In situ microwave-assisted preparation of NS-codoped carbon dots stabilized silver nanoparticles as an off-on fluorescent probe for trace Hg 2+ detection. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139451. [PMID: 37451632 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
An off-on fluorescent probe (NS-CDs-AgNPs) was synthesized based on a one-pot microwave process by utilizing N, S co-doping carbon dots (NS-CDs) and silver nitrate as precursors. The significant peak of NS-CDs-AgNPs at 393 nm in ultraviolet spectrum indicated silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized. A faint blue fluorescence emission (442 nm) was displayed when excited NS-CDs-AgNPs at 371 nm. A remarkable fluorescence recovery was observed upon adding of trance Hg2+, whereas the other heavy metal ions did not elicit this response. The reason for this phenomenon was revealed in this work that a spontaneous redox reaction occurred between NS-CDs-AgNPs and Hg2+, which leaded to the formation of NS-CDs-Agn-2NPsHg complexes. On the basis of this mechanism, a new off-on fluorescent analytical method was constructed for Hg2+ detection with linear range of 10-400 nM (R2 = 0.9941), and the detection limit (LOD) of 5.16 nM. Additionally, satisfactory recovery (90.28%-106.13%) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) (RSD<5.21%) were obtained in water sample detection. More importantly, the NS-CDs-AgNPs exhibited lower cytotoxicity and better biocompatibility, indicating a huge potential in cell imaging and clinical medicine.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted fluorescent carbon dots (MI-FCDs) find numerous applications in analytical chemistry due to their outstanding photoluminescent properties and having specific pockets for the recognition of target molecules. Despite significant advances, practical applications of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors are still in their initial stages. Therefore, the topical developments in the synthesis, working, and application of MI-FCDs for sensing various target species (e.g., pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, pesticides, food additives, and miscellaneous species) in food and biological media have been highlighted. Moreover, a careful evaluation has been made to select the best methods based on their performance in terms of analytical parameters. To expand the horizons of this field, important challenges and future directions for developing MI-FCDs for practical use are also presented. This review will highlight important aspects of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors for their applicability in food science, material science, environmental science, nanoscience, and biotechnology.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescence carbon dots (CDs) that serve as probes have attracted more attention on account of their unique optical properties, low toxicity, anti-interference, and internal reference. However, the facile fabrication of CDs with the aim of detecting multiple targets through mutually independent response channels is always a challenge. Herein, multifunctional label-free N-doped ratiometric fluorescence CDs (N-CDs) are developed from tea leaves extract and o-phenylenediamine by a mild solvothermal method. The prepared N-CDs are tailored with nitrogen- and oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface and contribute to splendid hydrophilia. Two completely independent ratiometric fluorescence channels of N-CDs, respectively, respond to Hg2+ and H2O in a mutually independent manner. Based on the interactions of N-Hg and O-Hg, N-CDs achieve an excellently sensitive and selective detection for Hg2+ in the channel of I387 nm/I351 nm, giving a linear relationship in the range of 0-50 μM. Also, a wide range of Hg2+ concentration (0-100 μM) is linear to A374 nm through UV-vis assay. Otherwise, the linear determination of H2O content (0-30%) is realized in another channel (Igreen/Iblue). The good performance in the independent testing of Hg2+ and H2O, demonstrate that the proposed N-CDs have potential in multifunctional detection.

Abstract
The fabrication of efficient fluorescent probes that possess an excellent sensitivity and selectivity for uric acid is highly desirable and challenging. In this study, composites of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) wrapped with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) were synthesised utilising N-CQDs as the reducing and stabilising agents in a single reaction with AgNO3. The morphology and structure, absorption properties, functional groups, and fluorescence properties were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. In addition, we developed a novel method based on AgNPs/N-CQDs for the detection of uric acid using the enzymatic reaction of uric acid oxidase. The fluorescence enhancement of the AgNPs/N-CQDs composite was linear (R2 = 0.9971) in the range of 2.0–60 μmol/L, and gave a detection limit of 0.53 μmol/L. Trace uric acid was successfully determined in real serum samples from the serum of 10 healthy candidates and 10 gout patients, and the results were consistent with those recorded by Qianxinan Prefecture People’s Hospital. These results indicate that the developed AgNP/N-CQD system can provide a universal platform for detecting the multispecies ratio fluorescence of H2O2 generation in other biological systems.

