Synergistic Antibacterial Behavior of Carbon Dots via Both Contact-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms.
Antibiotic-resistant infections remain a major barrier to wound care, motivating antimicrobial biomaterials that are effective and locally activatable. Here, we report infection-responsive iron-doped carbon dots (FeCDs) synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal route using biocompatible iron(II) gluconate. FeCDs eradicate...
