2 Materials and Methods: Nomenclature Starting Material(s a Carbon dots 1 (CND1 Chitosan and PEG b Carbon dots 2 (CND2 Adenine sulphate c Carbon dots 3 (CND3 Sodium citrate and Sodium thiosulphate d Carbon dots 4 (CND4 Potato-dextrose agar Materials: All Glass wares were washed with aqua regia (3 HCl: 1 HNO 3, followed by rinsing several times with double distilled water. Chitosan, polyethylene glycol (PEG, potato dextrose agar, Sodium citrate, sodium thiosulphate were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Adenine sulphate was purchased from HiMedia chemicals and NaOH purchased from Merck chemicals. Double distilled (18.3 mω deionized (DI water (Elga Purelab Ultra was used throughout the entire process. Synthesis of Carbon dot: 1. Synthesis of CND1: Chitosan (CHS gel (2% was prepared by dissolving 2 gm CHS in 99 ml of water in the presence of 1 ml of acetic acid, under vigorous stirring condition. 25 ml of PEG was dissolved in 75 ml water (25 % PEG solution. For synthesizing CND1, in a beaker 4.5 ml of the prepared CHS gel was mixed with 4.5 ml of the 25% of PEG. In the resulting solution 1 ml of 5 M NaOH was added. The mixture was heated inside a domestic microwave at 6 W powers for 3 minutes. The resulting material was dissolved in 15 ml of distilled water. The solution was filtered by Whatman filter paper. 1.5 ml of the filtered solution was centrifuged twice (Sorvall Lynx 6, thermo scientific at 23 rpm for 3 minutes each. The resulting pellets were removed each time and the final supernatant was collected. This solution was dialyzed for 2 days using 3-4 kd membrane against water. 2. Preparation of CND2: To synthesize CND2,.5gm of Adenine Sulphate (AdS and 1mM NaOH dissolved in 5ml of water. The mixture was heated inside a domestic microwave at 6 W powers for 3 minutes. The resulting material was dissolved in 15 ml of distilled water. The solution was filtered by Whatman filter paper. 1.5 ml of the filtered solution was centrifuged twice (Sorvall Lynx 6, thermo scientific at 23 rpm for 3 minutes each. The resulting 2
3 pellets were removed each time and the final supernatant was collected. This solution was dialyzed for 2 days using 3-4 kd membrane against water. 3. Synthesis of CND3: CND3 were synthesized by adding 25 ml of sodium citrate solution (.1 M to sodium thiosulfate (.1M solution and the mixture was heated at 6 W for 3 minutes using a normal microwave. The resulting material was dissolved in 15 ml of distilled water. The solution was filtered by Whatman filter paper. 1.5 ml of the filtered solution was centrifuged twice (Sorvall Lynx 6, thermo scientific at 23 rpm for 3 minutes each. The resulting pellets were removed each time and the final supernatant was collected. This solution was dialyzed for 2 days using 3-4 kd membrane against water. 4. Synthesis of CND4: For the synthesis of CND4, 2 gm of PDA broth was dissolved in 2 ml of distilled. The mixture was heated at 6 W for 3 minutes using a normal microwave. The resulting material was dissolved in 15 ml of distilled water. The solution was filtered by Whatman filter paper. 1.5 ml of the filtered solution was centrifuged twice (Sorvall Lynx 6, thermo scientific at 23 rpm for 3 minutes each. The resulting pellets were removed each time and the final supernatant was collected. This solution was dialyzed for 2 days using 3-4 kd membrane against water. UV-Vis Absorption spectroscopy The UV-Vis absorption spectra were recorded using Shimadzu UV-Vis 245 spectrophotometer. The spectra were collected using a 1ml quartz cuvette of 1 mm path length. All the measurements were repeated at least three times. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM The particle size and dispersity of the synthesized CND were checked using a TECNAI G2 2 kv TEM (FEI, Electron Optics electron microscope with 2 kv input voltage. TEM grids were prepared by placing 5 µl diluted and well sonicated sample solutions on a carbon coated copper grid and evaporated the solution at room temperature completely. Precautions were taken to avoid contamination from various sources like dust particles. 3
