Facile synthesis of highly emissive carbon dots from pyrolysis of glycerol; gram scale production of carbon dots/mSiO2 for cell imaging and drug release
Abstract
We report on a facile method to synthesize carbon dots (CDs) using glycerol solvent as a single precursor via a pyrolysis process free from catalysts. This method is extremely simple and economical, and provides a feasible route for mass production of highly emissive CDs. For rationalization, a mechanism incorporating dehydration of glycerol, followed by acrylaldehyde formation is tentatively proposed for CD production. Further systematic improvement of particle homogeneity is made by harnessing the growth of CDs inside the mesoporous silica nanoparticles that act as a nano-reactor to regulate the size distribution. Simultaneously capping a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-derived reactant onto the CDs@SiO2 enhances their luminescence, stability and bio-compatibility. The as-prepared CDs@mSiO2–PEG nanocomposites are then loaded with the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), so that the controlled release of DOX could be monitored by both time-dependent and spatially resolved ratiometric fluorescence intensity for CDs versus DOX in HeLa cells, successfully demonstrating that the CDs@mSiO2–PEG nanocomposites are suitable for cell imaging and drug release.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
