“…They can be easily synthesized via several approaches, such as pyrolysis, hydrothermal treatment, and microwave irradiation, using natural or waste precursors, for example, cranberry beans [16], lemon juice [17], and food waste [18]. These nanomaterials provide interesting and multifunctional applications, such as chemical [19] and biological sensing [20], drug delivery [21], photocatalysis [22], and electrocatalysis [23]. In this work, jackfruit seeds were used as precursors to synthesize carbon dots due to their high organic carbon contents.…”

The preparation of carbon dots from jackfruit seeds through a pyrolysis method at 280℃ and their use for the detection of formaldehyde were reported. The as-prepared carbon dots showed a high fluorescence efficiency with a quantum yield of 12.7% and excellent photostability and dispersibility in aqueous solution with a zeta potential of ‒62.5 mV. The integration of carbon dot thin film and a home-made optical electronic nose system possessed sensitivity towards formaldehyde vapor with a detection limit of 24.7%v/v across a linear range of 25%v/v to 100%v/v. Furthermore, the sensor showed the highest sensitivity towards formaldehyde against other volatile organic compounds through a strong interaction between the carbonyl groups and the carbon dots. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to achieve quantitative measurements of formaldehyde content in different formaldehyde volume ratios with substantial variance. Due to the significance of methanol as a typical chemical precursor for the industrial manufacturing of formaldehyde, the quantitative analytical method is essential to determining formaldehyde or methanol concentration. The sensing ability of carbon dot film-integrated electronic nose towards formaldehyde in formaldehyde/methanol mixtures was measured to be 10.74%v/v in a linear range of 25%v/v to 100%v/v. The PCA showed orderly linear combinations of the data set, which can be potentially utilized to analyze formaldehyde and methanol content in industrial processes. The results indicate the significant potential of carbon dots and optical electronic nose system as an effective formaldehyde sensing platform. Potential applications include the quantification of formaldehyde from methanol conversion and determination of methanol contaminant in formaldehyde.
