“…30 Zwitterionic and polyfunctional AAs can be variously charged depending on pH and equipped with hydrophilic (hydroxy −OH or mercapto −SH groups) or hydrophobic (aliphatic and/or aromatic) moieties, which, in turn, provides tunability of the optical properties of CQDs. 31,32 Here, we propose a facile and sustainable one-step hydrothermal synthesis of CQDs from various AAs (hydrophilic, hydrophobic, aromatic, and aliphatic) and citric acid (CA) as the precursors of the core and shell, respectively. Our method covers a fully controlled four-stage synthesis, that is, dehydration, polymerization, passivation, and carbonization.…”

Carbon Quantum Dots from Amino Acids Revisited: Survey of Renewable Precursors toward High Quantum-Yield Blue and Green Fluorescence

et al. 2022

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized via a green, one-step hydrothermal method. As CQD precursors, nine amino acids of different structural descriptors (negatively/positively charged in water, polar, hydrophobic, sulfur-containing, and other/complex ones) were surveyed: Asp, Cys, Gly, His, Leu, Lys, Phe, Pro, and Ser. The reactions were performed in an autoclave in the presence of citric acid at 180 °C for 24 h and yielded core–shell CQDs. CQDs were comprehensively characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Raman, UV/Vis, infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. At the excitation wavelength of λex = 350 nm, Cys-, Phe-, Leu-, and Lys-based CQDs displayed the highest quantum yield blue fluorescence90 ± 5, 90 ± 4, 87 ± 5, and 67 ± 3%, respectivelysuperior to the conventional fluorescent dyes. Strikingly, for Lys- and Phe-CQDs, dissimilar trends in the excitation–emission wavelength relationships were identified, that is, constantly strong red shifts versus excitation wavelength-independent emission. Cys- and Lys-CQDs were water-dispersible toward the narrow unimodal distribution of hydrodynamic diameters0.6 and 2.5 nm, respectively. Additionally, Lys- and Cys-CQDs, with high absolute zeta potential values, formed stable aqueous colloids in a broad range of pH (2, 7, and 12). The results constitute important premises for water-based applications of CQDs, such as bioimaging or photocatalysis.

Comprehensive SummaryWith the rapid development in the field of biomedical diagnosis and treatment, carbon dots (CDs) with favorable photostability, biocompatibility and high quantum yields for deep‐red to near‐infrared emission have attracted the attention of a majority of researchers. By enlarging the sp2 domain in the core of CDs, doping them with heteroatoms like nitrogen and sulfur, applying hydrothermal, electrochemical, or microwave‐assisted techniques, CDs can be made with the aforementioned photoemission capabilities. In view of these excellent properties, CDs are flourishing in biosensing and biomedical applications, so that a thorough description and discussion of this topic is beneficial to capture the up‐to‐date progress of CDs in this field, providing suggestions and considerations for readers.
