Mercury (II) ions (Hg 2+ ), as one of the most toxic heavy metals, can cause irreversible damage to human health even at very low concentration due to its high toxicity and bioaccumulation . Herein, a facile ratiometric fluorescence nanomixture based on carbon dots‑gold nanoclusters (CDs-Au NCs) was constructed for quantitative detection of Hg 2+ . Lysine functionalized carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by one-pot hydrothermal method , while gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) were synthesized via using chicken egg white (CEW) as reducer and stabilizer. The novel nanomixture exhibited two strong emission peaks at 450 nm and 665 nm under 390 nm excitation, and showed pink fluorescence under UV light. Interestingly, the fluorescence of the CDs-Au NCs nanomixture was selectively response to Hg 2+ . The fluorescence of Au NCs at 665 nm was decreased when Hg 2+ was presented in the solution, while the fluorescence of CDs at 450 nm stayed constant. The fluorescence color changed from pink to blue obviously with increasing the concentration of Hg 2+ , which indicated that CDs-Au NCs could be used for visual detection Hg 2+ by the naked eye. Under optimal conditions, this ratiometric fluorescent sensor could detect Hg 2+ accurately and possess a great sensitivity with a detection limit of 63 nM. In addition, this method was applied to detect Hg 2+ in real water samples with great recoveries, suggesting its potential in practical application with simplicity, environmentally friendly and low cost.

A ratiometric sensor of MOF/ CdTe QDs was constructed by physically mixing CdTe QDs ( λ em = 605 nm) with MOF (Fe-MIL-88NH 2, λ em = 425 nm). Under an UV lamp ( λ ex = 365 nm), orange-red CdTe QDs is gradually quenched with increasing levels of Hg 2+ or Cu 2+ , while blue MOF is unchanged, accompanying with a visual change from bright pink to blue fluorescence. Hence, a new method for determining Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ by MOF/CdTe QDs sensor is established, whose detection limits are 0.22 ng mL −1 for Hg 2+ (2.1% RSD) and 0.26 ng mL −1 for Cu 2+ (1.1% RSD), respectively. In addition, on-site, rapid and visual determination of Hg 2+ /Cu 2+ in red wine without any pretreatment is realized by using a MOF/CdTe QDs paper-based sensor. For Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ , the semi-quantitative detection ranges of the paper-based sensor are both 10 ~ 5000 ng mL −1 , implying that it has great application value in analyzing Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ in liquid 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.

Developing hollow-structure quantum dot carriers to increase quantum luminous efficiency is a creative idea for designing a novel sensor. A ratiometric hollow CdTe@H-ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs sensor was developed for the sensitive and selective detection of dopamine (DA). CdTe QDs and CDs were used as the reference signal and recognition signal, respectively, and thus showed a visual effect. MIPs provided high selectivity toward DA. The TEM image demonstrated that the sensor was a hollow structure, which could have ample opportunity to excite quantum dots to emit light through multiple light scattering through holes. In the presence of DA, the fluorescence intensity of the optimum CdTe@H-ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs was remarkably quenched by DA, achieving a linear range of 0–600 nM and a limit of detection of 12.35 nM. The developed ratiometric fluorescence sensor showed an obvious and meaningful color change with a gradual increase in DA concentration under a UV lamp. Moreover, the optimum CdTe@H-ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs was remarkably sensitive and selective in detecting DA among various analogs and showed good anti-interference ability. The HPLC method also further confirmed that CdTe@H-ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs shows good practical application prospects.

Intracellular pH plays a vital role in cell biology, including signal transduction, ion transport and homeostasis. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescent silica probe was developed to detect intracellular pH values. The pH sensitive dye fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I (FITC), emitting green fluorescence, was hybridized with reference dye rhodamine B (RB), emitting red fluorescence, as a dual-emission fluorophore, in which RB was embedded in a silica core of ∼40 nm diameter. Moreover, to prevent fluorescence resonance energy transfer between FITC and RB, FITC was grafted onto the surface of core–shell silica colloidal particles with a shell thickness of 10–12 nm. The nanoprobe exhibited dual emission bands centered at 517 and 570 nm, under single wavelength excitation of 488 nm. RB encapsulated in silica was inert to pH change and only served as reference signals for providing built-in correction to avoid environmental effects. Moreover, FITC (λem = 517 nm) showed high selectivity toward H+ against metal ions and amino acids, leading to fluorescence variation upon pH change. Consequently, variations of the two fluorescence intensities (Fgreen/Fred) resulted in a ratiometric pH fluorescent sensor. The specific nanoprobe showed good linearity with pH variation in the range of 6.0–7.8. It can be noted that the fluorescent silica probe demonstrated good water dispersibility, high stability and low cytotoxicity. Accordingly, imaging and biosensing of pH variation was successfully achieved in HeLa cells.

A ratiometric fluorescence sensor for Cu 2+ detection was developed by employing carbon dots (CDs) as the reference fluorophore, and bovine serum albumin (BSA)–Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) both as specific recognition element and as response signal. The CDs were prepared by heating an acetic acid solution of chitosan at 180°C. The proposed nanoprobe was prepared by simply mixing the CDs and BSA–AuNCs. Here, the CDs were associated with BSA–AuNCs to form CDs/BSA–AuNCs nanoprobes based on electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds. In the hybrid fluorescent CDs/BSA–AuNCs nanoprobe, the emission of BSA–AuNCs at 640 nm was quenched by Cu 2+ , whereas the emission of CDs at 424 nm was maintained. The fluorescence changes of I 640 / I 424 had good linearity with Cu 2+ concentration in the range 1.5–600 nM, and the detection limit of the nanoprobe was 0.5 nM for Cu 2+ detection, almost 4 × 10 4 times lower than the maximum allowable amount of Cu 2+ in drinking water. The proposed method for detecting Cu 2+ also had high selectivity and feasibility.

