Uniform water soluble MoS2 quantum dots (WS-MSQDs) are synthesized via a sequential combination of sintering/etching/exfoliation method and solvothermal route. The obtained WS-MSQDs with average size of approximately 3.4 nm exhibit sufficient water solubility and remarkable fluorescence properties. The WS-MSQDs have been utilized as a probe for detection of Fe3+ ions with high selectivity and specificity. Furthermore, the WS-MSQDs exhibit high fluorescence stability under different conditions. Finally, the WS-MSQDs are successfully applied for the fluorescence imaging of Fe3+ in living cells, which exhibited practical potential for biomedical applications.

The article reports a simple, economic, and green method for preparing water-soluble, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots via a one-step hydrothermal method. Pomegranate juice served as the carbon source, and the L-cysteine provided nitrogen and sulfur. Co-doped carbon dots were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques. The co-doped carbon dots served as fluorescent probes for sensitive and selective detection of cephalexin. Briefly, the co-doped carbon dot systems showed quenching of photoluminescence intensity in the presence of cephalexin. The decrease of fluorescence intensity made it possible to analyze cephalexin with satisfactory detection limits and linear ranges. The Sterne–Volmer plot showed a linear relationship (R2 = 0.998) between F0/F and the concentration of cephalexin over the range from 0.3 to 10 μmol L−1. The limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 1 × 10−7 mol L−1 (at a signal to noise ratio of 3). To validate the applicability, the described method was successfully applied for the detection of cephalexin in human urine and raw milk samples.
