This study presents a facile one-pot solvothermal synthesis of high-performance green fluorescent carbon dots (G-CDs) using o-phenylenediamine and ethylenediamine as precursors. The G-CDs show excellent optical, temporal, and chemical stability. Notably, they exhibit the highest quantum yield of 24.2% in ethanol and a strong green emission peaking at 546 nm under 440–490 nm excitation. In addition, G-CDs have outstanding salt resistance and multi-solvent compatibility. Due to its bright photoluminescence, G-CDs can be used as a secure ink for anti-counterfeiting. More remarkably, Cd 2+ ions can efficiently quench the fluorescence of G-CDs with a detection limit of 0.152 µmol/L, enabling accurate quantification of Cd 2+ in water systems. The simple synthesis of high-performance G-CDs expands their applicability in sensing and bioimaging.

A highly selective and sensitive nanoprobe with fluorescence turn-on sensing properties for recognizing Cd2+ was developed through replacing Mn2+ near the surface of Mn:ZnSe quantum dots (QDs). The similar ionic radii of Cd2+ and Zn2+ make the replacement of superficial Zn2+ by Cd2+ possible, followed by the replacement of external Mn2+ by Cd2+. Thus, this fluorescence turn-on strategy possesses great selectivity for the determination of Cd2+. Based on this strategy, the limit of detection (LOD) for Cd2+ is 18 nM, which is superior to the LOD of most reported fluorescent nanomaterial-based probes.

The detection of heavy metals in aqueous solutions has always attracted much attention from all over the world. A fluorescent probe of CdSe/CdS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) was designed to detect trace Cd2+in aqueous solutions using the OFF–ON mode rapidly and efficiently, likely based on adsorption and desorption reactions between ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) and CdSe/CdS QDs. In the OFF mode, the optical shielding function of EDTA results in fluorescence quenching owing to the strong adsorption ability of EDTA with Cd2+on the sites of CdSe/CdS QDs surface. In the ON mode, the introduction of Cd2+promotes the desorption of EDTA from the EDTA-CdSe/CdS QDs and restores the fluorescence intensity. There were two linear response ranges which were 0.1–20 µmol/L and 20–90 µmol/L for the EDTA-CdSe/CdS system to detect Cd2+. The detection limit was 6 nmol/L, and the standard deviation was below 4% for the detection of Cd2+concentration in tap water.Keywords:QDs;fluorescence quenching;fluorescence restore;Cd2+detection;adsorption;desorption

Developing simple and sensitive non-aggregation strategy for detecting Cd 2+ is necessary for improving the selectivity and sensitivity of probe. Here, we establish a simple, rapid and ratiometric strategy for the recognition of Cd 2+ based on the formation of core-shell ZnSe/CdS structure using ZnSe quantum dots (QDs). The transformation from binary ZnSe QDs to core-shell ZnSe/CdS QDs both change the elemental composition and structure of ZnSe QDs, leading to the changes in band gap of ZnSe QDs, which could be observed in the UV–vis spectra. In the detection process, ZnSe QDs only possess absorption peak at 343 nm, the formation of ZnSe/CdS after the addition of Cd 2+ leads to the appearance of the new peak at 397 nm, while other heavy metal ions could not cause the appearance of new absorption peak. Therefore, this strategy shows good selectivity for Cd 2+ detection. Based on this strategy, the limit of detection (LOD) for Cd 2+ is 11 nM by UV–vis spectroscopy with a desirable relation of linearity (R 2 = 0.999) between A 397 /A 343 and Cd 2+ contents, which is superior to the LOD of most reported nanomaterials . The response time for Cd 2+ detection is as short as 60 s, which is suitable for rapid detection. This ratiometric probe has also been applied to the detection of Cd 2+ in tap water samples, the recovery of Cd 2+ was between 94.9% and 105.6% for tap water samples, indicating the high accuracy of our ratiometric assay. Our strategy not only provided a new method for detecting Cd 2+ , but also put forward an implication that the band energy changes of QDs caused by heavy metal ions can be applied in the selective and sensitive detection of heavy metal ions.