4 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR FTIR spectra were recorded using an Agilent FTIR spectrophotometer equipped with a horizontal attenuated total reflectance (ATR accessories containing a zinc selenide crystal and operating at 4 cm 1 resolution. The use of the spectral subtraction provided reliable and reproducible results. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM AFM analysis was carried out using a Digital Instruments Bruker AFM. Standard Veeco tapping mode silicon probes were used for scanning the samples. Typically, aqueous suspensions of CND samples were dried on silicon substrate for 3 hours. Once dried, samples were placed on the AFM stage and scanned. Pertinent scanning parameters were as follows: Resonant frequency (probe: 6-8 khz; Tip velocity for all measurements are: (4 m/s for 2 m, (15 m/s for 5 m, (3 m/s for 1 m. Aspect ratio: 1:1; Resolution: 512 samples/line, 256 lines. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS X-ray Photo-Electron Spectroscopy (XPS with Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES module PHI 5 Versa Prob II, FEI Inc. and C6 sputter gun have been used for characterization and scanning the spectra from C 1s, N 1s, O 1s and S 2p region. Al K X-ray radiation was used as the source for excitation ( ev, 5 mm. Samples were loaded on copper strips, and surface adherence done by double sided adhesive tape. CND samples were prepared by concentrating the solution by centrifugation at 23 rpm, followed by drying. Thus obtained CND samples were used for recording XPS spectra. Steady state and Time Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy Steady state fluorescence was measured using Horiba Fluorolog-3 Spectrofluorometer. All the experiments were performed at room temperature. The fluorescence was measured in 1 ml quartz cuvette. The fluorescence lifetime and time resolved emission spectra (TRES were measured using Horiba Scientific Delta Flex TCSPC system with Pulsed LED Sources. Ludox has been used to calculate IRF for de-convolution of the spectral value. The photon decays in different channels were fitted tri-exponentially with a chi-squared value <1.2 in 4
5 order to calculate fluorescence lifetime. TRES was plotted by taking 5 slices of the 3D plot at 13 channel (~.35ns interval. Separation of two components of CND1: As the two components are formed at different stages of oxidative reaction, it was expected to have certain degree of dissimilarities in terms of their polarity. We used column chromatographic technique using silica gel to separate the mentioned two components with respect to polarity. In one of the four cases (CND1, we achieved enough purity with individual components for their characterization. As confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC, the blue (shorter wavelength coloured fraction was less polar and eluted with 5% ethyl acetate in hexane. The other fraction with a high degree of polarity, binds strongly with silica and can only be eluted with > 4% ethyl acetate in hexane. The absorption and fluorescence spectra show the photoluminescence properties of the individual components of CND1. The two components are contrasting in terms of their absorption maxima, emission maxima, excitation dependence and peak broadening (Figure S2. Mass spectroscopy shows the fraction has majorly single component with certain degree of purity. (Figure S13 However the molecular weight of the species was found to be in the lower range (<5D denying the possibility of a large carbon core. It should be noted that, the more polar multicolour fraction, which possibly was formed in a later stage of reaction, shows a lower molecular weight than the other one. FTIR spectra of the multicolour fraction show the presence of carboxylic acid (Figure S3. The broadened peak through cm -1 region overlapped with C-H vibrations, a sharp peak at 1699 cm -1 and C-O stretch at 1248 cm -1 is visible. FTIR of blue fraction shows the presence of secondary Amide, characterized by NH stretching and Amide I / Amide II band. Stretching vibration of both methyl (296 & 2875 cm -1 for asymmetric & symmetric respectively and methylene (293 & 2855 cm -1 for asymmetric & symmetric respectively is visible in the spectrum. C-H (CH 2 bending vibration is present at 146 cm -1 along with other bending vibrations. In both of the fractions, CH set of vibration for CH 2 and CH 3 is below 3 cm -1, proving them to be aliphatic Compounds. 5
