We demonstrate carbon dot based sensor of catecholamine, namely, dopamine and ascorbic acid. Carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from a green source: commercially available Assam tea. The carbon dots prepared from tea had particle sizes of ∼0.8 nm and are fluorescent. Fluorescence of the carbon dots was found to be quenched in the presence of dopamine and ascorbic acid with greater sensitivity for dopamine. The minimum detectable limits were determined to be 33 μM and 98 μM for dopamine and ascorbic acid, respectively. The quenching constants determined from Stern-Volmer plot were determined to be 5 × 10−4 and 1 × 10−4 for dopamine and ascorbic acid, respectively. A probable mechanism of quenching has been discussed in the paper.

Water-soluble fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using citric acid as the carbon source and ethylenediamine as the nitrogen source. The repeated and scale-up synthetic experiments were carried out to explore the feasibility of macroscopic preparation of CDs. The CDs/Fe3+ composite was prepared by the interaction of the CDs solution and Fe3+ solution. The optical properties, pH dependence and stability behavior of CDs or the CDs/Fe3+ composite were studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Following the principles of fluorescence quenching after the addition of Fe3+ and then the fluorescence recovery after the addition of asorbic acid, the fluorescence intensity of the carbon dots was measured at λex = 360 nm, λem = 460 nm. The content of ascorbic acid was calculated by quantitative analysis of the changing fluorescence intensity. The CDs/Fe3+ composite was applied to the determination of different active molecules, and it was found that the composite had specific recognition of ascorbic acid and showed an excellent linear relationship in 5.0–350.0 μmol·L−1. Moreover, the detection limit was 3.11 μmol·L−1. Satisfactory results were achieved when the method was applied to the ascorbic acid determination in jujube fruit. The fluorescent carbon dots composites prepared in this study may have broad application prospects in a rapid, sensitive and trace determination of ascorbic acid content during food processing.

Fluorescence materials such as carbon dots are unique and non-toxic materials that can be produced using many methods. In this research, synthesis and optical characterization of carbon dots from the peels of dragon fruit and pear have been done. The synthesis uses bottom-up method using microwave with 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 80 minutes of heating time. The result of optical characterizations showed that the samples that have been heat treated are carbon dots based of the absorbance in the range of 280-350 nm, and the intensity are decreased in the range of visible and infrared wavelength. There are emission and intensity changes by different heat treatments. From the samples of dragon fruit's peels, the emission wavelength tended to shift toward visible light at the wavelength of 551.51 nm, 507.98 nm and 487.28 nm with the excitation at the wavelength of 420 nm from pulsed pico-laser. While, the emission wavelength from the samples of pears peels were fluctuate in wavelength of 529.09 nm, 507.52 nm and 519.46 nm. Similarly, the time-resolved photoluminescence characterization test showed that there were time changes in each sample of carbon dot. The decay lifetime of carbon dots was fluctuated between 4.5 ns - 5.4 ns for dragon fruit’s peels and about 1.9 ns - 2.4 ns for pear's peels.
