In the present article, we describe the use of highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) for the preparation of an effective water-based carbon dot ink (CD-ink) for gravure printing. Carbon dots were prepared hydrothermally from citrate and triethylenetetramine, and mixed properly with certain resins that are used in gravure inks. The as-produced CD gravure ink was used successfully for printing high quality fluorescent images.

Blue fluorescent carbon dots are synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method using rosemary leaves as a carbon source. The obtained carbon dots are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-Vis, FTIR, and fluorescence spectrometry. The results show that carbon dots gave a maximum emission peak at 422 nm when excited at 332 nm. The average particle diameter of the synthesized spherical carbon dots is found to be 16.13 nm with a 4.6-nm standard deviation. The diameters of the produced carbon dots vary, as is evident from standard deviation heights, resulting in multicolor emission spectra. The fruit storage experiment is carried out by investigating the qualitative antioxidant ability of the produced carbon dots. The results obtained for polyvinyl alcohol–carbon dot–coated samples differ remarkably compared to polyvinyl alcohol–coated samples only. The polyvinyl alcohol–carbon dot composition is used in latent fingerprint detection applications. In analyses made on a glass surface, fingerprints cannot be monitored on the glass surface with the polyvinyl alcohol layer under ultraviolet light, while they are observed on the surface covered with the polyvinyl alcohol–carbon dot composition. Moreover, biological activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and yeast strains are investigated.

Background: In recent years, environmental pollution and heavy metal pollution caused by rapid urbanization and industrialization have become increasingly serious. Among them, mercury (II) ion (Hg2+) is one of the highly toxic heavy metal ions, and its pollution comes from various natural resources and human activities. Therefore, people attach great importance to the development of analytical methods for effective analysis and sensitive detection of Hg2+ . Objective: Using grape skin as a green and environmental friendly carbon source, to synthesize fluorescent carbon dots, and try to apply them to the detect the concentration of Hg2+ in water. Method: Using "Hutai No. 8" grape skin as carbon source, fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. Structure and fluorescent properties of the carbon dots were tested using TEM, XPS, XRD and other characterization instruments, and their utilization on detection of mercury ions in the actual water samples was explored. Results: The CDs had a particle size of about 4.8 nm and a spherical shape. There are N-H, C-N, C=O and other functional groups on the surface. It was found that Hg2+ has obvious fluorescence quenching effect on CDs, and thus CDs fluorescence quenching method to detect the concentration Hg2+ was established, and the detection limit is 3.7 μM, which could be applied to test the concentration of Hg2+ in water samples. Conclusion: Using grape skin as carbon source, fluorescent carbon dots were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Carbon dots were used to detect mercury ions in water, and a method for detecting mercury ions in actual water samples was established.
