Abstract
In this study, a core-shell structural nano-composite material, namely CdTeS@SiO2, is synthesized by a simple silanization of Te-doped CdS quantum dots (CdTeS QDs). Through SiO2 capping, CdTeS QDs not only improve the fluorescence performance effectively, but also greatly enhance the anti-interference ability in the environment. Based on its excellent optical properties, a novel fluorescence sensor is constructed for the ultramicro detection of Ag+. The fluorescence of CdTeS@SiO2 is strongly quenched in the presence of Ag+ and shows good linearity in the range of 0.005-5.0 μmol L-1 with a detection limit as low as 1.6 nmol L-1. This is mainly due to its unique quenching mechanism: Ag+ destroys the spherical structure of SiO2 and promotes the formation of non-radiative electron-hole pairs through electron transfer, leading to fluorescence quenching. At the same time, it competes with Cd for Te, S and MPA on the CdTeS surface, forming Ag-Te, Ag-S and Ag-MPA complexes attached to the CdTeS surface leading to wavelength red-shift. The feasibility of the proposed sensor is demonstrated through spiking experiments, which confirmed the potential value of the constructed fluorescence probe for real-world applications in detecting Ag+ in environmental water.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 931:172848. [PMID: 38703843 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Water contamination represents a significant ecological impact with global consequences, contributing to water scarcity worldwide. The presence of several pollutants, including heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and pathogens, in water resources underscores a pressing global concern, prompting the European Union (EU) to establish a Water Watch List to monitor the level of these substances. Nowadays, the standard methods used to detect and quantify these contaminants are mainly liquid or gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/GC-MS). While these methodologies offer precision and accuracy, they require expensive equipment and experienced technicians, and cannot be used on the field. In this context, chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs)-based sensors have emerged as promising, user-friendly, practical, and portable tools for environmental monitoring. QDs are semiconductor nanocrystals that possess excellent properties, and have demonstrated versatility across various sensor types, such as fluorescent, electrochemical, plasmonic, and colorimetric ones. This review summarizes recent advances (2019-2023) in the use of chalcogenide QDs for environmental sensing, highlighting the development of sensors capable of detect efficiently heavy metals, anions, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds, organic dyes, toxic gases, nitroaromatics, and pathogens.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) attract the numerous explorations owing to their promising prospects in multiple fields, howbeit, their phosphorescence in aqueous barely lasts for long due to the quenching effects originated from the dissolved oxygen, and thus it is of a great challenge to acquire the water-soluble phosphorescent CDs. We here proposed one kind of solid-state RTP CDs through a microwave strategy using tetraethylenepentamine and phosphoric acid as the precursors. Significantly, we further employed tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the matrix, which could encapsulate the previous CDs, thus facilitating the formation of the compact structure and activating their long-lived and high-efficiency phosphorescence in aqueous. On the basis of their fluorescence and phosphorescence, a dual-signal strategy of detecting tetracycline by CDs@TEOS was successfully established, and this detection exhibited a fluorescent linear-range of 2 nM to 90 μM as well as a phosphorescent linear-range of 30 nM to 300 μM towards assaying tetracycline, broadening the dual-signal ways of assaying tetracycline. Additionally, the CDs prepared here showed the great potential of serving as the RTP ink for the information encryption.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions, one of the major pollutants in the environment, exhibit non-degradable and bio-chain accumulation characteristics, seriously damage the environment, and threaten human health. Traditional heavy metal ion detection methods often require complex and expensive instruments, professional operation, tedious sample preparation, high requirements for laboratory conditions, and operator professionalism, and they cannot be widely used in the field for real-time and rapid detection. Therefore, developing portable, highly sensitive, selective, and economical sensors is necessary for the detection of toxic metal ions in the field. This paper presents portable sensing based on optical and electrochemical methods for the in situ detection of trace heavy metal ions. Progress in research on portable sensor devices based on fluorescence, colorimetric, portable surface Raman enhancement, plasmon resonance, and various electrical parameter analysis principles is highlighted, and the characteristics of the detection limits, linear detection ranges, and stability of the various sensing methods are analyzed. Accordingly, this review provides a reference for the design of portable heavy metal ion sensing.

