Tuning the Functional Groups on Carbon Nanodots and Antioxidant Studies
摘要： Carbon nanodots (CNDs) have shown good antioxidant capabilities by scavenging oxidant free radicals such as diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH?) and reactive oxygen species. While some studies suggest that the antioxidation activities associate to the proton donor role of surface active groups like carboxyl groups (–COOH), it is unclear how exactly the extent of oxidant scavenging potential and its related mechanisms are influenced by functional groups on CNDs’ surfaces. In this work, carboxyl and the amino functional groups on CNDs’ surfaces are modified to investigate the individual influence of intermolecular interactions with DPPH? free radical by UV-Vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The results suggest that both the carboxyl and the amino groups contribute to the antioxidation activity of CNDs through either a direct or indirect hydrogen atom transfer reaction with DPPH?.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue over TiO2 Pretreated with Varying Concentrations of NaOH
摘要： In this paper, different NaOH concentrations (2, 5, 10, and 15 M) were used to treat {001}TiO2. The effect of NaOH on the crystal structure, morphology, optical properties, light raw electronic-hole recombination, and degradation performance of {001}TiO2 on methylene blue were studied. The results demonstrate that rutile TiO2 appeared when the NaOH concentration was as high as 10 M, showing much better photolytic performance than others. As the concentration of sodium hydroxide increases, the morphology changes accordingly. The specific surface area increases and the optical electronic-hole recombination rate decreases. Radical scavenging tests showed that hydroxyl radical and hole are very important in photocatalysis.

Antioxidant Activity of Graphene Quantum Dots Prepared in Different Electrolyte Environments
摘要： Antioxidants can reduce or inhibit damage such as oxidative decay caused by elevated levels of free radicals. Therefore, pursuing antioxidants with excellent properties has attracted more and more attention. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are considered a promising material because of their good free radical scavenging activity, low toxicity, and excellent water solubility. However, their scavenging e?ciency, antioxidant mechanism, and e?ective control methods need to be improved. Herein, in order to further reveal the antioxidant mechanism of GQDs, the role of electrolytes in improving the antioxidant activity of GQDs is explored. In addition, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrazine (DPPH·), hydroxyl (·OH), and superoxide (·O2) free radicals are used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the as-prepared GQDs. Combined with transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and cyclic volt–ampere characteristic curves, the e?ects of an electrolytic environment on the surface functional groups, charge transfer capability, and defect states of GQDs are obtained. The antioxidant mechanism of GQDs and how to improve their antioxidant activity are further elucidated.

Ionic Radii and Concentration Dependency of RE <sup>3+</sup> (Eu <sup>3+</sup> , Nd <sup>3+</sup> , Pr <sup>3+</sup> and La <sup>3+</sup> ) Doped Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Multi-Enzyme Mimetic and Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Activity
摘要： The anti-oxidant activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) depends on the concentration of oxygen vacancies and Ce3+ active sites. In the present work, we report the impact of 5 mol% tri-valent rare earth doped (RE3+ = Eu3+, Nd3+, Pr3+ and La3+) CNPs on the oxidation state modulation and anti-oxidant property with respect to ionic radii. An increase in lattice parameter, strain and oxygen vacancy concentration was observed as a function of ionic radii. Among the various dopants in CNP, La3+ with higher ionic radii having smaller crystallite size (7.9 nm) and higher vacancy displayed better peroxidase, oxidase and hydroxyl radical (HO?) scavenging activity. The kinetic parameters for the peroxidase and oxidase activity was found to be superior with Km = 0.217 mM and 0.261 mM, respectively, for 5 mol% La3+ doped CNPs. In order to divulge the role of dopants concentration on structural properties, we also explored using 10 and 20 mol% La3+ doping in CNP. Due to smaller crystallite size (6.7 nm) and higher defect level (3.12 x 1021 cm-3), 20% La3+ doping showed superior peroxidase and oxidase activity as shown by the low Km values. CNPs exhibit both peroxidase and oxidase activity in a concentration dependent manner. Moreover, CNPs exhibit a concentration dependent peroxidase and oxidase activity that can be selectively activated for various theranostic applications. Thus, our results demonstrate the crucial role of ionic radii and concentration of RE3+ dopants on the defect formation in cerium oxide nanoparticles for improved anti-oxidant properties of ceria.
