Article Abstract
As a new type of zero-dimensional nanomaterial, carbon dots are widely applied in various fields. However, most of the carbon dots have aggregation fluorescence quenching properties, which limited their practical applications. In this study, a novel sulfur-doped carbon dots (S-CDs) was prepared by solvothermal method. The properties of the S-CDs in ethanol solution and in solid state were investigated respectively. The results showed that the S-CDs have an excited wavelength dependent emission of blue fluorescence in ethanol solution, and have orange fluorescence emission in solid state and composite films, indicating the prepared S-CDs has aggregation-induced emission (AIE) performance. The main reason was that the presence of S-S bonds and the intramolecular rotation of aromatic rings were limited in solid state, resulting in its emission of orange fluorescence. Furthermore, the S-CDs could be applied to identify fingerprints, anti-counterfeiting.

Background: Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)), a notorious toxic heavy metal pollutant with proven carcinogenicity, endangers human health and the environment. Meanwhile, l-ascorbic acid (L-AA), a vital biological antioxidant, has abnormal levels closely tied to various diseases. Developing efficient synchronous detection methods for these two key analytes is of great value in clinical and environmental monitoring.

A new variety of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) was produced using a hydrothermal synthesis method, based on propanedioic acid and barbituric acid as the sources of carbon and nitrogen. The NCDs were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Zeta Potential，X-ray Diffraction(XRD)，Thermogravimetry-Derivative Thermogravimetry(TG-DTG)，Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Fluorescence Lifetime. The characterization results indicate that NCDs possess an average diameter of approximately 2.

A versatile fluorescent molecularly imprinted nanosensor (MIPs@O-CDs) for profiling ciprofloxacin (CIP) was innovatively developed using a controllable post-imprinting modification strategy. High-affinity molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as recognition elements granted nanosensor favorable anti-interference. Bright orange-emission carbon dots (O-CDs) as signal transducers demonstrated prominent reverse fluorescence response to CIP due to inner filter effect, ameliorating detection sensitivity and accuracy.

The development of multifunctional nanoplatforms capable of drug delivery and real-time cellular imaging remains a key challenge in cancer theranostics. Herein, we report the development of a casein-protected maleic acid-derived nitrogen-doped carbon dot-based luminescent nanoplatform (MNCD@Cas NPs) for efficient delivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) to triple-negative breast cancer cells. Synthesized via a facile two-step method, the MNCD@Cas NPs exhibit bright blue fluorescence (λ = 390 nm), high water dispersibility, excellent colloidal stability, and substantial DOX loading capacity (∼84%) driven by electrostatic interactions.
