Nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (N,P-CDs) have been synthesized via hydrothermal method starting from o-phosphorylethanolamine and citric acid. The blue-green fluorescence of the N,P-CDs (with excitation/emission peaks at 325/435nm) isgradually enhanced on sequential addition of Cd(II) ions. This fluorometric assay works in the 0.5M to 12.5M Cd(II) concentration range and has a 0.16M detection limit. The phenomenon may be attributed to chelation enhanced fluorescence that is induced by the formation of Cd(II)-N,P-CDs complex with functional groups present on the surface. The method has applied to the detection of Cd(II) in spiked serum and urine samples and gave satisfying results.