Abstract
A ratiometric fluorescent probe based on N/S doped carbon dots (N/S-CQDs) and mercaptoacetic acid capped CdTe quantum dots (TGA-CdTe QDs) with sensitized and self-calibration functions was constructed to sensitively detect multiple tetracycline antibiotics (TCs). N/S-CQDs could attach stably to TGA-CdTe QDs and form a new composite ratiometric fluorescent probe that had a more than tenfold increase in sensitivity to TCs compared with each single QD. The probe could detect four common TCs as the color of the probe changed from bright red to dark red, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 1.47 × 10-2-1.78 × 10-2 mg/L. Practical applications of the probe in food and urine were also verified with recovery rates of 95.21%-104.97%. Due to the abundant spectral fingerprints provided by both QDs, this novel probe could accurately recognize not only different single TCs but also mixed TC samples even in actual samples combined with chemometrics.

Abstract
With the widespread application of Ag+ in modern life and industry, the potential hazardous effects of Ag+ to environment and humans have attracted great concerns. Thus, effective and rapid strategies for Ag+ detection are highly desirable. In this paper, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor using CdSe quantum dots (QDs) has been constructed for sensitive and selective detection of Ag+, which is based on the formation of Ag2Se QDs. CdSe QDs were initially prepared and showed single wavelength emission at 510 nm. When Ag+ exists, a rising peak appeared at 650 nm and the emission at 510 nm declined, exhibiting distinct ratiometric fluorescence emission (I650/I510) characteristic with a linear response over the Ag+ concentration range of 0.01-4 μM. Significantly, the fluorescence changed from green to red. The detection limit of the constructed sensor is 1.4 nM. Furthermore, the sensing assay can be successfully applied to detect Ag+ in real water samples and living cells.

Abstract
Many articles have already been published dealing with silver ions and its nanoparticles, but mostly from the environmental and toxicological point of view. This article is a review focused on the various analytical techniques and detection platforms used in the separation and determination of mentioned above species, especially on the trace concentration level. Commonly used are optical methods because of their high sensitivity and easy automation. The separation methods are mainly used for the separation and preconcentration of silver particles. Their combination with other analytical techniques, mainly inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) leads to very low detection limits of analysis. The electrochemical methods are also powerful and perspective mainly because of the fabrication of new sensors designed for silver determination. All methods may be combined with each other to achieve a synergistic improvement of analytical parameters with an impact on sensitivity, selectivity and reliability. The paper comprises a review of all three types of analytical methods on the determination of trace quantities of silver ions and its nanoparticles.

Abstract
P-nitrophenol (4-NP) is the most persistent and highly toxic species among nitrophenol. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe for the detection of 4-NP in aqueous environment was constructed by combining the carbon dots (CQDs) with excellent optical properties and the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with favorable selectivity. The CQDs were synthesized by hydrothermal method using citric acid hydrate as carbon source and o-phenylenediamine as surface modifier, then the molecularly imprinted polymers coating on the CQDs (MIP@CQDs) were obtained by sol-gel imprinting process. The fluorescence quenching of MIP@CQDs is the results of internal filtration effect and dynamic quenching when they encounter with 4-NP. The probe is suitable for the quantitative detection of trace 4-NP in actual aqueous samples, such as tap water, wastewater and seawater, with satisfying recoveries from 95.1 % to 107.8 %, wide detection linear ranges between 0 and 144 μmol/L, low detection limit of 0.41 μmol/L and high selectivity. The detection results are consistent with those of the HPLC method. This work provides a simple, rapid and effective fluorescent detection method for trace 4-NP in aqueous environment.

