Carbon dots (CDs) also nitrogen-doped CDs (N-CDs) were produced by green hydrothermal synthesis using Pea and ethanediamine as the carbon and nitrogen source, separately. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images displayed that the prepared CDs and N-CDs were well dispersed, had a spherical morphology. X-ray diffraction (XRD) figures of CDs and N-CDs presented a graphitic amorphous structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) verified that CDs and N-CDs carried many different hydrophilic groups (for example hydroxyl, carboxyl/carbonyl, amide, amino groups) on the surface, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) together verified this result. However, the optical properties and fluorescence quantum yield for N-CDs were obviously superior to those of CDs. Furthermore, the prepared N-CDs displayed outstanding advantages including low toxicity, satisfactory biocompatibility, and excellent chemical stability. More prominently, the prepared N-CDs could detect Hg2+ ions with high sensitivity and selectivity in both water samples and HeLa cells.

A new coumarin-acridone fluorescent probe S was designed and synthesized, and the structure was confirmed with 1H/13C NMR spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. This probe has high sensitivity and selectivity for Fe3+ over other testing metal ions at 420 or 436 nm in acetonitrile–MOPS (3-Morpholinopropanesulfonic Acid) buffer solution (20.0 μM, pH = 6.9, 8:2 (v/v)). Under physiological conditions, the probe displayed satisfying time stability with a detection limit of 1.77 µM. In addition, probe S was successfully used to detect intracellular iron changes through a fluorescence-off mode, and the imaging results of cells and zebrafish confirmed their low cytotoxicity and satisfactory cell membrane permeability, as well as their potential biological applications.

A simple route to the production of high-quality CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is presented. The characterization of CdSe QDs was measured by Zetasizer Nano ZS, ultraviolet-visible spectoscopy and fluorospectrophotometer. The CdSe QDs were decorated by 3-Aminobenzeneboronic acid to obtain good fluorescent characteristic. Under the optimal conditions, the decreased normalized absorbance was linear to the concentration of glucose from 1.0×10−7 to 2.9×10−6 mol·L-1with a detection limit of 5.0´10-8mol·L-1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for the determination of 1.0×10-7mol·L-1was 1.4 % by 11 replicate determination. In this paper, the fluorescent behavior of glucose with the decorated CdSe QDs was studied, and it is found that the system has a high sensitivity and selectivity for analysis of glucose.

Abstract In this paper, a fluorescent aptamer sensor was constructed based on the carbon dots and graphene oxide. This sensor combines the excellent fluorescence performance of carbon dots with the high specificity of aptamers to detect progesterone with high sensitivity and selectivity. In the absence of progesterone, the carbon dots-aptamer system and graphene oxide form a fluorescence resonance energy transfer process(FRET), which quenches the fluorescence of the carbon dots. When progesterone is added, the aptamer specifically binds to progesterone, resulting the fluorescence of the carbon dots is recovered. At optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity recovered by the carbon dots has a linear relationship with the concentration of progesterone in the range of 0.1-120 nM, and the detection limit is 3.3×10 -11 M. Besides, the sensor has satisfactory detection results of progesterone in milk, indicating that this method has a enormous potential for application in food safety.
