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.
CIS/ZnS QDs were synthesized by microwave irradiation in air. The fabricated QDs/PMMA composite films were first applied to Si solar cells to improve the conversion efficiency by 3.8%.
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.
