The rapid and sensitive detection of heavy metal ions is crucial for food safety and the environment. Carbon quantum dots-based probes, M-CQDs, and P-CQDs, were developed for the detection of Hg2+ using fluorescence resonance energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer mechanisms. The M-CQDs exhibited fluorescence quenching, while the P-CQDs showed fluorescence enhancement upon the addition of Hg2+. Paper-based chips modified with M/P-CQDs were successfully used for visual Hg2+ sensing, enabling real-time detection in tap water and river water samples.
The rapid and sensitive detection of heavy metal ions is of great importance in food safety and for the environment. Therefore, two novel probes, M-CQDs and P-CQDs, based on carbon quantum dots were utilized to detect Hg2+ based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer mechanisms. The M-CQDs were prepared from folic acid and m-phenylenediamine (mPDA) using a hydrothermal method. Similarly, the novel P-CQDs were obtained according to the same synthetic procedure used to create M-CQDs except the mPDA was replaced with p-phenylenediamine (pPDA). Upon the addition of Hg2+ to the M-CQDs probe, the fluorescence intensity reduced significantly with a linear concentration range between 5 and 200 nM. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 2.15 nM. On the contrary, the fluorescence intensity of the P-CQDs was enhanced greatly after the addition of Hg2+. The Hg2+ detection was realized with a wide linear range from 100 to 5000 nM and the LOD was calculated to be as low as 52.5 nM. The fluorescence quenching and enhancing effect exhibited by the M-CQDs and P-CQDs, respectively, is due to the different distribution of -NH2 in the mPDA and pPDA precursors. Notably, paper-based chips modified with M/P-CQDs were established for visual Hg2+ sensing, demonstrating the possibility for real-time detection of Hg2+. Moreover, the practicality of this system was confirmed through the successful measurement of Hg2+ in tap water and river water samples.
