In this work, silicon doped graphene quantum dots (Si-GQDs) were prepared and applied for the sensitive and selective fluorescence detection of triclosan (TCS) in combination with Ru3+ ions.
New Fe,N co-doped GQDs are easily synthesized and have high peroxidase-mimicking activity for the selective and sensitive colorimetric detection of l-cysteine.
A facile strategy was developed for the one-step synthesis of S-GQDs with a monolayer-graphene crystal structure. The change of surface chemistry by S-doping resulted in selective and sensitive detection of Pb2+.
