2. INTRODUCTION The investigation of many fundamental processes in life sciences
requires straightforward tools for fast, sensitive, reliable, and reproducible detection of …

Nanoparticles are promising scaffolds for applications such as imaging, chemical sensors
and biosensors, diagnostics, drug delivery, catalysis, energy, photonics, medicine, and …

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs, C-dots or CDs), which are generally small carbon
nanoparticles (less than 10 nm in size) with various unique properties, have found wide use …

Two types of carbon dots (C dots) exhibiting respective excitation-independent blue
emission and excitation-dependent full-color emissions have been synthesized via a mild …

In the present work, a completely green synthetic method for producing fluorescent nitrogen-
doped carbon dots by using milk is introduced. The process is environmentally friendly …

Nanosized fluorescent carbon particles, namely, carbon dots (CDs), are a kind of fluorescent
material that has drawn increasing attention in recent years. CDs have size-, surface …

Herein, a novel fluorescence sensor based on g-C3N4 nanosheet–MnO2 sandwich
nanocomposite has been developed for rapid and selective sensing of glutathione (GSH) in …

A one-step microwave-assisted polyol method was developed to fabricate green
luminescent carbon dots (CDs). By using sucrose as the carbon source and diethylene …

Carbon dots (or carbon quantum dots in some literature reports), generally small carbon
nanoparticles with various surface passivation effects, have attracted widespread attention …

We present a simple molecular approach to control the lipophilic/hydrophilic nature of
photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) based on pyrolysis of alkyl gallate precursors …
