[PMID: 38454022 PMCID: PMC10920748 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-54683-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC) and nitrite (NT) are considered aquatic environmental pollutants. They are highly toxic, harm humans' health, and damage the environment. Thus, in the present work we introduce a simple and efficient electrochemical sensor for determination of HQ, CC, and NT simultaneously in wastewater sample. The sensor is fabricated by modifying the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by two successive thin films from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and a mixture of carbon nanotubes-graphene oxide (CNT-GRO). Under optimized conditions the HQ, CC, and NT are successfully detected simultaneously in wastewater sample with changing their concentrations in the ranges (0.04 → 100 µM), (0.01 → 100 µM) and (0.05 → 120 µM), the detection limits are 8.5 nM, 3.8 nM and 6.1 nM, respectively. Good potential peak separations: 117 mV and 585 mV are obtained between the HQ-CC, and CC-NT. The sensor has an excellent catalytic capability toward the oxidation of HQ, CC, and NT due to good synergism between its composite components: PEDOT, GRO and CNTs. The features of the sensor are large active surface area, good electrical conductivity, perfect storage stability, good reproducibility, anti-interference capability and accepted recovery rate for HQ, CC, and NT determination in wastewater sample.

Abstract
In this study, a test strip for fluorometric analysis of iron ion (Fe3+) was constructed based on nitrogen, zinc and copper codoped carbon dots (NZC-CDs) as fluorescence probes. NZC-CDs were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology, size, components, crystal state and optical properties of NZC-CDs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, respectively. NZC-CDs exhibited bright blue fluorescence under UV lamp with a quantum yield at 17.76%. The fluorescence of NZC-CDs was quenched by Fe3+possibly due to the static quenching. The possible fluorescence quenching mechanism was also discussed. The quenching fluorescence was linear with the concentration of Fe3+in the range of 2.5-400μM with a low detection limit of 0.5μM. For the convenient detection, the test strips based on filter paper were employed for Fe3+assay. Moreover, the present approach was successfully applied in the determination of Fe3+in real samples including black fungus, duck blood and pork liver. The sensing method had the potential application in more food analysis.

Abstract
Water contamination with harmful ions has grown to be a significant environmental issue on a global scale. Therefore, the fabrication of simple, cost-effective, and reliable sensors is essential for identifying these ions. Herein, co-doping of carbon dots with new caffeine and H3BO3-derived boron (B) and nitrogen (N) was performed (BN@CDs). The as-prepared BN@CDs probe was used for the tandem fluorescence sensing of Al3+ and F- based on "ON-OFF-ON" switches. The BN@CDs nanoswitch has a high quantum yield of 44.8% with λexc. and λem. of 360 nm and 440 nm, respectively. The probe exhibited good stability with different pH, ionic-strengths, and irradiation times. The fluorescence emission of BN@CDs was decreased as the Al3+ concentration was increased with a linear range of 0.03-90 μM and a limit of detection (S/N = 3) equal to 9.0 nM. Addition of F- restored the BN@CDs emission as F- ions form a strong and stable complex with Al3+ ions [Al(OH)3F]-. Therefore, the ratio response (F/F°) was raised by raising the F- ion concentration to the range of 0.18-80 μM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 50.0 nM. The BN@CDs sensor exhibits some advantages over other reported methods in terms of simplicity, high quantum yield, and low detection limit. Importantly, the sensor was successfully applied to determine Al3+ and F- in various ecological water specimens with accepted results.

Abstract
Carbon dots are popular luminescent materials because of their excellent fluorescence properties, but the low quantum yield limits their application. Heteroatom doping is a more convenient and popular approach to increase the quantum yield of carbon dots. Here, novel N,S,P heteroatom co-doped carbon dots (N,S,P-CDs) were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method using m-phenylenediamine, L-cysteine and phosphoric acid as raw materials. The as-prepared N,S,P-CDs showed excellent photoluminescence properties with a fluorescence quantum yield of up to 41%, which greatly encourages their application in fluorescence sensing. The N,S,P-CDs exhibited good fluorescence stability under salt solution, xenon lamp irradiation and ultraviolet lamp irradiation except for a high sensitivity to extreme acidity. The fluorescence intensity of the N,S,P-CDs can be decreased by as much as 85% when the pH of the solution changes from 2.50 to 4.75, that is, a small fluctuation in pH can cause an intense response of the fluorescence of the N,S,P-CDs. Therefore, an excellent fluorescence sensing platform for accurately monitoring the pH of extreme acidity has been constructed. In addition, the N,S,P-CDs can be applied for quantitative detection of folic acid based on the strong quenching effect of folic acid on the fluorescence of the N,S,P-CDs. Good linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 4.85-82.45 μM, with a detection limit of 0.148 μM. The constructed sensing platform was used for the determination of folic acid in actual samples of orange juice, oatmeal and tablets with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Exposure to hydroquinone (HQ) can cause various health hazards and negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, we developed an efficient electrochemical sensor to detect and quantify HQ based on palladium nanoparticles deposited in a porous silicon-polypyrrole-carbon black nanocomposite (Pd@PSi-PPy-C)-fabricated glassy carbon electrode. The structural and morphological characteristics of the newly fabricated Pd@PSi-PPy-C nanocomposite were investigated utilizing FESEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, XRD, and FTIR spectroscopy. The exceptionally higher sensitivity of 3.0156 μAμM-1 cm-2 and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.074 μM were achieved for this innovative electrochemical HQ sensor. Applying this novel modified electrode, we could detect wide-ranging HQ (1-450 μM) in neutral pH media. This newly fabricated HQ sensor showed satisfactory outcomes during the real sample investigations. During the analytical investigation, the Pd@PSi-PPy-C/GCE sensor demonstrated excellent reproducibility, repeatability, and stability. Hence, this work can be an effective method in developing a sensitive electrochemical sensor to detect harmful phenol derivatives for the green environment.

