In this study, oil-soluble carbon dots were successfully fabricated and applied for the detection of doxycycline in milk. These carbon dots showed high sensitivity and potential for real sample applications.
The overuse of doxycycline poses a risk for ecological environment. Advanced materials such as anti -counterfeiting and photovoltaic materials are urgently needed to develop innovative strategies for exploiting solar cells and protecting valuable products. Herein, oil-soluble CDs (o-CDs) were successfully fabricated from citric acid, tris-base and oleylamine as precursors via pyrolysis method. The o-CDs with uniform size distribution exhibited a high quantum yield of 0.48 and excellent photostability. The fluorescence of o-CDs was rapidly quenched by doxycycline at room temperature without further modification. Optimal conditions were selected to construct a fluorescence probe with high selectivity and good sensitivity to detect doxycycline. Interestingly, the probe achieved two linear ranges of 0.85--16.7 mu M and 16.7--33.4 mu M with a low detection limit of 0.26 mu M. Furthermore, inner filter effect (IFE) was dominated in the process in which doxycycline interact with the oxygen-containing groups of o-CDs. This sensing platform has been further successfully applied to the detection of doxycycline in milk with recovery rates of 96.8%-102.7% and relative standard deviations of 0.98%-1.02%, suggesting that the novel probe has the potential to be applied in real samples. Moreover, o-CDs directly serve as fluorescence ink and work as fluorescence film using PVA as matrix because of strong fluorescence in the solid state, indicating that they have potential applications in anti-counterfeiting and photovoltaic materials. This is the first report that oil-soluble CDs via pyrolysis is applied in the detection of doxycycline in milk. Importantly, this work provides efficient strategies for the construction of anti-counterfeiting and photovoltaic materials.
