Fluorescent amikacin modified nitrogen, sulfur co-doped carbon dots (amikacin modified N,S-CDs) were synthesized by a facile and low-cost one-step microwave-assisted specifically for selective detection of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). Amikacin is a semi-synthetic amino glycoside antibiotic and it was employed in this study to increase the fluorescence response of N,S-CDs by providing binding ligand towards E. coli. The effect of thiourea content as the source of nitrogen and sulfur dopants was investigated prior to the preparation of amikacin modified N,S-CDs. The formation of amikacin modified N,S-CDs were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and spectrofluorometer. Amikacin modified N,S-CDs was identified to be successfully synthesized from the wavenumber shift of the C=O stretching mode. Amikacin modified N,S-CDs were amorphous with an average size of 7 nm. Fluorescence spectra showed that the highest intensity was obtained at thiourea content of 50% and amikacin mass of 25 mg. By comparing fluorescence responses of all the investigated amikacin modified N,S-CDs, the limit of detection (LOD) was attained by 25 mg amikacin modified N,S-CDs at 1.526 cfu mL−1.

Herein, a rapid microwave assisted solid state method is reported for the synthesis of highly fluorescent N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) using citric acid as carbon source and guanidine hydrochloride as N-dopant. Synthetic parameters such as microwave power, irradiation time and reactants ratio were optimized to produce high quality N-doped carbon dots. The N-doped carbon dots were well characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM-EDS, FTIR, UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies. N-Doped carbon dots exhibited bright emission with a quantum yield of 11 %. Detailed study of their optical properties revealed their excellent property of resistance to photo bleaching, high ionic strength and solution pH. Further they exhibited excitation dependent emission behaviour, high aqueous solubility and a long shelf life of 60 days. This strong fluorescence emission combined with high stability make N-doped carbon dots a promising fluorescent probe for wide range of applications.

Innovative nitrogen and boron co-doped carbon dots are hydrothermally produced using fructose, urea, and boric acid as precursors. The synthesized carbon dots possess a uniform morphology, and exhibit excellent fluorescence stability, tunable luminescence property, strong resistance to photobleaching, low-toxicity, and excellent biocompatibility. It is also found more dopant urea is conducive to the formation of the carbon dots with more B–N bonds, and shorter wavelength of fluorescence emission. Meanwhile, the synthesized carbon dots are well utilized as a photoluminescent probe for facile Hg2+ determination and fluorescent imaging reagent in cells.