The addition of heteroatoms changes the structure and optical properties of carbon quantum dots (CQDs). In the paper, nitrogen (N)-doped CQDs are prepared via one-step hydrothermal method from Auricularia auricular and ethylenediamine. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) analysis reveals that the average size of carbon quantum dots is 5±2 nm, whereas the chemical study shows the existence of C-N bond. The produced N-doped CQDs have fluorescence quantum yields of 28.4%. Moreover, the prepared CQDs showed high sensitivity and accuracy and had a good proportional band of 0-50 μM for detection Hg 2+ (R 2 =0.9919) and Cd 2+ (R 2 =0.9964). The low detection limits were 77.21 nM and 101.55 nM for Hg 2+ and Cd 2+ , respectively. The CQDs was triumphantly used to track metal ions in environmental samples. So, it was a promising method for environmental pollutant detection.

In this paper, we report a novel rare earth metal complex with the weak ligand of aromatic sulphonic acid (pyridine-3-sulfonic acid, 3-pSO 3 H), and characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electrochemiluminescence spectra, etc. Then an excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal was observed with K 2 S 2 O 8 as the coreactant in NaAc-HAc buffer solution. For another thing, the electrochemical properties of the compound have been thoroughly investigated in acetonitrile solution, the possible ECL reaction mechanism was proposed as well. Furthermore, a simple and straightforward ECL platform was reported for sensitive and selective detection of Cd 2+ due to the effective quenching after addition of Cd 2+ . Other heavy/transition metal ions do not interfere with the sensing. The limit of detection is determined as 0.13 nM, the results suggested that as-prepared complex could be a promising material for developing ECL senors to detect the Cd 2+ rapidly indwell in environmental and practical samples.

A new kind of internal reference probe was developed to construct a ratiometric electrochemical sensor for accurate and sensitive Cd2+ detection. AuPt nanoclusters (AuPt NCs) were synthesized and then evenly distributed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to form a nanocomposite (AuPt–rGO), which showed peroxidase-like activity and catalyzed the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) in the presence of H2O2. It was found that DAP was further reduced on the electrode with a constant current intensity whether Cd2+ was added or not, which enabled it to function as an excellent internal reference probe. Thus, the ratio between the reduction currents of Cd2+ and DAP (iCd2+/iDAP) was proposed to monitor Cd2+ based on the ratiometric strategy. Additionally, the high surface area and good conductivity of AuPt–rGO endowed the sensor with enhanced sensitivity. A wide linear range and a low limit of detection were measured at 5.0 × 10−8–1.0 × 10−4 mol L−1 and 3.1 × 10−8 mol L−1, respectively. Compared with the single signal sensors, this ratiometric sensor presents more accuracy and reliability in the detection of Cd2+, facilitating the quantification of Cd2+ concentration in different water samples with good recoveries. The novel internal reference probe proposed here shows great possibilities for accurate and sensitive Cd2+ detection based on the ratiometric strategy.

In this study, we designed a Cd 2+ whole-cell biosensor with both positive and negative feedback cascade amplifiers in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (LTCM) based on our previous design with only a negative feedback amplifier (TCM). The results showed that the newly developed biosensor LTCM was greatly improved compared to TCM. Firstly, the linear response range of LTCM was expanded while the maximum linear response range was raised from 0.05 to 0.1 μM. Meanwhile, adding a positive feedback amplifier further increased the fluorescence output signal of LTCM 1.11–2.64 times under the same culture conditions. Moreover, the response time of LTCM for detection of practical samples was reduced from 6 to 4 h. At the same time, LTCM still retained very high sensitivity and specificity, while its lowest detection limit was 0.1 nM Cd 2+ and the specificity was 23.29 (compared to 0.1 nM and 17.55 in TCM, respectively). In summary, the positive and negative feedback cascade amplifiers effectively improved the performance of the biosensor LTCM, resulting in a greater linear response range, higher output signal intensity, and shorter response time than TCM while retaining comparable sensitivity and specificity, indicating better potential for practical applications.

This work reported the fabrication of bovine serum albumin stabilised gold nanoclusters (BSA-Au NCs)–graphene oxide nanocomplex (BSA-Au NCs-GO) as a ‘turn-on’ fluorescent probe for the detection of Cd 2+ . The prepared BSA-Au NCs showed an intense red fluorescence, and the fluorescence of BSA-Au NCs was reduced significantly by graphene oxide due to its excellent quenching properties. However, in the presence of 65 µmol l −1 Cd 2+ , the fluorescence intensity recovered to 82.5% of the intensity of BSA-Au NCs, and the fluorescence intensity increased 1.3-fold relative to the BSA-Au NCs-GO nanocomplex. This proposed probe expands the application of BSA-Au NCs, which can be used as a reversible fluorescence nanoswitch for inexpensive, label free and simple detection of Cd 2+ in the aqueous samples.