A rapid and sensitive ratiometric fluorescence nanosensor for the detection of norfloxacin was obtained, where the yellow-emitting CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were as an internal reference and aluminium ion (Al³⁺) chelated on the QDs surface as the sensing unit. The nanosensor was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As the concentration of norfloxacin increased, the sensor exhibited a continuous fluorescence color transition from yellow to blue. The CdTe-Al³⁺ QDs sensor demonstrated a low limit of detection of 6.6 nM. The ratiometric fluorescence sensor was also integrated with a smartphone color recognizer for visual and quantitative detection of norfloxacin with a limit of detection of 1.57 µM. This sensing platform exhibits excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and anti-interference performance, and it has great potential for on-site and quantitative analysis.

The increasing deterioration of ecosystem derived from heavy metals residues brings about the environmental and food contamination , which presses the exploration of facile platform for monitoring heavy metals. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence sensor was designed for Hg 2+ detection based on the compound of UiO-66-NH 2 and Ru(bpy) 3 2+ (Ru@UiO-66-NH 2 ) which was synthesized by situ encapsulation. The innovative composite displayed two emission peaks at 437 and 604 nm, and the addition of Hg 2+ could only quench the blue fluorescence due to static quenching and photo-induced electron transfer mechanism, providing an internal standard to promote the precision. Under optimal conditions, the ratiometric Ru@UiO-66-NH 2 probe revealed outstanding anti-interference capability and performed with a great limit of detection (LOD) of 0.053 μM for Hg 2+ , which was 2-fold lower than that of single-color UiO-66-NH 2 . By merit of Ru@UiO-66-NH 2 , test hydrogels were fabricated to provide a tactics for visual, rapid and on-site detection of Hg 2+ . Additionally, the dual-emitting sensing platform presented satisfactory recoveries and reliabilities in lake water, tap water , and drink water, demonstrating the application potential of this proposed ratiometric fluorescence sensor for monitoring Hg 2+ .

A novel dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensor (CDs@Eu-MOFs) has been synthesized successfully by encapsulating water-soluble fluorescent CDs into the chambers of Eu-MOFs via a simple one-pot hydrothermal method , which can be used for the detection of Hg 2+ in environmental water samples. The synthesized CDs@Eu-MOFs inherited simultaneously the excellent luminescence performance of Eu 3+ and CDs and exhibited good structural and fluorescence stability in aqueous solution. The presence of Hg 2+ changed the fluorescence intensity of CDs, while the fluorescence intensity of Eu-MOFs hardly changed, which could be used as the recognition part and the reference part respectively to construct the ratiometric fluorescence sensor. The obtained Hg 2+ fluorescent probe showed a wide linear range (0–300 μM) and a low detection limit (0.12 nM). The developed method can be used as a multi-functional fluorescent sensor with high sensitivity and good selectivity for the determination of Hg 2+ in actual water samples.

Content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an essential index in the development of various diseases and even some malignant tumors. Biosensing for ATP with high sensitivity and accuracy is of fundamental importance in both biological research and medical diagnostics. Here we report a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for ATP based on multi-color silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs). This nanosystem contains two core components: a hairpin DNA integrated with an ATP aptamer, an anchor sequence and a special template segment for synthesis of green-emitting Ag NCs; a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) which is incompletely complementary with the anchor sequence to be a duplex scaffold for red-emitting Ag NCs. Once exposed to the target, formation of the ATP/aptamer complexes opens the hairpin structure and releases the anchor sequence to hybridize with the ssDNA, accompanied by the “turn-off” of the green fluorescence and “turn-on” of the red fluorescence. By measuring the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two signals, we successfully establish a ratiometric sensor which exhibits sensitive and accurate assay performance toward ATP, with the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.38 μM. Meanwhile, this ratiometric sensor shows stable recovery in real sample assay, indicating their potential promise in practical applications.

A simple and effective ratiometric fluorescence nanosensor for the selective detection of Cu2+ has been developed by covalently connecting the carboxyl-modified red fluorescent cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) to the amino-functionalized blue fluorescent carbon nanodots (CDs). The sensor exhibits the dual-emissions peaked at 437 and 654 nm, under a single excitation wavelength of 340 nm. The red fluorescence can be selectively quenched by Cu2+, while the blue fluorescence is a internal reference, resulting in a distinguishable fluorescence color change from pink to blue under a UV lamp. The detection limit of this highly sensitive ratiometric probe is as low as 0.36 nM, which is lower than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defined limit (20 μM). Moreover, a paper-based sensor has been prepared by printing the hybrid carbon dots–quantum dots probe on a microporous membrane, which provides a convenient and simple approach for the visual detection of Cu2+. Therefore, the as-synthesized probe shows great potential application for the determination of Cu2+ in real samples.

A core-satellite nanocomposite was prepared by encapsulating the photostable blue carbon dots (BCDs) in the core of silica as the reference signal readout, and the target-sensitive gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) covalently linked to the surface of silica as the respond signal readout. The nanocomposite (BCD@SiO 2 @AuNC) was used as a ratiometric fluorescent sensor to realize the selective detection of Gram-negative bacteria. The detection principle was based on the quenching of Cu 2+ toward AuNCs and the reduction of Gram-negative bacteria toward Cu 2+ . The sensor exhibited good selectivity toward Gram-negative bacteria owing to the copper-homeostasis mechanism possessed by the bacteria. The sensor demonstrated linear response to the logarithm concentration of Gram-negative bacteria with determination coefficients higher than 0.912. The feasibility of the sensor was verified by analysis of Gram-negative bacteria in eggshell, swimming pool water, as well as Chinese cabbage samples with recoveries ranging from 93.9% to 109%.
