A ratiometric probe for determining ferric ions (Fe3+) was developed based on nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) and rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RhB), which was then applied to selective detection of Fe3+in PB buffer solution, lake water, and tap water. In the sensing system, FePO4particles deposit on the surface of CDs, resulting in larger particles and surface passivation. The fluorescence (FL) intensity and the light scattering (LS) intensity of CDs can be gradually enhanced with the addition of Fe3+, while the FL intensity of RhB remains constant. The ratiometric light intensity of CDs LS and RhB FL was quantitatively in response to Fe3+concentrations in a dynamic range of 0.01–1.2 μM, with a detection limit as low as 6 nM. Other metal ions, such as Fe2+, Al3+, K+, Ca2+, and Co2+, had no significant interference on the determination of Fe3+. Compared with traditional probes based on single-signal probe for Fe3+detection, this dual-signal-based ratiometric probe exhibits a more reliable and stable response on target concentration and is characterized by easy operation in a simple fluorescence spectrophotometer.

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots were synthesized using citric acid monohydrate and glutathione as raw materials. The synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon dots were characterized by multiple analytical techniques, including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence intensity of the nitrogen-doped carbon dots gradually quenched with different concentrations of Cu2+ ions. The effect of the pH value, the nitrogen-doped carbon dot concentration, and the reaction time on the fluorescence intensity of the N-CDs-Cu2+ system was investigated, and the experimental conditions were optimized. A rapid and sensitive method for the determination of Cu2+ ions was established that exhibited a good linearity in the concentration range 0.20–200.0 μM with a detection limit of 0.27 nM. Meanwhile, the fluorescence quenching mechanism of the interaction between nitrogen-doped carbon dots and Cu2+ was preliminarily discussed. The method was used to detect trace Cu2+ in tap water and lake water, with recoveries ranging from 98.1% to 102.0%. Furthermore, due to low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, nitrogen-doped carbon dots as a probe were also successfully used in bioimaging.

Abstract Although carbon dots (CDs) as fluorescent sensors have been widely exploited, multi-component detection using CDs without tedious surface modification is always a challenging task. Here, two kinds of nitrogen-doped CDs (NCD-m and NCD-o) based on soluble starch (SS) as carbon source were prepared through one-pot hydrothermal process using m-phenylenediamine and o-phenylenediamine as nitrogenous dopant respectively. Through fluorescence “on-off” mechanism of CDs, NCD-m and NCD-o could be used as a fluorescence sensor for detection of Fe 3+ and Ag + with LOD of 0.25 and 0.5 μM, respectively. Additionally, NCD-m could be used for indirect detection of ascorbic acid (AA) with LOD of 5 μM. Moreover, fluorescence intensity of NCD-m also exhibited the sensitivity to pH change from 2 to 13. More importantly, Both NCD-m and NCD-o had potential application for analysis of complicated real samples such as tap water, Vitamin C tablets and orange juice. Ultimately, the small size of NCD-m could contribute to reinforcing intracellular endocytosis, which allowed them to be used for bacteria imaging.
