Cationic quaternized carbon dots (QCDs) and anionic graphene oxide sheets (GO) are combined via non-covalent interactions following a self-assembly pathway to form highly biocompatible and fluorescent hybrid materials. These hybrids act as selective probes with controlled labelling of the cell nucleus or cytoplasm depending on the QCD loading.

Maomao Xie, Meng Gao, Yang Yun, Martin Malmsten, Vincent M. M. Rotello, Radek Zboril, Omid Akhavan, Aliaksandr Kraskouski, John Amalraj, Xiaoming Cai, Jianmei Lu, Huizhen Zheng, Ruibin Li

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to the environment and health, and antimicrobial nanomaterials are being explored as alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Some antimicrobial nanomaterials show AMR-independent antimicrobial effects, while others trigger the evolution of AMR. This review compares the mechanisms and relationships of antibiotics and antimicrobial nanomaterials, examines nano-microbe interactions, and provides an outlook on future antimicrobial nanomaterials.

Communication of molecular fluorophores with other photoluminescence centres in carbon dots

Michal Langer, Lukas Zdrazil, Miroslav Medved, Michal Otyepka

Summary: The establishment of structure-photoluminescence (PL) relationships in carbon dots (CDs) is still a challenge. The core, surface, and molecular states are the main sources of PL, but their interaction and effects on each other are not well understood. By performing TD-DFT calculations, researchers found that different structural arrangements support the communication between PL centers. This study provides insights for designing CDs with desired surface/core characteristics.

Olivier Henrotte, Eva Yazmin Santiago, Artur Movsesyan, Luca Mascaretti, Morteza Afshar, Alessandro Minguzzi, Alberto Vertova, Zhiming M. Wang, Radek Zboril, Stepan Kment, Alexander O. Govorov, Alberto Naldoni

Summary: The investigation of photocatalytic systems at the nanoscale is crucial for understanding their fundamental principles, improving their design, and enhancing their applicability. A photochemical nanoscopy technique has been developed to detect the molecular products of plasmonic hot-carrier-driven photocatalytic reactions with nanometric precision. Applying this methodology to Au/TiO2 plasmonic photocatalysts, it was discovered that smaller and denser Au nanoparticle arrays have lower optical contribution but higher quantum efficiency in hot-hole-driven photocatalysis, which is closely related to population heterogeneity. This study also revealed the areas of oxidation and reduction product evolution in a single plasmonic nanodiode, demonstrating the bipolar behavior of such nanosystems. These findings enable quantitative investigations at the nanoscale to evaluate the photocatalytic reactivity of low-dimensional materials in various chemical reactions.

Rabindranath Lo, Martin Pykal, Andreas Schneemann, Radek Zboril, Roland A. Fischer, Kolleboyina Jayaramulu, Michal Otyepka

Summary: Covalent hybrids of graphene and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great potential in various technologies, especially catalysis and energy applications, due to their combination of conductivity and porosity. The formation of an amide bond between carboxylate-functionalized graphene acid (GA) and amine-functionalized UiO-66-NH2 MOF is an efficient strategy for creating such hybrids. This study used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate the mechanism of amide bond formation between GA and UiO-66-NH2, highlighting the crucial role of zirconium within UiO-66 as a catalyst. Insight into the binding interactions between graphene derivatives and MOFs can lead to tailored synthesis strategies for these nanocomposite materials.

Carbon Dots Enabling Parts-Per-Billion Sensitive and Ultraselective Photoluminescence Lifetime-Based Sensing of Inorganic Mercury

Lukas Zdrazil, David Panacek, Veronika Sedajova, Zdenek Badura, Michal Langer, Miroslav Medved, Marketa Paloncyova, Magdalena Scheibe, Sergii Kalytchuk, Giorgio Zoppellaro, Stepan Kment, Alejandro Cadranel, Aristides Bakandritsos, Dirk M. Guldi, Michal Otyepka, Radek Zboril

Summary: One of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to ensure universal access to clean drinking water. Mercury (Hg) is considered to be one of the most dangerous water contaminants due to its immense toxicity and vast environmental impact. A nanosensor based on carbon dots (CDs) functionalized with carboxylic groups has been developed to monitor water quality, showing an ultrahigh sensitivity and selectivity in detecting Hg2+ concentration-dependent photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes. The selectivity is explained by significant perturbation of the CD photoexcited state upon Hg2+ binding, supported by light-induced electron paramagnetic resonance (LEPR) spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations.

Application of lamellar nickel hydroxide membrane as a tunable platform for ionic thermoelectric studies

Raktim Gogoi, Arnab Ghosh, Priyamjeet Deka, K. K. R. Datta, Kalyan Raidongia

Summary: Recent literature on thermoelectric materials has indicated that ionic thermoelectric (i-TE) materials are well-suited for directly converting low-quality waste heat into electricity. In this study, a unique platform for i-TE research was developed by stacking two-dimensional sheets of beta-Ni(OH)(2) using a bottom-up approach. The beta-Ni(OH)(2) lamellar membrane itself does not exhibit significant thermovoltages, but upon doping with anion-generating or cation-generating species, it demonstrates negative and positive Seebeck coefficient values, respectively. The doped i-TE materials were assembled into ionic thermopiles capable of producing thermovoltages up to 1 V at a temperature difference of 12 K. Furthermore, connecting the colder regions of the positive and negative i-TE materials with other ion-conducting membranes in the Ni-M-based nanofluidic systems allowed for additional electricity harvesting.

Reductive cyclodimerization of chalcones: exploring the self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrosynthesis

Mauro Garbini, Andrea Brunetti, Riccardo Pedrazzani, Magda Monari, Massimo Marcaccio, Giulio Bertuzzi, Marco Bandini

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
