Superelastic N-centered carbon quantum dots: Synthesis and characterization
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have highly promising properties for variety of applications as a new family member of carbon-based nanomaterials. In this paper, CQDs were synthetized by solvothermal method using nicotinamide as precursor. For the first time, we report on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) active CQDs with numerous unpaired N radicals at the edges of CQDs. Nanomechanical measurements revealed internal structure of CQDs that are more elastic than single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Electrostatic force microscopy showed average amount of electrons in CQDs core and positive charge at the edges. Polymer nanocomposites based on CQDs were not cytotoxic and hemolytic whereas antibacterial testing shown good antibacterial activity. Reactive oxygen species production measurements indicated that nanocomposites were highly potent generators of reactive oxygen species with singlet oxygen yield of 0.68 and promising materials for application in biomedicine.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
