ABSTRACTWe report an interesting property of carbon dots: they emit light under charge injection. We synthesized carbon dots in diameter about 20 nm using wet chemistry methods. The photoluminescence quantum efficiency of the carbon dots dissolved in water was about 11%. We observed strong electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) from the sample. This observation of ECL from carbon dots indicates that they could be a good candidate material for carbon-based electroluminescent devices.

II-VI inorganic/organic heterostructures consisting of ZnSe and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) were prepared by electron beam evaporator. Alq3 layer with 20 nm was grown between 200-nm ZnSe layers. Photoluminescence measurement was conducted at various temperatures in order to investigate the important temperature-dependent parameters of this structure. PL spectra revealed thermal population of exciton state and the change in PL quantum efficiency of the film.

Cancer remains one of the most deadly diseases globally, but carbon-based nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize cancer diagnosis and therapy. Advances in nanotechnology and a better understanding of tumor microenvironments have contributed to novel nanotargeting routes that may bring new hope to cancer patients. Several low-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials have shown promising preclinical results; as such, low-dimensional carbon dots (CDs) and their derivatives are considered up-and-coming candidates for cancer treatment. The unique properties of carbon-based nanomaterials are high surface area to volume ratio, chemical inertness, biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity. It makes them well suited for delivering chemotherapeutics in cancer treatment and diagnosis. Recent studies have shown that the CDs are potential applicants in biomedical sciences, both as nanocarriers and nanotransducers. This review covers the most commonly used CD nanoparticles in nanomedicines intended for the early diagnosis and therapy of cancer.

A simple and precise method for measuring the efficiency of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (e.g.c.l.) in terms of photons/(Faradaic electron)(Φcoul) is described and applied to rubrene e.g.c.l. A symmetrical square wave potential having a frequency of 20–1000 Hz was employed to produce the e.g.c.l. The electrogenerated ion radicals were shown to be completely stable at these frequencies; consequently, Φcoul was determined in the absence of side reactions. Change of solvent from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to equivolume benzene-DMF resulted in an increase in Φcoul from 0.67 to 1.21% at 20 Hz. Φcoul decreased with increasing frequency. Varying the electrolyte (tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate, TBAP) concentration did not affect Φcoul.
