By modifying the design of the fluorescence probe RACD, a highly photostable and interference-resistant RACD/GO probe was successfully prepared. The detection sensitivity and limit were significantly improved in practical applications for monitoring Cu2+ in environmental water, sewage, cells, and zebrafish specimens.
The metal ion fluorescence probes based on chemical reactions triggered by specific metal ions is characterized by high selectivity. However, they are also subject to inherent limitations, such as easy aggregation under water solution, poor optical stability, and long response time. In order to solve these problems, a simple and effective method was studied. The specific design is as follows. Fluorescence probe RACD is assembled onto a single layer graphene oxide (GO) via pi-pi interaction and hydrogen bonding to prepare RACD functionlized graphene oxide RACD/GO. The experimental results show that the resulting RACD/GO possesses very well monodispersion, hydrophilicity and photostability, particularly reduce the aggregation degree of RACD owing to pi-pi effect. Simultaneously, it was found that due to the strong synergy between GO and RACD, the response time, selectivity, anti-interference ability, detection sensitivity, detection limit and bioimaging ability of RACD/GO were significantly improved compared with RACD. The resulting RACD/GO not only possesses very well photostability, multiple repeated cycles, but also have been triumphantly put into the monitoring Cu2+ of environmental water, sewage, cells and zebrafish specimens in practice. The detection limit is as low as 1.76 nM, and the correlation coefficient is 0.9998.
