Carbon dots, generally defined as small carbon nanoparticles with various surface
passivation schemes, have emerged as a new class of quantum-dot-like
nanomaterials, with their optical properties and photocatalytic functions
resembling those typically found in conventional nanoscale semiconductors. In
this work, carbon dots were evaluated for their photoinduced bactericidal
functions, with the results suggesting that the dots were highly effective in
bacteria-killing with visible-light illumination. In fact, the inhibition effect
could be observed even simply under ambient room lighting conditions. Mechanistic
implications of the results are discussed and so are opportunities in the further
development of carbon dots into a new class of effective visible/natural
light-responsible bactericidal agents for a variety of bacteria control
applications.
