This paper reports the carbonization assisted green approach for the fabrication of nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQPs). The obtained N-GQDs displayed good water dispersibility and stability in the wide pH range. The as synthesized N-GQps were used as a fluorescent probe for the sensing of explosive 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) in aqueous medium based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), molecular interactions and charge transfer mechanism. The quenching efficiency was found to be linear in proportion to the TNP concentration within the range of 0-16 mu M with detection limit (LOD) of 0.92 mu M. The presented method was successfully applied to the sensing of TNP in tap and lake water samples with satisfactory results. Thus, N-GQps were used as a selective, sensitive and turn off fluorescent sensor for the detection of perilous water contaminant i.e. TNP. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
