Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are carbon-based nanomaterials that have garnered immense interest due to their exceptional photophysical and optoelectronic properties. They have been employed extensively for biomedical imaging and phototherapy due to their superb water dispersibility, low toxicity, outstanding biocompatibility, and exceptional tissue permeability. This review summarizes the luminescence mechanism of CDs. The modification in CDs via various doping routes is comprehensively reviewed, and the effect of such alterations on their photophysical properties, such as photoluminescence (PL), absorbance, and reactive oxygen species generation ability, is also highlighted. This review also aims to summarize the role of CDs in cellular imaging and fluorescence lifetime imaging for cellular metabolism. Subsequently, recent advancements and the future prospects of CDs as nanotheranostic agents have been discussed. Herein, we have discussed the role of CDs in photothermal, photodynamic, and synergistic therapy of anticancer, antiviral, and antibacterial applications. The overall summary of the review highlights the future prospects of CD-based research in bioimaging and biomedicine.
碳点(CD)是一种碳基纳米材料,因其卓越的光物理和光电特性而备受关注。由于其极佳的水分散性、低毒性、出色的生物相容性和优异的组织渗透性,它们已被广泛用于生物医学成像和光疗。本综述总结了光盘的发光机理。全面综述了通过各种掺杂途径对光盘进行改性的情况,并重点介绍了这些改性对其光物理性质(如光致发光(PL)、吸光度和活性氧生成能力)的影响。本综述还旨在总结 CD 在细胞成像和细胞代谢荧光寿命成像中的作用。随后,还讨论了作为纳米otheranostic 剂的 CD 的最新进展和未来前景。在此,我们讨论了光盘在光热、光动力以及抗癌、抗病毒和抗菌应用的协同治疗中的作用。综述强调了基于光盘的生物成像和生物医学研究的未来前景。