Abstract
Recently, carbon dots (CDs) have exhibited promising applications in the fluorescence detection of various ions and biomolecules. In this work, one kind of nitrogen-doped CDs (N-CDs) with high fluorescence intensity was synthesized, characterized by transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, UV-vis absorption spectra, and fluorescence spectra. The results show that the spherical and uniform N-CDs (quantum yield: 60.2%) have remarkable fluorescence properties and photostability, which makes N-CDs can be utilized as an 'on-off-on' sensor for Hg2+and glutathione (GSH). In addition, the pH-sensitive behavior of N-CDs makes it also applicable to H+detection under acid conditions (pKa = 3.53). The linear range of the 'turn-off' sensor detecting Hg2+was 0.014-50μM, with a 0.014μM limit of detection (LOD). GSH was detected by the fluorescence 'turn-on' method with a linear range of 0.125-60μM and a LOD of 0.125μM. The outstanding performance of N-CDs makes it potential applications in ecological pollution and biomolecule visualization monitoring.

Abstract
It was the first time to report the aggregation induced emission (AIE) of acetaldehyde (AA) on the surface of carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) with the auxiliary of Tb3+. Based on the AIE of AA, a turn-off-on fluorescence method was established for AA detection using the porous CPDs-Tb3+ system. The one-pot hydrothermal method was used to obtain CPDs, using milk and polyethyleneimine (PEI) as precursors. In the presence of Tb3+, CPDs aggregated immediately and even forming precipitate, and the fluorescence intensity decreased obviously. AA can effectively embed on the surface of CPDs-Tb3+ due to the porous structure. AA displayed obviously blue fluorescence with excitation wavelength at 370 nm (emission peak at 460 nm), while there was no fluorescence peak when excited at 460 nm. In the CPDs-Tb3+ solution, AA exhibits obvious fluorescence enhancement effect (λex 460 nm, λem 545 nm). And then, AA can be determined by the turn-off-on system based on the linear relationship between fluorescence enhancement and the concentration of AA ranging from 0.04 mM to 42.48 mM. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.02 mM. The turn-off-on system was successfully applied to determine AA in wine samples. The strategy may be exploited to monitor AA in more drinking or foodstuff samples.

Abstract
Hydroquinone (HQ) is poorly degradable in the ecological environment and is highly toxic to human health even at a low concentration. The colorimetric method has the advantages of low cost and fast analysis, which provides the possibility for simple and rapid detection of HQ. In this work, a new colorimetric method has been developed for HQ detection based on a peroxidase-like catalyst, α-Fe2O3@CoNi. This sweetsop-like α-Fe2O3@CoNi catalyst enables H2O2 to produce hydroxyl (˙OH), leading to the oxidization of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB. In the presence of HQ, the blue oxTMB is reduced to colorless, which allows for colorimetric detection of HQ in water samples. This method has been validated by detecting HQ in water samples with high selectivity, rapid response, broad detection range (0.50 to 30 μM), and low detection limit (0.16 μM).

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon dots derived from natural biomass have received widespread attention in recent years due to their superior optical and chemical properties. In this work, we proposed a method to synthesize fluorescent nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (NSP-CDs) using biomass waste as a precursor. The blue emitting carbon dots were prepared from the seeds of green pepper, and Fe3+ ions could quench the fluorescence of NSP-CDs. Therefore, a fluorescent "turn-off" sensor based on NSP-CDs was constructed for the detection of Fe3+ ions. Further, NSP-CDs were evaluated as a fluorescent biosensor for the detection of Fe3+ in tap water and lake water samples, showing their potential value in practical applications. The cytotoxicity test further confirmed that NSP-CDs have good biocompatibility and can be extended to cell imaging and intracellular Fe3+ detection. The proposed method is simple, economical and green, which can meet the requirements of environmental monitoring and biological imaging.

