The carbon/TiO2 hybrid dots (C/TiO2-Dots) are structurally TiO2 nanoparticles (in the order of 25 nm in diameter from commercially available colloidal samples) surface-attached by nanoscale carbon domains with organic moieties, thus equivalent to hybrids individual each decorated many dots. These exposure visible light exhibit potent antibacterial properties, similar those found neat same activ...

Anodic near-infrared electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from CdTe quantum dots was achieved at low potential on a glass carbon electrode and a strategy for greatly enhanced band-gap ECL was presented.

A new FRET model using near-infrared quantum-dots (NIR-QDs) and oxidized carbon nanoparticles (OCNPs) as the energy donor and acceptor was constructed and designed for insulin detection in complex human plasma.

Highly PL carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were successfully prepared from C60 by introducing CTAB and H2O2 in aqueous NaOH under hydrothermal conditions. The CQDs displayed a nanoparticle aggregation-induced emission enhancement (NP-AIEE).

A sensitive turn-on fluorescent sensor based on single-layer MnO2 nanosheet-quenched fluorescent carbon quantum dots has been developed for rapid and selective sensing of glutathione in aqueous solutions, as well as in living cells.

Eu3+-modified carbon dots (C-dots), 3-5 nm in diameter, were prepared, functionalized, and stabilized via a one-pot polyol synthesis. The role of Eu2+/Eu3+, the influence of O₂ (oxidation) and H₂O (hydrolysis), as well as the impact of the heating procedure (conventional resistance heating and microwave (MW) heating) were explored. With the reducing conditions of the polyol at the elevated temp...

Fluorescent B-doped carbon quantum dots (BCQDs) were prepared by a facile one-pot solvothermal route. The BCQDs can be used as a novel fluorescence sensing system for hydrogen peroxide and glucose detection.

We report resonant multiple Andreev reflections in a multiwall carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to superconducting leads. The position and magnitude of the subharmonic gap structure is found to depend strongly on the level positions of the single-electron states which are adjusted with a gate electrode. We discuss a theoretical model of the device and compare the calculated differential cond...
