A ratiometric fluorescence fiber-optical sensor system (RFFS) merging a Y-type optical fiber spectrometer and CdTe QDs composite functionalized with glutathione and mercaptopropionic acid (GMPA@CdTe-QDs) for highly selective and on-site detection of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in environmental water samples was designed. Our preliminary results suggested that the red fluorescence of the synthesized GMPA@CdTe-QDs was effectively quenched by CIP. Based on this, the RFFS/GMPA@CdTe-QDs system was successfully fabricated and used for highly selective and rapid detection of CIP on site in the concentration range from 0 to 45 μM with the detection limit of 0.90 μM. The established method exhibited good interference resistance to the analogues of CIP and provided a great potential platform for real-time detection of CIP residues in environmental water. In addition, the fluorescence quenching mechanism of GMPA@CdTe-QDs by CIP was also investigated by means of temperature effect, fluorescence lifetime, ultraviolet (UV) visible absorption, and fluorescent spectra. Our results suggested clearly that the red fluorescence of GMPA@CdTe-QDs was quenched by CIP via the photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) mode.Keywords:ratiometric fluorescence;optical fiber sensor;GMPA@CdTe-QDs;ciprofloxacin;on-site detection

The economic and medicinal value of Atractylodis Rhizoma (AR) is intricately tied to its geographical origin and mainly depends on the atractylodin (IUPAC Name: 2-[(1E,7E)-nona-1,7-dien-3,5-diynyl]furan) content in it. In this study, a green fluorescent sensor using N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, IUPAC Name: (2R)-2-acetamido-3-sulfanylpropanoic acid)-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) was developed for the detection of AR origin discrimination. Both electron transfer and internal filtration effects was introduced into sensor to improve the sensitivity and selectivity. The sensors can achieve visual quantitative analysis of atractylodin using the partial least squares regression (PLSR) model. This model with a detection limit of 0.321 µg /mL and the quantification range of 0.002–0.030 mg /mL. Furthermore, the visual sensor also could be applied to the quantification of atractylodin in the actual AR samples with recoveries as high as 95.36 % to 105 %. Their sensor was also able to identify different origin of AR with an accuracy of 100 % for the training set and 95.29 % for the prediction set using the Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) model. The method offers direction for verifying the authenticity of traditional Chinese medicine and precise analysis of intended constituents in complex systems.

The effect of a ZnO#ZnS QDs heterojunction (O#SQDs) on the binding affinities of flavonoid glycosides for bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated. The fluorescence intensities of BSA decreased remarkably with increasing concentration of O#SQDs. The magnitudes of the binding constants of flavonoid glycosides for BSA in the presence of O#SQDs were in the range of 105–107 L mol−1, and the number of binding sites per BSA (n) was determined as 1.24 ± 0.17. O#SQDs increased the affinities of flavonoid glycosides for BSA by about 2.96% to 114.68% depending on their structures. O#SQDs in blood will enhance the transportation of flavonoid glycosidegs in blood and improve their pharmacology effects. From this point, O#SQDs are a perfect candidate for flavonoid glycosides delivery applications.

In this study, a mesoporous silica fluorescence probe co-doped with manganese-doped zinc sulfide quantum dots (Mn:ZnS QDs) and rhodamine B (RB) and coated with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has been prepared by sol–gel methods. The morphology and structure were characterized in detail by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform-infrared absorption spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). The probe exhibited two characteristic emission peaks at 411 nm and 582 nm, and the synchronous ratiometric fluorescence responses F411/F582 to different concentrations of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) showed a good linear correlation in the range of 0.01–10 μmol L−1 besides achieving the sensitive detection of 4-NP with a detection limit as low as 3.0 nmol L−1 (3σ). The probe possesses the advantages of selectivity toward the target molecular structure, self-stability in the detection time domain and anti-interference ability, exhibiting excellent potential for application in 4-NP detection in different water environments.