Abstract
The development of portable and efficient nanoprobes to realize the quantitative/qualitative onsite determination of food pollutants is of immense importance for safeguarding human health and food safety. With the advent of the smartphone, the digital imaging property causes it to be an ideal diagnostic substrate to point-of-care analysis probes. Besides, merging the versatility of carbon dots nanostructures and bioreceptor abilities has opened an innovative assortment of construction blocks to design advanced nanoprobes or improving those existing ones. On this ground, massive endeavors have been made to combine mobile phones with smart nanomaterials to produce portable (bio)sensors in a reliable, low cost, rapid, and even facile-to-implement area with inadequate resources. Herein, this work outlines the latest advancement of carbon dots nanostructures on smartphone for onsite detecting of agri-food pollutants. Particularly, we afford a summary of numerous approaches applied for target molecule diagnosis (pesticides, mycotoxins, pathogens, antibiotics, and metal ions), for instance microscopic imaging, fluorescence, colorimetric, and electrochemical techniques. Authors tried to list those scaffolds that are well-recognized in complex media or those using novel constructions/techniques. Lastly, we also point out some challenges and appealing prospects related to the enhancement of high-efficiency smartphone based carbon dots systems.

Abstract
Growing global environmental pollution problems challenge the need for converting biomass into an advantageous product. In this paper, Lycium ruthenicum is successfully turned into beneficial green emissive (527 nm) fluorescent nitrogen doping carbon dots (N-CDs) via the hydrothermal treatment for the first time. The horizontal and vertical dimensions of N-CDs are demonstrated to be about 4.5 and 0.73 nm, respectively. The N-CDs possess an extremely stable green fluorescence and quantum yield up to 21.8%. Meaningfully, N-CDs exhibit a good linear relationship with Ag+ in the range of 0.7-36 μM, and its detection limit is determined to be 59 nM. The practicability of the fluorescent probe is further validated in lake water and the satisfactory spiked recoveries of Ag+ ranges from 98.99% to 104.19%. Besides, based on the sensitive and selective photoluminescence quenching properties, a smartphone-based laboratory device and RGB analysis software are used to directly capture and analyze fluorescence images with a sensitive detection limit of 83 nM for Ag+. This novel sensor based on N-CDs and smartphone provides a reliable way for on-site monitoring of Ag+ and expands application prospect in the field of environmental pollution detection.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of high sensitive and selective biosensing platforms areessential goals to precisely recognize biomaterials in biological assays. In particular, determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the main energy currency of the cells and one of the most important biomolecules in living organisms is a pressing need in advanced biological detection. Recently, aptamer-based biosensors are introduced as a new direct strategy in which the aptamers (Apts) directly bind to the different targets and detect them on the basis of conformational changes and physical interactions. They can also be conjugated to optical and electronic probes such as quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials and provide unique QD aptasensing platforms. Currently, these Apt-based biosensors with excellent recognition features have attracted extensive attention due to the high specificity, rapid response and facile construction. Therefore, in this review article, recent achievements and advances in aptasensing detection of ATP based on different detection methods and types of QDs are discussed. In this regard, the optical and electrochemical aptasensors have been categorized based on detection methods; fluorescence (FL), electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) and they have been also divided to two main groups based on QDs; metal-based (M-based) and carbon-based (C-based) materials. Then, their advantages and limitations have been highlighted, compared and discussed in detail.

