Binary transition metals layered double hydroxides (LDH) such as [NiFe] have been developed as the promising low cost and high performance electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. However their applications as co-catalysts in photocatalysis like CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) for hydrogen evolution are limited by their ineffective contact with QDs nanoparticles. We report on the synthesis of the sulfurated [NiFe]-LDH (FeNiS) nanoparticles via the sulfurizing treatment of [NiFe]-based LDH. The sulfurizing treatment can successfully break the 2D [NiFe]-LDH into FeNiS nanoparticles by replacing the OH group via the S group. FeNiS nanoparticles provide more bonding sites for CdTe/CdS QDs due to the sulfur species formed on the FeNiS nanoparticles. The junction between sulfur species and Cd 2+ of CdTe/CdS QDs could facilitate electrons transfer between CdTe/CdS QDs and FeNiS nanoparticles and then significantly enhance their photocatalytic hydrogen production. The photocatalytic activity of FeNiS-CdTe/CdS is much better than [NiFe]-CdTe/CdS QDs and Pt-CdTe/CdS QDs. In all, this novel FeNiS nanoparticles would be a promising low cost co-catalyst for energy and environmental photocatalysis.

A sensitive and simple method for the determination of chelerythrine (CHE) was developed based on the fluorescence quenching effect of CHE for glutathione (GSH)-capped CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs). Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship was obtained from 0.073 to 24.0 μg mL−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9988, and the detection limit (3σ/κ) was 21.9 ng mL−1. The fluorescence quenching mechanism that has been proposed is based on electron transfer supported by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, fluorescence (FL) spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. The method has been applied to the determination of CHE in synthetic samples and fresh serum samples from healthy humans with satisfactory results. The proposed method manifested several advantages such as high sensitivity, short analysis time, low cost and ease of operation.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a universal and important hydrolase that has been proved to be associated with several diseases. Herein, a simple and effective method was proposed for ALP detection based on the inner filter effect of p-nitrophenol (pNP) on the fluorescence of CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs). For the preparation of CdTe/CdS QDs, Na 2 TeO 3 was used as the Te source, and dithiol as the S source and surface ligand. The as-prepared CdTe/CdS QDs show good fluorescence properties, such as high quantum yield (∼80%), and good chemical/photo-stability. pNP is a hydrolysate of p-nitrophenol phosphate disodium salt under the catalysis of ALP, which could effectively quench the fluorescence of QDs due to the absorption spectra of pNP overlaps well with the excitation spectra of the CdTe/CdS QDs. Therefore, the prepared CdTe/CdS QDs could be applied for ALP detection. A good linear relationship ranging from 2.2 to 220 U/L was obtained with the limit of detection as low as 0.34 U/L. In addition, this method was successfully applied for the assay of ALP in human serum with the satisfactory results.

A kind of novel Glyp-functionalized-CdTe/CdS Quantum dots (QDs) was successfully synthesized by coating Glyp on the surface of the CdTe/CdS QDs. The fluorescence emission of the modified QDs was enhanced greatly but with a low resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS). When it interacted with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA), the fluorescence intensity of the system was obviously quenched and the RRS was enhanced, both in good linear relations. Based on the above, a novel fluorescence biosensor for simple, sensitive and selective detection of ct-DNA was developed. Under the optimized conditions, the linear ranges of the functionalized QDs fluorescence intensity and RRS intensity versus the concentration of ct-DNA were 0.109–70 μg mL −1 and 0.482–90 μg mL −1 , respectively. The corresponding detection limits by fluorescence quenching and by RRS enhancing methods were 0.0327 μg mL −1 and 0.146 μg mL −1 , respectively. The proposed method was applied to detect ct-DNA in synthetic sample with satisfactory results.

