The water-soluble fluorescent carbon nanomaterials with low toxicity and high biocompatibility are considered as promising materials for biomedical and sensor applications. Here, we report that a nanosensor system has been developed to simultaneously detect two valence states of iron ( Fe 2+ and/or Fe 3+) in aqueous solution based on fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (FCNs). The nanosensor has high selectivity and sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 5 μM, which is equivalent to 0.3 mg/L (5.36 μM) of iron in drinking water by United States Environment Protection Agency (US-EPA). Furthermore, a distinguishable color change of solution, from pale yellow to red-brown, can be observed as iron concentration reaching 40 μM, which provides way for fast, visible detection of irons.
