Abstract:
A new type of cobalt(II)-doped carbon dots (CCDs) have been fabricated and used successfully for sensing Cr(VI) ions on the basis of photoluminescence quenching. The structural characterization of as-obtained CCDs was thoroughly performed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy. The optical properties were also determined by absorption and fluorescence spectra. By recording 3D fluorescence spectrum, a unique intra-particle Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system was investigated. In addition, fluorescence quenching of CCDs was observed in the presence of Cr(VI) ions due to inner filter effect. A good linear relationship between the concentration of Cr(VI) ions and fluorescent intensity was obtained in the range from 5μM to 125μM (R2=0.99), and the limit of detection was calculated as 1.17μM (0.12ppm for Cr(VI)). Importantly, this method was capable of rapidly detecting Cr(VI) ions in tap water and fish samples, which may be helpful in risk reduction of intake Cr(VI) contamination from water and seafood.

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