Abstract
Red-light-emitting silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are recently emerged as a promising nanoprobe in the field of biomedical applications, because of their attractive properties, including brightness, luminescence stability, and better biocompatibility. In this report, we have developed highly water-soluble red-light-emitting AgNCs by using N-cholyl d-penicilamine (NCPA) as a biosurfactant at above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) at room temperature. Moreover, the NCPA was initially synthesized by demonstrating the reaction between cholic acid and d-penicilamine via a simple coupling reaction strategy. The primary and secondary critical micellar concentration (CMC) of NCPA surfactant was measured using pyrene (1 × 10-6 M) as a fluorescent probe, and the values were found to be 3.18 and 10.6 mM, respectively. Steady-state fluorescence measurements reveal that the prepared AgNCs shows the excitation and emission maxima at 365 and 672 nm, respectively, with a large Stokes shift (307 nm). The average lifetime measurements and quantum yield of the AgNCs were calculated to be 143.43 ns and 16.34%, respectively. Also, the red luminescent NCPA-templated AgNCs was synthesized in various protic and aprotic polar solvents, among which DMF and DMSO exhibit bright emission at longer wavelength as synthesized in aqueous medium. At higher concentration of AgNO3, bright luminescent and highly stable solid AgNCs was obtained with excitation and emission maxima at 607 and 711 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the synthesized AgNCs has been successfully utilized as a fluorescent probe for selective and sensitive detection of S2- ions at nanomolar level in water samples, showing its potential applicability for the detection of S2- ions in drinking, river, and tap water samples. Finally, toxicity and bioimaging studies of NCPA-templated AgNCs was demonstrated using zebrafish as in vivo model, showing no significant toxicity up to 200 μL/mL. The AgNCs-stained embryos exhibited red fluorescence with high intensity, which shows that AgNCs are stable in a living system.

Abstract
Sensing is one of the most important fields in which chemists, engineers and other scientists are involved to realize sensoristic devices that can detect different analytes, both chemicals and biologicals. In this context, fluorescence sensing paves the way for the realization of smart sensoristic devices due to the possibility to detect the target analyte via a change in colour or emission. Recently (since 2006), carbon nanoparticles, which are a "new class" of nanostructures based on carbon atoms, have been widely used in sensing applications due to their intriguing optical properties. The scientific literature on this topic started from 2006 and a progressive increase in the corresponding number of publications has been observed. This review summarises the application of carbon nanoparticles in the sensing field, focusing on chemical and ion sensing.

Abstract
Fabrication of dual-emitting materials for H2S sensing under environmental and biological conditions is currently of great interest. In this work, a new chemically stable metal supramolecular complex [Zn2(pda)2(H2O)3]·(H2O)0.5 (Znpda, pda = 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid), with accessible uncoordinated carboxylic oxygen sites, is solvothermally synthesized. It can serve as a host in luminescent hybrid composites. By incorporating Eu3+ and Cu2+ in the supramolecular coordination network, we obtained the dual-emitting hybrid material Eu3+/Cu2+@Znpda, which simultaneously shows intense ligand and weak Eu3+ emissions in HEPES buffer solution. Since H2S can easily chelate with Cu2+ and recover the blocked "antenna effect" between the ligand and Eu3+, Eu3+/Cu2+@Znpda possesses both the turn-on and ratiomectric fluorescence response to H2S. Accordingly, we designed an IMPLICATION logic gate for H2S recognition by employing the fluorescence intensity ratio between the ligand and Eu3+ as the output signal. In addition, Eu3+/Cu2+@Znpda shows a fast response (<1 min) and high sensitivity (1.45 μM) to H2S over other interfering species in the HEPES buffer solution, highlighting its potential use for H2S sensing under environmental and biological conditions.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive fluorescence turn-off-on sensor was established by means of S,N co-doped carbon dots (S,N-CDs) and Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the determination of Hg2+ . For this purpose, blue emissive S,N-CDs were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We observed that the fluorescence intensity of the as-prepared S,N-CDs was impressively quenched by AgNPs. The quenching mechanism was studied and attributed to nanosurface energy transfer and the inner filter effect between S,N-CDs and AgNPs. Furthermore, by adding Hg2+ , the fluorescence intensity of S,N-CDs/AgNPs was restored as a result of aggregation of AgNPs in the presence of Hg2+ . Based on these facts, S,N-CDs and AgNPs were exploited to design a sensitive turn-off-on sensor for analysis of Hg2+ . The recovered fluorescence signal was proportional to the concentration of Hg2+ in the range 1.5-2000 nM with a detection limit of 0.51 nM. The established sensor was used with satisfactory results for measurement of Hg2+ in environmental water samples.

