Surface protonation amplifies carbon nitride nanosheet-induced phospholipid extraction: Mechanistic insights into enhanced cytotoxicity by Yiping Feng, Jiayong Lao, Jingchuan Xue

“…Hemolysis assays revealed that p-C3N4 exhibits enhanced phospholipid membrane-rupturing capabilities compared to pristine g-C3N4, with absence of significant lipid peroxidation detected via malondialdehyde assays. Surface characterization revealed that protonation reduces the net negative charge of carbon nitride, thereby increasing its affinity with phospholipid membranes. …”
