Cyanine-Incorporated Amorphous Polymeric Carbon Dots for Optical Reactive Oxygen Species Sensing
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are common cellular oxidants that when overproduced by cellular stressors cause harm to cells. Detection of ROS is of utmost importance to understanding a wide variety of cellular function and toxicity mechanisms. Conventional ROS fluorescence assays involve using a single dye to visualize the ROS quantity. Herein, we describe ROS-sensitive, fluorescent-dye-incorporated carbon dots with dual fluorescence capabilities and good biocompatibility. Carbon dots (CDs) made of citric acid and urea were synthesized with incorporated cyanine-3-amine (Cy3), a bright red fluorescent dye, to create Cy3-CDs. Additionally, to get Cy3 into the ROS-sensitive form, this work demonstrated that Cy3 alone and Cy3 within carbon dots can be electrochemically reduced to their colorless ROS-sensitive form. Cy3, CDs, and Cy3-CDs are all responsive to additions of superoxide, leading to an increase in the fluorescence. Overall, this work examines how O 2 •– and additional oxidizers interact with CDs, Cy3, and Cy3-CDs, and molecular-level hypotheses are explored that will inform the design of future carbon dot-based ROS sensors.

Cathode Interface Compatibility of Amorphous LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) and Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) Characterized with Thin-Film Solid-State Electrochemical Cells
Solid-state lithium-ion batteries are a hopeful successor to traditional Li-ion cells that use liquid electrolytes. While a growing body of work has characterized the interfaces between various solid electrolytes and the lithium metal, interfaces with common cathode intercalation compounds are comparatively less understood. In this contribution, the influence of polarization and temperature on interfacial stability between LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) and Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) are investigated. Sputtered thin-film LMO electrodes are utilized to permit high-capacity cycling while retaining a large ratio of interfacial area to electrode bulk. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is compared across a set of full (LMO|LLZO|Li) and symmetric (LMO|LLZO|LMO, Li|LLZO|Li, and Au|LLZO|Au) cells to delineate impedance features that are specific to the evolution of the cathode interface. Furthermore, additional X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) provides evidence of a limited interfacial reaction between LMO and LLZO that coincides with an increase in the impedance of the LMO–LLZO interface.
