Graphene is a monolayer of tightly packed carbon atoms that possesses many interesting properties and has numerous exciting applications. In this work, we report the antibacterial activity two water-dispersible graphene derivatives, oxide (GO) reduced (rGO) nanosheets. Such graphene-based nanomaterials can effectively inhibit growth E. coli bacteria while showing minimal cytotoxicity. We have also demonstrated macroscopic freestanding GO rGO paper be conveniently fabricated from their...
Abstract Coupling nanomaterials with biomolecular recognition events represents a new direction in nanotechnology toward the development of novel molecular diagnostic tools. Here graphene oxide (GO)‐based multicolor fluorescent DNA nanoprobe that allows rapid, sensitive, and selective detection targets homogeneous solution by exploiting interactions between GO molecules is reported. Because extraordinarily high quenching efficiency GO, ssDNA probe exhibits minimal background fluorescence,...
A facile hydrothermal synthesis route to N and S, co-doped graphene quantum dots (GQDs) was developed by using citric acid as the C source urea or thiourea S sources. Both doped GQDs showed high yield (78% 71%), excitation independent under of 340–400 nm single exponential decay UV excitation. broad absorption band in visible region appeared due doping with sulfur, which alters surface state GQDs. However, show different color emission 420–520 their region. The excellent photocatalytic...
Chromium(VI) [Cr(VI)] is considered as a severe environmental pollutant, due to its highly toxic and carcinogenic properties. Therefore, low cost, sensitive sensors for the determination of Cr(VI) are demanded. It well-known that luminescent carbon dots (CDs) have been successfully applied fluorescent nanosensors pH, ions, molecular substances. In present work, we demonstrated an on-off CD probe detecting based on inner filter effect (IFE) because absorption bands Cr(IV) fully covered...
Designed oligonucleotides can self-assemble into DNA nanostructures with well-defined structures and uniform sizes, which provide unprecedented opportunities for biosensing, molecular imaging, drug delivery. In this work, we have developed functional, multivalent by appending unmethylated CpG motifs to three-dimensional tetrahedra. These small-sized functional are compact, mechanically stable, noncytotoxic. We demonstrated that resistant nuclease degradation remain substantially intact in...

Size and shape of nanoparticles are generally controlled by external influence factors such as reaction temperature, time, precursor, and/or surfactant concentration. Lack may eventually lead to unregulated growth possibly loss their nanoscale properties. Here we report a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-based self-catalyzed self-limiting system that exploits the glucose oxidase-like catalytic activity AuNPs. We find AuNP-catalyzed oxidation in situ produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induces AuNPs'...
N−F−codoped TiO2 (NFT) powders, prepared by spray pyrolysis (SP), were further characterized ultraviolet−visible (UV−Vis) absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The UV−Vis spectra indicated that the NFT powders could absorb not only ultraviolet light like pure powder but also part of visible-light spectrum (λ < 550 nm). PL provided confirmation four electronic energy states exist between valence band conduction attributed to F center, F+ an origin-unidentified state,...
A fluorescence sensor for Ag(I) ions is developed based on the target-induced conformational change of a silver-specific cytosine-rich oligonucleotide (SSO) and interactions between fluorogenic SSO probe graphene oxide.
We report a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of Hg2+ ions in aqueous solution by using thymine (T)-rich, mercury-specific oligonucleotide (MSO) probe and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)-based signal amplification. The MSO contains seven bases at both ends "mute" spacer middle, which, presence Hg2+, forms hairpin structure via Hg2+-mediated coordination T−Hg2+−T base pairs. thiolated is immobilized on Au electrodes to capture free media, MSO-bound can be electrochemically...
Carbon dots that exhibit near-infrared fluorescence (NIR CDs) are considered emerging nanomaterials for advanced biomedical applications with low toxicity and superior photostability targeting compared to currently used photoluminescence agents. Despite progress in the synthesis of NIR CDs, there remains a key obstacle using them as an vivo theranostic agent. This work demonstrates newly developed sulfur nitrogen codoped CDs highly efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) mouse models...
DNA hybridization can finely regulate the intrinsic glucose oxidase like catalytic activity of AuNPs owing to marked difference in adsorption single- and double-stranded on its surface. A sensing strategy for microRNA is presented; a different approach, this DNA-regulated AuNP catalysis was coupled with AuNP-mediated seed growth, which monitored real time at single-nanoparticle level.

First-principles density functional theory incorporating the LDA + U formalism has been used to investigate origin of photocatalytic activation Ag3PO4. The approach provides an improved band gap and position valence if both Up Ud are used. Through examining energy structure states, we can understand why Ag3PO4 is a promising photocatalyst for oxidizing water as well degrading organic contaminants. results show that large dispersion conduction inductive effect PO43−, which help separation...
