An environmentally-friendly, selective and rapid turn off-on fluorescent probe for both copper
(Cu 2+) and etidronate disodium (ETD) detection was derived from nitrogen/sulfur co-doping …

Abstract Here, Carbon dots (CDs) were fabricated through a simple one-step hydrothermal
treatment of N-aminoethylpiperazine (AEP) and citric acid (CA). The as-prepared CDs have …

A new fluorescent sensor for the sensitive and selective detection of cyanide (CN−) in
aqueous media was developed herein. The sensing approach is based on CN−-modulated …

A nitrogen and sulphur co-doped carbon dot (NSCD) based highly selective
photoluminescent probe for mercury detection has been designed. The NSCDs with a PL …

In this work, we have developed a green, simple and fast one-pot microwave-assisted
strategy for synthesis of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) using …

A simple method was designed for detecting cobalt ions (Co2+) based on the analyte-
induced fluorescence quenching of carbon dots (CDs). CDs with a quantum yield of 38.7 …

Carbon dots (CDs) comprise a recently discovered class of strongly fluorescent, emission-
color-tuning and non-blinking nanoparticles with great analytical and bioanalytical potential …

Carbon nanodots (C-Dots) have attracted much attention in recent years due to their low
cost, ready scalability, excellent chemical stability, biocompatibility and multicolor …

Water-soluble luminescent CdS quantum dots (QDs) capped by polyphosphate, l-cysteine,
and thioglycerol were synthesized in aqueous solution. The ligands were found to have a …

Herein, a convenient on-off fluorescent probe was developed to detect iron ion (Fe 3+) with
sensitivity and selectivity by using highly luminescent ionic liquid-functionalized carbon …
