Student Activity: Toward a More Sustainable Campus through Innovative Design and Practical Application
Dr. Sewara J. Mohammed, a Lecturer and Researcher at Cihan University Sulaimaniya, recently published his latest review article titled ” Recent Progress in Folic Acid Detection Based on Fluorescent Carbon Dots as Sensors: A Review.” This informative piece has been featured in the prestigious international publisher, Springer, specifically in the Journal of Fluorescence. Notably, the Journal of Fluorescence boasts an impressive impact factor of 2.7, as recognized by both Clarivate and Web of Science.
Folic acid (FA) is a water-soluble vitamin found in diverse natural sources and is crucial for preserving human health. The risk of health issues due to FA deficiency underscores the need for a straightforward and sensitive FA detection methodology. Carbon dots (CDs) have gained significant attention owing to their exceptional fluorescence performance, biocompatibility, and easy accessibility. Consequently, numerous research studies have concentrated on developing advanced CD fluorescent probes to enable swift and precise FA detection. Despite these efforts, there is still a requirement for a thorough overview of the efficient synthesis of CDs and their practical applications in FA detection to further promote the widespread use of CDs.
This review paper focuses on the practical applications of CD sensors for FA detection. It begins with an in-depth introduction to FA and CDs. Following that, based on various synthetic approaches, the prepared CDs are classified into diverse detection methods, such as single sensing, visual detection, and electrochemical methods. Furthermore, persistent challenges and potential avenues are highlighted for future research to provide valuable insights into crafting effective CDs and detecting FA.
