In this study, long-wavelength fluorescence carbon dots doped with nitrogen and sulfur were synthesized through the hydrothermal method. The synthesized carbon dots showed yellow fluorescence in aqueous solution and exhibited potential for pH sensing. The incorporation of tigecycline into carbon dots resulted in decreased fluorescence, enabling the detection of tigecycline in a concentration range of 200 μM to 7 nM.
Long-wavelength fluorescence carbon dots (CDs) show great importance in multiple fields, especially for the biochemical sensing. Here, we proposed one type of CDs doped with nitrogen and sulfur through the hydrothermal method, which exhibited obvious yellow-fluorescence in aqueous solution. Importantly, the fluorescence intensity of CDs decreased with pH decreasing in the acidic range, thus a linear relationship between pH and fluorescence intensity was established, exhibiting the potential of pH sensing. Additionally, introducing tigecycline into CDs resulted in their decreased fluorescence, thus, we further established a strategy of detecting tigecycline with the concentration range of 200 mu M to 7 nM. Meanwhile, we elucidated the static quenching as the major mechanism for CDs responding tigecycline, which was induced by the formed new complex between CDs and tigecycline. Furthermore, the practicality of the method was verified by examining the recovery of tigecycline in the actual lake-water samples.
