Abstract
Carbon dots have gained tremendous attention for applications in the biomedical field as they exhibit excellent biocompatibility, higher brightness, lower toxicity, and superior photostability. These promising carbon nanomaterials have found their application in the biomedical field, such as the detection of ions and organic compounds, drug delivery, and cell imaging. Carbon dots are usually prepared from any materials that contain mainly carbon, such as small molecule organic compounds and biomass/agricultural by-products. In efforts to minimize environmental pollution and to promote the sustainable and green synthesis of carbon dots, biomass, and agricultural wastes/by-products have been utilized and valorized to produce biocompatible and functional carbon dots materials. However, most of the carbon dots prepared from biomass and agricultural wastes/by-products have relatively poor fluorescence properties such as low fluorescence intensity and low quantum yield. In efforts to promote sustainability and a green approach to preparing nanomaterials, this study has developed carbon dots from waste Pili nutshells doped with group 5A elements, particularly N, P, and never-been-used As through facile hydrothermal method producing undoped, N-doped, P-doped, N/P-doped and As-doped carbon dots. The synthesized doped carbon dots have sizes less than 10 nm. The structure of carbon dots has exhibited (100), (102), and (002) lattice planes consistent with the graphitic structure of carbon dots with the measured lattice spacing of 0.336 nm for undoped carbon dots and a reduced lattice spacing of 0.323 nm, 0.324 nm, 0.326 nm, and 0.330 nm for N-doped, P-doped, N/P-doped and As-doped carbon dots, respectively. Various analytical techniques such as EDS, FTIR, UV-vis, and Zeta potential measurement have confirmed the successful doping of N, P, and As in carbon dots structure. The fluorescence scan of undoped carbon dots and doped carbon dots shows an emission wavelength of λem = 450 nm and an excitation wavelength of λem = 330- 8 350 nm. The quantum yield of undoped carbon dots is 1.66%, while the quantum yields of N-doped, P-doped, N/P-doped, and As-doped carbon dots are 4.04%, 4.03%, 3.72%, and 3.13%, respectively, showing the quantum yield enhancement of carbon dots through doping with N, P, and As. Biocompatibility investigation of doped carbon dots through PrestoBlue assay shows that undoped, N-doped, P-doped, N/P-doped, and As-doped carbon dots show low cytotoxicity with Vero cells and MCF-7 cells, indicating the good biocompatibility of doped carbon dots with normal and cancer cell lines. The prepared carbon dots were used as fluorescent probes for the cell imaging
