Cover Feature: One‐Pot Synthesis of Orange Emissive Carbon Dots Specific for Staining of Mitochondria in both Cancer and Non‐Cancer Cells (ChemNanoMat 10/2024)

Specific staining of mitochondria in both cancer and non-cancer cells using orange emissive carbon dots (CDs) synthesized via a one-pot solvothermal method using 3-(carboxypropyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP) and citric acid as precursors. The negative membrane potential of the mitochondrial inner membrane facilitates the accumulation of positively charged TPP present on the surface of CDs.