[PMID: 34857381 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has severe threats to the ecological environment and human health. Thus, it is urgent to achieve the rapid, selective, sensitive and portable detection of heavy metal ions. To overcome the defects of traditional methods such as time-consuming, low sensitivity, high cost and complicated operation, QDs (Quantum dots)-based nanomaterials have been used in sensors to significantly improve the sensing performance. Due to their excellent physicochemical properties, high specific surface area, high adsorption and reactive capacity, nanomaterials could act as potential probes or offer enhanced sensitivity and create a promising nanosensors platform. In this review, the rapidly advancing types of QDs for heavy metal ions detection are first summarized. Modified with ligands, nanomaterials, or biomaterials, QDs are assembled on sensors by the interaction of electrostatic adsorption, chemical bonding, steric hindrance, and base-pairing. The stability of QDs-based nanosensors is improved by doping the elements to QDs, providing the reference substance, optimizing the assemble strategies and so on. Then, according to transducer principles, the two most typical sensor categories based on QDs: optical and electrochemical sensors are highlighted to be discussed. In the meanwhile, portable devices combining with QDs to adapt the practical detection in complex situations are summarized. The deficiencies and future challenges of QDs in toxicity, specificity, portability, multi-metal co-detection and degradation during the detection are also pointed out. In the end, the development trends of QDs-based nanosensors for heavy metal ions detection are discussed. This review presents an overall understanding, recent advances, current challenges and future outlook of QDs-based nanosensors for heavy metal detection.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) and carbon quantum dots (CDs) are classes of zero-dimensional materials whose sizes can be ≤10 nm. They exhibit excellent optical properties and are widely used to prepare fluorescent probes for qualitative and quantitative detection of test objects. In this article, we used cerium chloride as the cerium source and used the in situ doped cerium (rare-earth element) to develop cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots following the aqueous phase method. CdTe: Ce quantum dots were successfully synthesized. The solution of CdTe:Ce QDs was mixed with the CD solution prepared following the green microwave method to form a ratio fluorescence sensor that can be potentially used for the selective detection of mercury ions (Hg2+). We used transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and other microscopy and spectral characterization techniques to validate that Ce had been successfully doped. The test results on the fluorescence performance revealed that Ce doping enhances the predoped fluorescence performance of the CdTe QDs. We have quantitatively detected Hg2+ using a ratiometric fluorescence sensor to show that in the range of 10-60 nM, the fluorescence quenching efficiency increases linearly with the increase in Hg2+ concentration. The linear correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.9978, and its detection limit was found to be 2.63 nM L-1. It was observed that other interfering ions do not significantly affect the fluorescence intensity of the probe. According to the results of the blank addition experiment, the developed proportional fluorescence probe can be used for the detection of Hg2+ in actual samples.

Abstract
In this work, a simple and green synthetic approach of novel guanine decorated carbon dots (G-CDs) using guanosine 5'-monophosphate and ethylenediamine through a domestic microwave oven was established for the first time. The as-prepared fluorescent G-CDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The obtained fluorescent G-CDs with a uniform morphology had desirable functional groups and excellent optical performances. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of G-CDs was remarkably quenched by Ag+ than that of other nucleotides-derived CDs. The density functional theory calculations were performed to confirm that the strong interaction of guanine-Ag+ was responsible for the remarkable fluorescence response of G-CDs towards Ag+. In addition, as a label-free fluorescence probe, the G-CDs displayed a good linear detection for highly selective Ag+ sensing over the range of 0-80 μM with the low detection limit of 90 nM. Therefore, the proposed G-CDs had the capacity for Ag+ detection in the real samples.

Abstract
P-nitrophenol (PNP) has been widely applied to industry processing for many purposes, but the persistence and toxicity of residuum may pose risks to human health. To analyze PNP in industrial and agricultural wastewater, a versatile fluorescent probe sensing platform was proposed. In this work, we devised a fluorescence approach that utilized nitrogen, silicon co-doped carbon dots (N,Si-CDs) to monitor PNP originating from the inner filter effect (IFE). The N,Si-CDs were generated in a one-step hydrothermal synthesis, and which possessed outstanding fluorescence signal and water-dispersity. Emission at 441 nm was monitored with excitation at 360 nm using a common spectrofluorometer. The method achieved an exceptionally low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.011 μM. Furthermore, this method not only eliminates the interference from metal ions and acid ions, but also provides a potential application prospect for N,Si-CDs in the field of water monitoring. Analysis of tap and lake water led to 93.30-106.30% recoveries and <1% relative standard deviation at 2.5-25 μM PNP concentrations.

