Accurate, simple and quick detection methods for Cr(VI) detection are urgently needed for water quality monitoring. Herein, a novel and facile method of detecting Cr(VI) (Cr2O72-/CrO42-) ions is developed via the fluorescent detection technology based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) doped with sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) (SQDs@UiO-66-NH2). The blue-light-emitting SQDs@UiO-66-NH2 composites exhibit excellent fluorescent properties in water environment with high quantum yield (68%) and ideal fluorescent stability, thus demonstrating excellent potential for serving as a chemical sensor. After characterizing the performance and stability of SQDs@UiO-66-NH2, qualitative and quantitative detection of Cr2O72- and CrO42- ions was successfully conducted. The fluorescence of SQDs@UiO-66-NH2 composites in aqueous solution was quenched effectively with more than 90% quenching efficiency by Cr(VI) via the inner filter effect. The detection system provides considerable advantages such as rapid response (10 s), high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.16 mu M in a broad linear range of 0 -200 mu M (R-2 = 0.99) for CrO42-- and 0.17 mu M for CrO42- in a broad linear range of 0-220 mu M (R-2 = 0.99), high selectivity and reproducibility for at least five cycles with simple washing with alcohol. In practical applications, the sensor showed rapid response, high sensitivity and excellent recoveries (96.7%-105.4%) for detecting Cr2O72- in real water samples. Furthermore, a SQDs@UiO-66-NH2-based fluorescent test Article paper was successfully developed, providing a simple, reliable and portable method for Cr(VI) (Cr2O72-/CrO42) detection in water environment.
