycerol as a sulfur source, glucose and citric acid as carbon sources, and polyethyleneimine as a nitrogen source. Because of abundant amino and sulfur content, the CDs exhibited high sensibility and selectivity for detecting Cu2+ (detection limit: 0.01 μM, linear range: 0.025 to 50 μM). Fast and sensitive detection of tiopronin was also achieved on the basis of the fluorescence “off-on” mode considering the strong affinity between tiopronin and Cu2+. The N, S-CDs exhibited good biocompatibility as determined by fluorescence imaging using onion epidermal cells and gram-positive bacteria. The CDs also exhibited excellent antimicrobial ability against the gram-positive bacteria. Our results indicate that these novel N, S-CDs could be ideal candidates for several biochemical applications such as antibacterial treatment and detection of small biomolecules.

Herein, we have reported the synthesis of boron-, sulfur-, and nitrogen-co-doped carbon dots (B/S/N-CDs) by one-step hydrothermal method using D-([Formula: see text])-maltose monohydrate, boracic acid, and thiocarbamide as the precursors. The prepared B/S/N-CDs possess good water dispersibility, excellent pH stabilities, and resistance to photobleaching. Furthermore, the transmission electron microscope image indicates that the B/S/N-CDs are homogeneously spherical and show good dispersion. Noticeably, the B/S/N-CDs show bright blue photoluminescence with a quantum yield of 8.9% in aqueous solution and can be used as a potent photoluminescent probe for selective and sensitive detection of sunset yellow (SY). Compared with other food colors, SY can dramatically quench the fluorescence of B/S/N-CDs. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity displays a good linear response with SY concentration in the range of 0–70[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M ([Formula: see text]) and the detection limit is as low as 4.65[Formula: see text]nM. The B/S/N-CDs can also be applied for the detection of SY in mineral water and business drink with satisfactory recovery. Our study has demonstrated that the B/S/N-CDs may have wide application values in medical detection, environmental monitoring, and related researches.

Background: Morin has many pharmacological functions including antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. It is commonly used in the treatment of antiviral infection, gastropathy, coronary heart disease and hepatitis B in clinic. However, researches have shown that morin is likely to show prooxidative effects on the cells when the amount of treatment is at high dose, leading to the decrease of intracellular ATP levels and the increase of necrosis process. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the concentration of morin in biologic samples. Method: Novel water-soluble and green nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dots (NSCDs) were prepared by a microwave heating process with citric acid and L-cysteine. The fluorescence spectra were collected at an excitation wavelength of 350 nm when solutions of NSCDs were mixed with various concentrations of morin. Results: The as-prepared NSCDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of NSCDs decreased significantly with the increase of morin concentration. The fluorescence intensity of NSCDs displayed a linear response to morin in the concentration 0.10-30 μM with a low detection limit of 56 nM. The proposed fluorescent probe was applied to analysis of morin in human body fluids with recoveries of 98.0-102%. Conclusion: NSCDs were prepared by a microwave heating process. The present analytical method is sensitive to morin. The quenching process between NSCDs and morin is attributed to the static quenching. In addition, the cellular toxicity on HeLa cells indicated that the as-prepared NSCDs fluorescent probe does not show obvious cytotoxicity in cell imaging. Our proposed method possibly opens up a rapid and nontoxic way for preparing heteroatom doped carbon dots with a broad application prospect.