Water-soluble thioglycolic acid (TGA)-capped core/shell CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized. The interactions of rhein and emodin with TGA-CdTe/CdS QDs were evaluated by fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Experimental results showed that the high fluorescence intensity of TGA-CdTe/CdS QDs could be effectively quenched in the presence of rhein (or emodin) at 570 nm, which may have resulted from an electron transfer process from excited TGA-CdTe/CdS QDs to rhein (or emodin). The quenching intensity was in proportion to the concentration of both rhein and emodin in a certain range. Under optimized conditions, the linear ranges of TGA-CdTe/CdS QDs fluorescence intensity versus the concentration of rhein and emodin were 0.09650–60 µg/mL and 0.1175–70 µg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9984 and 0.9965, respectively. The corresponding detection limits (3σ/S) of rhein and emodin were 28.9 and 35.2 ng/mL, respectively. This proposed method was applied to determine rhein and emodin in human urine samples successfully with remarkable advantages such as high sensitivity, short analysis time, low cost and easy operation. Based on this, a simple, rapid and highly sensitive method to determine rhein (or emodin) was proposed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this work, an efficient and novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for 2,3′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB72) was constructed based on [email protected] [email protected] quantum dots ( [email protected] QDs)-decorated TiO 2 nanotubes (TiO 2 NTs). [email protected] QDs were prepared by the combination of CdTe and CdS with a proper lattice mismatch. Due to their large band offsets, [email protected] QDs can reduce undesirable carrier recombination, significantly improving their charge separation efficiency. Then the synthesized [email protected] QDs were modified on TiO 2 NTs ( [email protected] QDs/TiO 2 NTs) through electrostatic adsorption method. The as-prepared composites exhibit a wide visible light absorption range, good PEC activity and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Also, the PEC aptasensor prepared via the immobilization of anti-PCB72 aptamer on the composites exhibits outstanding analytical performance with high sensitivity and specificity for PCB72 under visible-light irradiation, achieving a detection limit as low as 0.03 ng/L. It was also applied to detect PCB72 in four different real environmental samples with satisfactory results.

Thioglycolic acid-capped (TGA-capped) CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) were prepared in the water phase. The interaction of TGA-CdTe/CdS QDs with polymyxin B sulfate (POBS) was investigated by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption, fluorescence (FL), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectroscopy and the measurement of fluorescence lifetime . Under optimum conditions, not only the UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra were changed, but also the RRS intensity was greatly enhanced. These phenomena offered useful techniques for the determination of POBS with fluorescence quenching and RRS methods . The linear ranges and detection limits of POBS were 0.09–5.25 μg mL −1 and 27.5 ng mL −1 for the fluorescence quenching technique, 0.02–6.0 μg mL −1 and 6.36 ng mL −1 for the RRS technique. Among them, the RRS approach obtained the higher sensitivity. Accordingly, a novel rapid, convenient, and highly sensitive RRS method for the determination of POBS was proposed and applied to detect POBS in pharmaceutical preparations with satisfactory results. Furthermore, the suitable reaction conditions, affecting factors as well as the influence of coexisting substances were studied. Some possible reaction mechanisms were also discussed.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein and its detection is important for diagnosis and therapeutic prognostic assessment of many cancers. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed for its detection. In the ECL sensor, dimercaptosuccinic acid-capped core/shell structured CdTe/CdS quantum dot (QD) was loaded on metal-organic framework material UiO-66(Ce) as electrochemical luminophore; Ti 3 C 2 /Ag composite was introduced for immobilizing EpCAM aptamer. Due to the well immobilization of QD and catalysis of UiO-66(Ce), the obtained luminophore CdTe/CdS QDs@UiO-66(Ce) displayed a strong and stable ECL signal. Furthermore, the Ti 3 C 2 /Ag could act as a co-reactant accelerator to boost the ECL signal. Thus, the resulted sensor had quite strong initial ECL signal for signal-off detection. Further experiment showed that it exhibited good linear response to EpCAM over the concentration range of 1 pg mL −1 − 10 ng mL −1 in pH 7.4 Tris buffer, with a detection limit low to 0.66 pg mL −1 . Additionally, the ECL sensor also presented high selectivity and satisfying reproducibility; its practicability was demonstrated by the successful determination of EpCAM in serum samples.

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of hepatocellular carcinoma-associated microRNA-122 and microRNA-199a/b-3p. This probe consists of two kinds of nanomaterials. The first comprises CdTe@CdS core-shell quantum dots which, on excitation at 375 nm give two emissions, with peak wavelengths at 543 (g-QDs) and at 627 nm (r-QDs). The second comprises gold nanoparticles acting as a quencher. In the absence of the target, g-QD-N1 and r-QD-N2 are stable due to the fluorescence stability. With the addition of microRNA-122 and microRNA-199a/b-3p, g-QD-N1 and r-QD-N2 are conjugated to the surface of AuNP-S1/S2 through base complementary pairing. As a result, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurs, resulting in a decrease at 550 nm and 635 nm respectively, which can realize the simultaneous detection of two different microRNAs. Detection is achieved within 50 min. The detection limits (3σ/k) are 0.2 nM for microRNA-122 and 0.5 nM for microRNA-199a/b-3p. The clinical applicability of the assay was demonstrated by detecting microRNAs in human serum and different cell lysates.