EDTA-etched CdTe@CdS QDs were used as the specific recognition element and signal probe of a fluorescence sensor or paper chip for the highly sensitive detection of Cd(II) with an electronic eye device as readout. The results showed that the CdTe@CdS QDs were successfully synthesized with a typical core–shell structure. Under the optimum conditions, the EDTA-etched CdTe@CdS QDs sensor achieved the sensitive detection of Cd(II) with a detection limit of 0.092 μM and a concentration range of 0.44–6.67 μM. The paper chips based on the EDTA-etched CdTe@CdS QDs sensor had a visual cut-off value of 0.44 μM with a short detection time (<15 min). The proposed method also exhibited excellent stability, high specificity, and good recovery for Cd(II) in real rice samples. These results suggested that the EDTA-etched CdTe@CdS QDs provide a promising platform for on-site and visual detection of Cd(II) in rice samples.

Conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical feedstocks through artificial photosynthesis is an effective strategy to alleviate energy and environmental issues. Herein, we have developed a novel perovskite-based catalyst via in situ growing CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) on the affinal 2D CsPb2Br5 nanosheets for CO2 photoconversion. CsPbBr3 QDs were generated by peeling off layers from their cubic counterpart; meanwhile, CsPb2Br5 nanosheets were formed by heaping up the peeled layers. The resultant dual-phase composite exhibited outstanding activity and selectivity for photocatalytic conversion of gaseous CO2 with a CO generation rate of 197.11 μmol g–1 h–1 under 300 W Xe lamp irradiation, which is 2.5 and 1.1 times higher than that of pure CsPb2Br5 or CsPbBr3. Importantly, the fabricated dual-phase material presented extremely high stability and was able to maintain an unchangeable CO2 conversion rate under wet air in the consecutive 10 h of recycling test. Furthermore, attributing to the in situ assembling strategy, the close contact allowed photo-generated electrons in CsPbBr3 QDs to transfer rapidly to CsPb2Br5, and the affluent active sites in such an architecture enabled achieving enhanced CO2 photoconversion activity. The present work provides an attractive approach for in situ constructing a consubstantial perovskite-based composite photocatalyst to ensure great stability and excellent activity for artificial photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

A highly sensitive and dual-directional fluorescent sensing system was developed to detect both cisplatin prodrug cross-linked hyaluronic acid (CPHA) hydrogel (quencher) and DNA (receptor) based on mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs). Different from the previous work for this platinum compound, a multifunctional delivery system, CPHA hydrogel, which was used to address the challenges in drug resistance and severe side effects, was prepared and accurately detected based on the synthesis of the cisplatin prodrug and fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs resulting from photo-induced electron transfer. When DNA was conjugated with Pt ions in a system composed of CdTe QDs and CPHA hydrogel, the fluorescence of the system was recovered for the determination of DNA. This reversible “turn off–on” strategy presented a high sensitivity and low detection for CPHA hydrogel from 10 to 50 nM with a detection limit of 1.50 nM and DNA from 0 to 75 nM with a detection limit of 0.60 nM. This approach provides a novel direction for further study of the Pt based drug-load with reduced side effects and improved therapy efficacy, effective screening of anticancer drugs, and accurate determination of DNA at low concentrations.

Herein, a label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for sensitive determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was fabricated based on CdS quantum dots loaded onto metal organic framework (CdS QDs@MOF) and triethanolamine modified on gold nanoparticles (TEOA@AuNPs) as bi-coreactants of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ECL system. The TEOA@AuNPs served as not only coreactant of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ but also nanocarrier for CEA aptamer which was bonded to the TEOA@AuNPs through Au–S bond. After incubated in CEA solution, the ECL signals decreased due to the poor conductivity of CEA and there was a linear correlation between the ECL intensity and log(C CEA ). Based on this result, a label-free ECL biosensor has been developed successfully and used to detect CEA with a detection limit of 8.5 × 10 −5 ng/mL. The proposed ECL aptasensor had good analytical performance in the detection of CEA in human serum samples.

