Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Photoluminescent Carbon Dots for Sensitive and Selective Cu2+ Ion Detection(Institute of Physics, 2026-01-07) Sahin-Tiras, K.; Karabel Ocal, S.; Mutlugün, E.; Sahin Tiras, KevserGreen-emitting carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized via a solvent-free, vacuum-assisted method using citric acid and urea. The CDs exhibited strong photoluminescence and served as selective, sensitive probes for Cu2+ detection in water, with a detection limit of 26 nM. Among the tested metal ions, Cu2+ induced the most significant PL quenching. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of the CDs in the presence of Cu2+ ions revealed a minimal change in lifetime, despite a significant decrease in PL intensity, along with unchanged UV-vis absorption, indicating a mixed quenching mechanism. The sensor’s applicability was confirmed in raisin extract and tea infusion, showing notable PL suppression. With their simplicity, selectivity, and sensitivity, these CDs offer promising potential as nanosensors for detecting Cu2+ in environmental and real-world analytical settings. © 2026 The Author(s).

This is more demanding in carbon dots (CDs) with diverse applications that usually emit photons at wavelengths around 450-620 nm. In this study, deep blue-emissive doped-CDs (d-CDs) with high photoluminescence (PL) QE up to 62% and excitation-independent properties were prepared via a short-time microwave irradiation method. The prepared CDs showed simultaneous amorphous and crystalline features, with average sizes of 4.75 nm and bright emission color located at 422 nm. It was found that the presence of sulfur-related dopant levels plays a key role in emission properties in such a way that the PL signal drops significantly in the absence of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) as a dopant source. On the other hand, the trisodium citrate dihydrate (TSC) was selected as a carbon source to form the main carbon skeleton without it no emission was recorded. Monoexponential-fitted recombination trend with an average lifetime of about 10 ns also confirmed excellent PL emission properties with uniform energy levels and minimized defect-contributing recombinations. The practical use of the as-prepared N, S-doped CDs was assessed in fingerprint detection indicating a bright and clear scheme for both core and termination regions of the fingerprint. Simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high-product yield, low toxicity, along with high/stable PL quantum efficiency in deep-blue wavelengths, and demonstrated ability for fingerprint purposes, support the prospective application of these dual doped-CDs for sensing and bioimaging applications.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Designed Optimization of Photoluminescence Emission for Carbon Dots With Bright Blue Emission at 416 NM and Mono-Exponential Decay Lifetime(Elsevier, 2025-09) Ruwaih, Mohammed Abbas; Soheyli, Ehsan; Naji, Jalil; Mutlugun, Evren; Kikhavani, Tavan; Sahraei, Reza; Abbas Ruwaih, MohammedThe presented study introduces optimized blue-emissive carbon dots (CDs) with high photoluminescence efficiency up to 65 % at 416 nm, large Stokes shift (69 nm), and full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 73 nm. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of carbon-based bonds as the main component of CDs, with reliable amounts of O, S, and N as dopant components. These features, along with single-exponential time-decay profile at long average lifetime of 10.05 ns, supported the significant role of uniformly distributed mid-gap energy levels in the recombination process. The simplicity, low-cost, non-toxicity, and short reaction time of CDs, along with their excellent emission properties in the deep-blue region, make them suitable for use in environmental monitoring and high-contrast bioimaging.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Bright Green and Blue Solid-State Emitting Carbon Dots With Optimized Photoluminescence Characteristics for Fabrication of High-Performance Light Emitting Diodes(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-09) Havasi, Nasrin; Sahraei, Reza; Soheyli, Ehsan; Lan, Yu; Lou, Qing; Houshmand, Fatemeh; Shan, Chong-XinLuminescent carbon dots (CDs) possess a range of fundamental and technological advantages, including low-cost, and scalable preparation methods, high emission efficiency, tunable electronic properties, and adaptable surface characteristics. However, aggregation-caused quench in solid-state emission of CDs has constrained their applications in luminescent solar-concentrators, and light-emitting devices. This study introduces a rapid and straightforward microwave method for producing bright blue-and green-emissive CDs, with emission peaks at 440 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Blue-CDs showed excitation-dependent feature with a biexponential decay profile and average lifetime of 6.3 ns, while the green one signified an excitation-independent photoluminescence profile with longer average lifetime of 9 ns through biexponential fitting of decay plot. Upon optimization of experimental parameters, reproducible green emission with a high efficiency of 78 % was achieved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The critical role of biurea as a nitrogen precursor was elucidated through experimental and computational investigations. Furthermore, owing to the bright solid-state emission of the synthesized CDs, they were utilized as color-converting layers in the fabrication of durable monochrome LEDs, yielding blue and yellowish-green emissions with Commission Internationale de L'E<acute accent>clairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.16, 0.10) and (0.35, 0.57), respectively. This study highlights the potential of CDs for applications in light-emitting panels.