Abstract
Herein, a novel ratio fluorescence method based on N/P-doped carbon dots (NPCDs) for detecting 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in mesalazine enteric coated tablets and blood were reported for the first time. NPCDs were successfully prepared through a simple one-step hydrothermal strategy by employing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and p-toluidine as raw materials. NPCDs exhibit bright blue emissions with excitation/emission peaks at 340/423 nm with moderate quantum yield (20.75%). In addition, 5-ASA has a certain weak fluorescence emission peak at 487 nm. Adding 5-ASA into NPCDs significantly enhanced the fluorescence intensity, which may result from aggregation induced emission (AIE) of 5-ASA on the surface of NPCDs. Therefore, NPCDs only provide self-calibration signals, and their fluorescence remains almost unchanged when co-existing with 5-ASA. Therefore, the ratio of fluorescence at F487/F423 was used for detection of 5-ASA. For the fluorometric determination assay, there was a good linear relationship between F487/F423 and 5-ASA concentration between 0.50 and 130 μM (R2 = 0.9979). The detection limit was about 0.13 μM. Therefore, this method is simple, sensitive and low cost, and will be successfully applied to the detection of 5-ASA in drugs. Herein, a novel ratio fluorescence method based on N/P-doped carbon dots (NPCDs) for detecting 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in mesalazine enteric coated tablets and blood were reported for the first time.![]()

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) with different doping elements were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal strategy. 3-amino-4-chlorophenylboronic acid, 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid, aniline, and benzene were used as precursors, respectively. The B/N co-doping CDs (BNCDs) derived from 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid show brightest fluorescence among the CDs products with quantum yield at 0.15. The fluorescence of BNCDs exhibits good photostability and excitation-independent emission behavior. The bright blue emission of BNCDs can be quenched by serine, which is a kind of neutral aliphatic amino acid containing hyroxyl groups with polarity. It is possibly due to the molecular collision between excited state of BNCDs and the ground state of serine. BNCDs can be served as fluorophore probe for the assay of serine based on the efficient quenching effect. The approach for the determination of serine shows a high sensitivity with a detection limit at 0.14 nM, which is lower than those of previous works. Furthermore, the present BNCDs system can be employed to monitor serine in real food and biological samples. The strategy may be a potential way for the application in food safety and biomedicine fields.

Abstract
A fluorescence method is described for the determination of hydroquinone based on the double carbon dot system as peroxide mimic enzymes and fluorescent probes. Deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based fluorescent carbon dots (N/Cl-CDs) and copper-doped carbon dots (N/Cu-CDs) were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Both carbon dots were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. N/Cl-CDs displayed intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and were able to catalyze the oxidation of hydroquinone (H2Q) to p-benzoquinone (BQ) along with an intermediate. The intermediate (BQ) did quench the N/Cu-CD photoluminescence (PL) at 450 nm using an excitation wavelength of 347 nm. Based on the results, a fluorescent platform is proposed for the determination of hydroquinone with a promising determination limit of 0.04 μM (linear range, 1.0-75 μM). The recoveries of spiked water samples were in the range 89.5-105.1%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 1.5-2.9%. This method was applied to determination of H2Q in environmental water samples.

Abstract
N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) exhibit bright blue emissions and have been used as viable fluorescent probes in the turn-off fluorometric assay for vanillin detection. NCDs were prepared from glucose and tyrosine using a facile and green synthesis process. The one-pot hydrothermal treatment was used without any strong acid or oxidant. The fluorescence of NCDs (with excitation/emission peaks at 323/416 nm, respectively) can be quenched by vanillin. The quenching mechanism belongs to the dynamic quenching mode due to the molecular collisions of the ground state of vanillin and the excited state of NCDs. This turn-off system could be utilized to quantify vanillin within a linear range of 0.43-264 μM. The limit of detection was 0.10 μM. Moreover, this approach was successfully applied toward the determination of vanillin in food samples.

Abstract
A rapid, sensitive, and selective fluorometric assay is described for the determination of chromium(VI) in real waters and living cells. The method is making use of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur tri-doped carbon dots (NPS-CDs) which have absorption/emission maxima at 360/505 nm/nm. Cr(VI) has an absorption maximum at 350 nm and causes an inner filter effect (IFE) on the blue fluorescence of the NPS-CDs. The NPS-CDs were hydrothermally synthesized using p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride as precursors. The NPS-CDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and several spectroscopic methods. They are biocompatible and negligibly cytotoxic when tested with HeLa cells and MCF-7 cells even after 48 h of incubation. The NPS-CDs were used as fluorescent probes for Cr(VI). The detection limit is 0.23 μM (three times standard deviation versus slope), and the linear response covers the 1 to 500 μM chromate concentration range. The NPS-CDs were applied to the determination of Cr(VI) in real waters and living cells (HeLa and MCF-7) and gave satisfying results.