Abstract
A simple and fast method for copper ions (Cu2+) and silver ions (Ag+) detection was established with cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) as fluorescent probes. In the presence of Cu2+ or Ag+, the fluorescence intensity of TGA-CdTe QD can be significantly quenched, which fitted a linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching degree (F0-F)/F0 and the concentration of metal ions. In this work, the lowest detected concentration for Cu2+ and Ag+ was 35.0 nM and 25.3 nM, respectively. In addition, the differentiation of Cu2+ and Ag+ at different concentrations was realized with the principal component analysis (PCA). Furthermore, Cu2+ was successfully detected in body fluids. This method provides a good potential for copper ions and silver ions detection with simplicity, rapidity, and excellent selectivity.

Abstract
Silver ions, as a commonly used industrial heavy metal, tends to deposit in the body and induce many diseases. In this work, modified CdTe QDs with green and red emission were synthesized to assemble dual-QDs, which could be efficient and selective utilized for Ag+ determination through the electron transfer progress between surface functional group of dual-QDs and Ag+, and the aggregation of Ag+ on the surface of dual-QDs. Under the appropriate pH value and volume ratio, the interaction between the surface functional groups of assembled dual-QDs reduce the affinity of Hg2+ in this system. The fluorescent signal of dual-QDs simultaneously attenuation or enhancement in the same proportion remove the interference of Cu2+ and other metal ions. Therefore, this method can selectively detect Ag+ without any masking agents. The linear region of detection was from 0 to 800 nmol/L (R2 > 0.998), and low of detection (LOD) was 7.7 nmol/L, which could meet the corresponding standards of World Health Organization (WHO) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This effective proposed dual-QDs ratios fluorescent probe has been applied to detect Ag+ in real environment water, tea and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) water.

Abstract
Depression is immensely attributed to the overactivation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor in the brains. As regulatory binding partners of NMDA receptor, both Zn2+ and H+ are intimately interrelated to NMDA receptor's activity. Therefore, exploring synergistic changes on the levels of Zn2+ and H+ in brains will promote the knowledge and treatment of depression. However, the lack of efficient, appropriate imaging tools limits simultaneously tracking Zn2+ and H+ in living mouse brains. Thus, a well-designed dual-color fluorescent probe (DNP) was fabricated for the simultaneous monitoring of Zn2+ and H+ in the brains of mice with depression. Encountering Zn2+, the probe evoked bright blue fluorescence at 460 nm. Meanwhile, the red fluorescence at 680 nm was decreased with H+ addition. With blue/red dual fluorescence signal of DNP, we observed the synchronous increased Zn2+ and H+ in PC12 cells under oxidative stress. Notably, in vivo imaging for the first time revealed the simultaneous reduction of Zn2+ and pH in brains of mice with depression-like behaviors. Further results implied that the NMDA receptor might be responsible for the coinstantaneous fluctuation of Zn2+ and H+ during depression. Altogether, this work is conducive to the knowledge of neural signal transduction mechanisms, advancing our understanding of the pathogenesis in depression.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensor array is a sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive detection technology which simulates human olfaction system based on various organic dyes. In this work, a sensor array based on acid-sensitive CdTe QDs coupled with chemometrics method was developed and proved to be a rapid, accurate and sensitive method for identification of 32 kinds of Chinese traditional cereal vinegars (CTCV). The specificity of identification of this method was mainly depends on the organic acids and melanoidins of CTCV. Among them, organic acids can quench the fluorescence of QDs through enhancing their electron transfer (hydrogen bond) and resonance energy transfer, and the fluorescence intensity of melanoidin was closely related to the brewing technology and aging year of CTCV. The types and aging time of 32 CTCV can be 100% identified at a dilution of 1000 by partial least squares discriminant analysis, when the latent variables were 4. And only one kind of QDs is needed instead of various organic dyes to this kind of colorimetric sensor array. Except for vinegar, this method can also be used in the identification of other food which rich in organic acid.

In this work, the formation of C–Ag+–C bonding between cytosines was utilized to induce interparticle coupling of gold nanoparticles modified with single-strand DNA, resulting in a color change as the signal transduction to quantify Ag+ sensitively under dark-field microscopy imaging, while we achieved the quantification of Ag+ could be directly realized in lake water samples and drug samples.
