Key Points

Carbon nanodots exhibit unique optical properties, making them suitable for various applications.
α-ketoglutaric acid serves as a novel precursor for producing carbon nanodots with enhanced functionalities.
Incorporating manganese into carbon nanodots improves their efficiency as MRI contrast agents.
The findings suggest promising uses for these nanomaterials in medical imaging and diagnostics.

Implication

Carbon nanodots derived from α-ketoglutaric acid demonstrate enhanced fluorescent and MRI contrast properties, indicating potential biomedical applications.

Abstract

Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are a class of nanomaterials under 10 nm known for their distinctive optical properties. In this work, we introduce α-ketoglutaric acid (KGA) as a novel carbon precursor...
