“Vigna radiata” based green C-dots: Photo-triggered theranostics, fluorescent sensor for extracellular and intracellular iron (III) and multicolor live cell imaging probe

Singlet Oxygen Photosensitization Using Graphene-Based Structures and Immobilized Dyes: A Review

“…In addition, several water-soluble nitrogen-doped CDs (N-CDs) with excellent 1 O 2 sensitization were prepared as an oxidase-mimicking nanozyme to confirm the correlation between their phosphorescence quantum yields and photo-oxidation activity applicable for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (Figure a) . Nitrogen-doped CDs with an 1 O 2 quantum yield of 0.41 applicable in PDT were also prepared by using ethylenediamine and Vigna radiata sprouts as the nitrogen and carbon precursors, respectively . Fluorine doped GQDs (F-GQDs) with 2.1 nm average particle size, 1.43% fluorine content, and an enhanced 1 O 2 quantum yield of 0.49 were used for visible light fluorescence imaging and 1 O 2 sensitization for PDT …”

“…158 O 2 quantum yield of 0.41 applicable in PDT were also prepared by using ethylenediamine and Vigna radiata sprouts as the nitrogen and carbon precursors, respectively. 159 Fluorine doped GQDs (F-GQDs) with 2.1 nm average particle size, 1.43% fluorine content, and an enhanced 1 O 2 quantum yield of 0.49 were used for visible light fluorescence imaging and 1 O 2 sensitization for PDT. 160 3.2.3.…”

One-step synthesis of red-emitting carbon dots via a solvothermal method and its application in the detection of methylene blue

“…2 In recent years, the long-wavelength emitting CDs have been the focus of researchers because of their promising potential in cell imaging, [3][4][5] in vivo imaging, 6,7 and in vivo labeling and diagnosis. 8,9 The reports and papers on green, yellow and orange emitting CDs [10][11][12] have been widely seen in published journals, but the ones on red-emitting CDs 13 are relatively scarce.…”

Recent advances and prospects of carbon dots in cancer nanotheranostics

“…Mobin and coworkers prepared nitrogen-doped CDs (N@VRCDs) by using ethylenediamine as a nitrogen source and Vigna radiata sprouts as a sole carbon precursor. 127 N@VRCDs also exhibits remarkable light-induced cytotoxicity to cancer cells at an 1 O 2 QY of 0.41. Thus, they may be used as a potential theranostic agent.…”
