Gold versus platinum for chemical modification of carbon quantum dots from carboxymethyl cellulose: Tunable biomedical performance

Urgent requirements for medication from chronic inflammation and cancer are considerably interested, while, the recent reports were considered with investigating simple methods for synthesis. Metal-modified carbon quantum dots ("M-CQDs") were successfully ingrained from carboxymethyl cellulose under the assistance of infra-red irradiation. The current approach demonstrates a study for the effect of structural tuning for biomedical performance of CQDs via modifying of CQDs with either gold (Au-CQDs) or platinum (Pt-CQDs). Successive nucleation of Au-CQDs and Pt-CQDs was confirmed via different instrumental analyses like, TEM micrographs, Zeta potential, XRD, FTIR,