The nanostructured hybrid assembly has gained growing interest due to their unique electronic, optical and catalytic properties . Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescent sensor was constructed by coupling blue-green emission carbon dots (CDs) to a block copolymer micelle-encapsulated red-emission CdSe/ZnS QDs through host-guest interaction. The carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by carbonization of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) via a simple hydrothermal process. The amphiphilic diblock copolymer AZO-PNIPAM-b-P(St-co-MQ) containing azobenzene (AZO)-terminated hydrophilic poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) block and hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) block was synthesized by a typical RAFT polymerization . The 5-(2-methacryloylethyloxymethyl)-8- quinolinol (MQ) units were introduced into PS block, which could make CdSe/ZnS QDs to be embedded into the core of the block polymer micelles via coordination interaction in the self-assembling process. The as-fabricated β-cyclodextrin derived CDs-coupled block copolymer hybrid micelles loaded with CdSe/ZnS QDs as a fluorescence sensor exhibited dual emission peaks of CDs centered at 450 nm and CdSe/ZnS QDs at 620 nm with a large peak separation of 170 nm upon excitation at 360 nm. And the as-prepared hybrid micelles as a ratiometric fluorescence sensor can be applied to detect Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ with the detection limits down to 1.6 and 2.74 μM, respectively.

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) suffer from electrocatalytic activity loss due to particle aggregation. We have proposed a MOF confinement strategy synthesizes CoP-NiP 2 quantum dots (QDs) embedded in N-doped carbon (CoP-NiP 2 QDs/NC), achieving atomic-level dispersion of active species. Electrochemical analyses reveal: 1) hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance surpassing commercial 20% Pt/C above 42 mA·cm -2 with ultralow loading (0.2 mg·cm -2 ); 2) Superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and overall water splitting in alkaline/neutral electrolytes, outperforming commercial RuO 2 and RuO 2 ||Pt/C electrolytic cell. Enhanced charge transfer kinetics supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which reveal synergistic electronic interactions between CoP and NiP 2 optimizing Gibbs free energy of reactions and water adsorption/dissociation energetics. This work shows a confinement-driven design strategy for multicomponent TMP QDs, bridging synthetic control of compound architectures with their electrocatalytic functionality for efficient hydrogen production.

An efficient and innovative electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed for trace detection of cyfluthrin. The sensor utilized materials such as lotus root shaped carbon fiber (Co CNFs), cadmium selenide quantum dots (CdSe QDs), and Fe 3 O 4 to amplify Ru(bpy) 3 2+ signals. Co CNFs, with its large specific surface area and porosity, served the purpose of not only enhancing the stability of the sensor by fixing CdSe QDs and Ru(bpy) 3 2+ on the Co CNFs/GCE, but also facilitating electron transfer. CdSe QDs was involved in the luminescence reaction and collaborated with Ru(bpy) 3 2+ to enhance the sensor's sensitivity, while Fe 3 O 4 promoted electron transfer in the system due to its large surface area. The solid-state ECL sensor achieved satisfactory signal under the synergistic action of these components. The ECL signal of the sensor was quenched by cyfluthrin, and a favorable linear relationship was observed between the sensor and cyfluthrin in the concentration range 1 × 10 –12 to 1 × 10 –6 M. The detection limit of the sensor was 3.3 × 10 –13 M (S/N = 3). The utilization of lotus root shaped carbon fiber, CdSe QDs, and Fe 3 O 4 in the Ru(bpy) 3 2+ system demonstrated a synergistic effect for cyfluthrin detection, presenting a new approach for the rapid determination analysis of pesticide residues in foods.

Artificial Z-scheme, a tandem structure with two-step excitation process, has gained significant attention in energy production and environmental remediation. By effectively connecting and matching the band-gaps of two different photosystems, it is significant to utilize more photons for excellent photoactivity. Herein, a novel one-photon (same energy-two-photon) Z-scheme system is constructed between rGO modified boron-nitrogen co-doped-WO 3 , and coupled CdSe quantum dots-(QDs). The coctalyst-0.5%Rh x Cr 2 O 3 (0.5RCr) modified amount-optimized sample 6%CdSe/1%rGO3%BN-WO 3 revealed an unprecedented visible-light driven overall-water-splitting to produce ≈51 µmol h −1 g −1 H 2 and 25.5 µmol h −1 g −1 O 2 , and it remained unchanged for 5 runs in 30 h. This superior performance is ascribed to the one-photon Z-scheme, which simultaneously stimulates a two photocatalysts system, and enhanced charge separation as revealed by various spectroscopy techniques. The density-functional theory is further utilized to understand the origin of this performance enhancement. This work provides a feasible strategy for constructing an efficient one-photon Z-scheme for practical applications.
