Environmentally sustainable synthesis of whey-based carbon dots for ferric ion detection in human serum and water samples: evaluating the greenness of the method

Abstract

Carbon dots (CDs) are valued for their biocompatibility, easy fabrication, and distinct optical characteristics.

Carbon dot as fluorescence sensor for glutathione in human serum samples: a review

“…This leads to a shorter fluorescent lifetime while leaving the absorption spectrum unchanged. 33,34 As shown in Fig. 3B.…”

“…Ultimately, the additional electron present on the acceptor is restored to the electron donor to complete the process. [31][32][33]35 As shown in Fig. 3C.…”

“…[28][29][30][31] CDs represent a novel category of carbon nanomaterials endowed with fascinating optical and photophysical characteristics. [32][33][34][35] The chemical characteristics of CDs, especially in the domains of analyte sensing. [36][37][38] CDs stand out as preferred sensing probes due to their distinctive features, including their small size, solubility, tunable photoluminescence, nonblinking fluorescence, and biocompatibility.…”
