Synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon nanostructures from polyurethane sponge for bioimaging and catalysis.
A facile and environmentally friendly method was developed for the fabrication of N-doped carbon nanomaterials by hydrothermal treatment using polyurethane (PU) sponge as a carbon source. We have demonstrated that the hydrothermal decomposition of PU sponge involves top-down hydrolysis and bottom-up polymerization processes for the synthesis of N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs). Fluorescence spectros...
متن کاملFacile synthesis of water-soluble and biocompatible fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots for cell imaging.
A simple, facile and green hydrothermal method was developed in the synthesis of water-soluble nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) from streptomycin. The as-prepared N-CDs displayed bright blue fluorescence under the irradiation of UV light, together with a high quantum yield of 7.6% and good biocompatibility as demonstrated by the cell viability assay. Thus, the N-CDs can be used as fluorescent...
متن کاملNitrogen-doped carbon dots with excitation-independent long-wavelength emission produced by a room-temperature reaction.
Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) have been produced by a new facile "bottom-up" synthesis, using the room-temperature reaction between acetonitrile and sodium-naphthalene. The obtained hydrophobic CDs are monodisperse (∼2.6 nm) and present an excitation-independent emission at ∼588 nm with a small full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ∼52 nm. The CDs can be simply modified to be hydrosoluble and...
متن کاملLighting up left-handed Z-DNA: photoluminescent carbon dots induce DNA B to Z transition and perform DNA logic operations
Left-handed Z-DNA has been identified as a transient structure occurred during transcription. DNA B-Z transition has attracted much attention because of not only Z-DNA biological importance but also their relation to disease and DNA nanotechnology. Recently, photoluminescent carbon dots, especially highly luminescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots, have attracted much attention on their application...
متن کاملThe potentiality of the functionalized nitrogen and thiol-doped graphene quantum dots (GQDs-N-S) to stabilize the antibodies in the designing of human chorionic gonadotropin immunosensor
In this study, for the first time, a simple immunosensor for ultrasensitive recognition of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in serum samples was fabricated by exploiting a simple approach. In this method, a low-cost and sensitive immunosensor was fabricated based on QDs-N-S/Au nanoparticles (NPs) modified Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE). It seems that, QDs-N-S/Au NPs/ antibody as a bio...
