title: Insights into the role of nanostructure in the sensing properties of carbon nanodots for improved sensitivity to reactive oxygen species in living cells.
abstract: The surface states of carbon nanodots (CDs) were engineered by controlling the chemical structure on the surface of the CDs, which play an important role in the chemiluminescence sensing properties of CDs towards peroxynitrite. Their application in monitoring exogenous and endogenous release of peroxynitrite in living cells is demonstrated.
