Carbon nanodots (CNDs) have shown potential for antioxidative activity at the cellular level. Here we applied a facile hydrothermal method to prepare fluorescent nitrogen and sulfur (N,S-)codoped CNDs using α-lipoic acid, citric acid, and urea as precursor molecules. This work describes a comprehensive study for exploring their antioxidation activity using UV-vis absorption and electrochemistry measurements of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•), as well as a lucigenin chemiluminescence (lucigenin-CL) assay. The lucigenin-CL assay detects superoxide anion radicals, i.e., reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced through the xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XO) reaction. The electrochemically derived relationship between the unreacted nitrogen-centered DPPH• and CND concentrations agrees with that obtained from UV-vis measurements. A reaction pathway for the ROS antioxidative reaction of N,S-codoped CNDs is proposed. These findings should aid in the development of N,S-codoped CNDs for practical use in biomedical applications.