Abstract
In the current work, a silver nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped carbon dots (AgNPs/NCDs) nanocomposite was prepared by a microwave-assisted method that does not require additional reducing or stabilizing agents. Multiple analytical techniques were used to characterize the prepared nanocomposite. The nanocomposite exhibited a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak at 420 nm, indicating the development of AgNPs with NCDs. Further, HRTEM results confirmed the formation of the nanocomposite with the appearance of lattice fringes of both materials. Additionally, the nanocomposite did not show any precipitation even after two months of storage. The nanocomposite exhibited high catalytic activity towards the reduction of rhodamine B (RhB, 98.83%), methyl red (MR, 97.14%) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP, 99.95%) at ambient temperature. Besides, the kinetic analysis revealed that the reduction reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and the calculated rate constants (k) for rhodamine B (RhB), methyl red (MR) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) were found to be 0.0296 s-1, 0.0233 s-1 and 0.029 s-1, respectively. Moreover, it is a reusable and stable catalyst for reduction reactions up to five cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity. Finally, a plausible mechanism for the reduction of pollutants is also discussed in detail. As a whole, the prepared nanocomposite might display stunning behaviour for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
This study used the carbon dots solution for the laser ablation technique to fabricate silver nanoparticles. The ablation time range was from 5 min to 20 min. Analytical methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were used to categorize the prepared samples. The UV-visible and z-scan techniques provided optical parameters such as linear and nonlinear refractive indices in the range of 1.56759 to 1.81288 and 7.3769 × 10-10 cm2 W-1 to 9.5269 × 10-10 cm2 W-1 and the nonlinear susceptibility was measured in the range of 5.46 × 10-8 to 6.97 × 10-8 esu. The thermal effusivity of prepared samples, which were measured using the photoacoustic technique, were in the range of 0.0941 W s1/2 cm-2 K-1 to 0.8491 W s1/2 cm-2 K-1. The interaction of the prepared sample with fluoride was investigated using a Raman spectrometer. Consequently, the intensity of the Raman signal decreased with the increasing concentration of fluoride, and the detection limit is about 0.1 ppm.

Abstract
Great advances have been made in sensor-based methods for chemical analysis owing to their high sensitivity, selectivity, less testing time, and minimal usage of chemical reagents. Quantum Dots (QDs) having excellent optical properties have been thoroughly explored for variety of scientific applications wherein light plays an important role. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of publications on the applications of QDs as photoluminescent nanosensors for the detection of chemicals and biomolecules. However, there has been hardly any publication describing the use of QDs in the detection of various toxic chemicals at one place. Hence, a literature survey has been made on the applications of QDs as chemosensors for the detection of gaseous, anionic, phenolic, metallic, drug-overdose, and pesticide poison so as to open a new perspective towards the role of sensors in analytical toxicology. In this review, the QD-based analysis of biospecimens for poison detection in clinical and forensic toxicology laboratories is highlighted.

Abstract
Design and synthesis of fluorescent probe with fast response, excellent water solubility and good hepatocyte-targeting capacity to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in hepatocytes and water samples is of great significance. Here, a novel fluorescent probe QL-Gal-N3 for detection of H2S was designed and synthesized based on H2S-mediated azide reduction strategy. This sensor demonstrated low toxicity, fast response (within 1 min), high selectivity and low detection limit (as low as 126 nM in water) for the detection of H2S. HeLa, A549 and HepG-2 cells were chosen to investigate the hepatocyte-targeting ability of QL-Gal-N3 respectively. The results indicated that the specific recognition of ASGPR over-expressed in hepatocytes by galactose group was an important reason for the good targeting ability of probe QL-Gal-N3. Furthermore, due to the introduction of glycosyl moiety, the water solubility of fluorescent probe was enhanced obviously. It was successfully applied for the detection of H2S in environmental water samples including river water, tap water, lake water and waste water.

Abstract
Despite widely reported fluorescence sensors for cations, direct detection of anions is nevertheless still rare. In this work, ionic liquid-functionalized fluorescent carbon nanoribbons (IL-CNRs) are one-step synthesized and serve as the fluorescent probes for direct and sensitive detection of sulfide ions (S2−). The IL-CNRs are synthesized based on electrochemical exfoliation of graphite rods in a water-IL biphasic system. The as-prepared IL-CNRs exhibit uniform structure, high crystallinity, strong blue fluorescence (absolute photoluminescence quantum yield of 11.4%), and unique selectivity towards S2−. Based on the fluorescence quenching of IL-CNRs by S2−, a fluorescence sensor is developed for direct, rapid and sensitive detection of S2− in the range of 100 nM to 1 μM and 1–300 μM with a low detection limit (LOD, 85 nM). Moreover, detection of S2− in a real sample (tap water) is also demonstrated. Sensitive detection of sulfide ions is realized based on one-step synthesis of ionic liquid functionalized fluorescent carbon nanoribbons.![]()
