Novel carbon dots for zinc sensing from Campomanesia phaea

The structural characteristics and mechanisms of antimicrobial carbon dots: a mini review

“…Especially since the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2019, more researchers have begun to focus on the study of CDs resistance to novel Coronavirus, and six relevant review papers have been published. [97][98][99][100][101][102] We summarized 1), in order to provide a reference for future research on antiviral CDs. Barras et al prepared boronic acid-and amine-functionalized CDs with phenylboronic acid derivatives as precursors.…”

Optical properties of carbon dots derived from table sugar via gamma irradiation

“…CDs also are sensitive to physical and chemical environment changes on their surfaces [1][2][3]. Therefore, CDs are widely applied as chemical sensors for metal ion detections (mercury, zinc and iron) [13][14][15] and biological sensors (hydrogen sulfide, free radicals, proteins and hormones) [16,17]. Furthermore, the surface chemical properties of CDs can be functionalized for specific applications via simple chemical reactions [18].…”
