Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Reveals Molecular Species in Carbon Nanodot Samples Disclosing Flaws

Beatrice Bartolomei et al.

Summary: Carbon nanodots are a hot topic in nanomaterials due to their accessible synthesis. However, purification is still critical, especially for syntheses involving molecular precursors. Nuclear magnetic resonance is an effective tool in identifying molecular species, and its inclusion as a standard characterization technique for carbon-based nanomaterials is crucial to minimize the risk of observing properties arising from molecular species.

A multifunctional chemical toolbox to engineer carbon dots for biomedical and energy applications

Luka Dordevic et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the importance of photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles, or carbon dots, for biomedical and energy applications. These nanomaterials exhibit tunable light emission, dispersibility, and low toxicity, making them highly attractive for various purposes. The review discusses how chemical tools can impact the properties of carbon dots and presents synthetic strategies for functionalizing these nanomaterials. Examples are provided to illustrate the correlation between structure, composition, and function, offering insights into the future development of carbon dots.

Gadolinium doped red-emissive carbon dots as targeted theranostic agents for fluorescence and MR imaging guided cancer phototherapy

Min Jiao et al.

Summary: This study describes a multifunctional carbon dots (CDs) nanoplatform for cancer treatment, which integrates fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and photothermal therapy (PTT). By surface modification and doping with gadolinium, the synthesized CDs exhibit strong fluorescence emission, significant MRI contrast, and efficient photothermal conversion. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate the excellent performance of these CDs in tumor-specific imaging and photothermal therapy under the guidance of fluorescence and MRI.

Well-separated water-soluble carbon dots via gradient chromatography

Vanessa Michaud et al.

Summary: Carbon dots (CDs) are highly fluorescent materials used in bioimaging, sensors, and luminescent displays. This study successfully separated all components of CDs by two-step gradient chromatography, showing that amorphous and crystalline CDs coexist in the same suspension. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to further improve purification efficiency and automate the process, achieving separation of up to six components.
