Summary:
This technology involves the chemical modification of carbon quantum dots (CQ-dots) with fluorescent dyes and natural polyphenolic compounds, unlocking a new era of multifunctional materials. By combining CQ-dots with fluorescent dyes like fluorescein sodium salt (FSS) and riboflavin (RBF), we enhance optical properties for advanced bioimaging and microorganism eradication, meeting the rising demand for precise diagnostics and therapeutics. Furthermore, our approach of incorporating natural polyphenolic compounds such as catechin and quercetin into CQ-dots imparts potent antioxidant, anticancer, and enhanced antipathogenic properties, aligning with market needs for sustainable and health-enhancing technologies. These modified CQ-dots offer broad-spectrum antimicrobial capabilities and tailored optical functionalities, making them ideal for biomedical research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental monitoring. Our technology addresses a significant market gap by providing versatile materials with diverse applications in healthcare, biotechnology, and consumer products. The demand for high-performance materials that bridge functionality and sustainability positions our innovation at the forefront of biotechnology and materials science.