Cadmium ion (Cd 2+ ) is a highly toxic heavy metal pollutant with long biological half-life and strong bioaccumulation, which may cause irreversible damage to human health even at low-dose intake. Sensitive and specific detection of ultra-trace Cd 2+ is of great significance in food safety and environmental monitoring. In this work, a simple-to-use aptasensor to rapidly detect Cd 2+ in various liquid media is developed based on a DNA aptamer modified gold interdigitated electrode (IDE). Capacitance at the solid-liquid interface is utilized to reflect the change caused by adsorbed Cd 2+ . With the microfluidic enrichment by AC electrothermal (ACET) effect, Cd 2+ ions are sped up toward the IDE surface and captured by the probes instantaneously. Owing to the integration of target enrichment and capacitance detection, the sample-to-result time of this sensor is as short as 30 s. This aptasensor as a quantitative detector has a linear response range from 0.45 fM to 4.5 pM, with a limit of detection of 253.16 aM. The selectivity ratio reaches 2320: 1 against non-target metal ions. By detection of Cd 2+ spiked in tap water and olive oil as well as natural residual Cd 2+ in rice leaching solution, the sensor’s applicability and reliability in different practical liquid media are demonstrated.

Cadmium (Cd), a typical heavy metal not essential for the human body, can cause harm to the liver and kidneys upon exposure. Hence, rapid cadmium detection in the environment is of utmost importance. This research presents an effective approach for detecting divalent cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) using a sensitive dual hairpin (HP) electrochemical aptasensor. The aptasensor incorporates AuPd/Fe-MOF as signal labels and Au/Cu 2 O as the substrate material, and the rapid detection of divalent cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) was based on catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA), as the recognition strategy. Au/Cu 2 O increased the specific surface area of the electrode and provided abundant sites for capturing the complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (CDNA) probe. The electrochemical signal is then amplified through synergistic catalytic hydrogen peroxide with AuPd/Fe-MOF, thereby enhancing the aptasensor's sensitivity. Moreover, the dual HP design effectively reduces the likelihood of non-specific capture and minimizes false positives. In this study, various analytical techniques were utilized to characterize the material and evaluate the aptasensor's performance. The morphological characteristics of the material were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to analyze the elemental composition and distribution of the material, respectively. The electrochemical behavior of the sensor was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), while electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) helped understand the aptasensor's assembly process. Furthermore, the aptasensor's performance was assessed using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the constructed sensor demonstrated effective detection of Cd 2+ in the concentration range of 10 –4 –10 µM, with a remarkably low detection limit of 2.27 × 10 –5 µM. The feasibility of the sensor was validated by successfully detecting Cd 2+ in real water samples. .

Developing wearable sensors to determine chemical contamination in solidoid is currently a great challenge. Hydrogels with polymeric networks have been employed as electrochemical cells and media to realize wearable solidoid sensing. However, it is still a hard task to enable hydrogel to simultaneously possess effective mass transfer, mechanical robustness as well as easy and tight adhesion to sensing electrodes. Routinely, a hydrogel with improved adhesion to the electrode surface by introducing additives may deteriorate the mass transfer capability. Increasing the porosity of hydrogel could enhance mass diffusion but sacrifices mechanical robustness. Herein, a composite hydrogel is achieved by embedding magnetic oriented MWCNT-Fe 3 O 4 strips in porous agarose (MMFPA), which exhibits enhanced permeability and speeding diffusion of electrolyte ions. Moreover, the orientation in order and strip-like MWCNT-Fe 3 O 4 three-dimensional composites improve the compressive strength of hydrogel, which could recover back within 2 min in water after removal of pressure. Such magnetic hydrogel is beneficial to be assembled to the wearable glove sensor by using magnets to achieve a stable and compact sensing platform. As the application example, the resultant wearable sensing protocol is successfully utilized to monitor Cd 2+ trace residues in rice, tea, and soil with an affordable response as low as 0.112 mg/kg and rapid signal acquisition (<5 min). It paves an attractive, accessible, and effective way to on-site evaluate solidoid Cd 2+ level for forewarning food safety and environmental risk.
