The surface charge of carbon dots (CDs) governs cellular uptake; however, studies seldom compare CDs with similar physico-chemical properties thereby introducing confounding variables. Here, we investigate how the surface charge of amine-passivated carbon dots with similar optical and chemical properties influences their uptake in human cells. We synthesi ...
