A novel sensing concept based on boron nitride quantum dots and copper ions is proposed for monitoring dopamine concentration through the in situ formation of polydopamine, showing excellent selectivity and detection limit. The experimental results demonstrate good reproducibility and stability of the proposed sensing system for assessing dopamine in human plasma samples.
Monitoring the concentration of dopamine (DA) is vital for preventing and diagnosing DA related diseases. In contrast to the traditional sensing methods for DA, in which direct or indirect effects on the optical probes are often recorded, a novel sensing concept is disclosed based on as a result of the in situ formation of polydopamine (PDA) originating from the synergetic effect between boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) and Cu2+. In the co-presence of BNQDs and Cu2+, DA was catalytically oxidized to PDA, accompanied by an obvious color change from colorless to brown. In contrast to previous reports, in which BNQDs have been employed as an optical probe, herein, the BNQDs not only acted as the optical energy donor, but also as the catalysts for the formation of PDA. The quenching efficiency resulting from the inner filter effect and the electron transfer between the BNQDs and PDA was directly proportional to the concentration of DA, ranging linearly from 2 to 80 mu M with a limit of detection of 0.49 mu M. The present system exhibited an outstanding selectivity for DA among other interfering coexisting biomolecules. Furthermore, the practical application of the proposed platform was verified by assaying DA in human plasma samples, and satisfactory recoveries ranging from 101.24% to 111.98% were obtained. With the satisfactory reliability, repeatability and stability, the proposed simple sensor showed significant potential for use in DA detection in other biomedical applications.
